We understand your deep longing for a home to call your own, and it's important to remember that God cares about the desires of our hearts. However, it's crucial to align our desires with God's will and trust in His timing and provision.
Firstly, we want to encourage you with the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:33 WEB: "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." This verse reminds us that our primary focus should be on seeking God and His righteousness, trusting that He will provide for our needs as we align our lives with His will. We do not want to provide any false hope by only praying for just a house.
Secondly, we want to address the feeling of hopelessness you mentioned. In Psalm 42:5 WEB, it is written, "Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God." This verse encourages us to put our hope in God, even when our circumstances seem bleak. Trusting that He takes into account all of our needs, which may mean a different plan for a house.
We also want to remind you of the importance of praying in Jesus' name. It's only through Jesus that we have access to God, as it says in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who desires a home of her own. We pray that You will guide her steps, align her desires with Your will, and provide for her needs according to Your riches in glory. Help her to trust in You, to seek first Your kingdom and righteousness, and to find her hope and joy in You alone.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue in faith, seeking God's will for your life. Remember that God's plans for you are good and that He is faithful to provide for His children. Keep trusting in Him, and He will direct your paths.
