We have brought your need before the Lord with you, asking Him who watches over even the smallest matters of our homes to show His faithful care. It is a good and wise thing to bring temporal matters to Him, for trusting God in temporal things is true wisdom. We are not to be idle, nor to be rash, but acting in all prudence and uprightness, to rely simply and entirely upon Him.
We trust in the living God, not a distant or forgetful power, but a God with a great warm loving heart, a thinking God, an active God, a working personal God who comes into the midst of this world and does not leave it to go on by itself. He knows your need for shelter and repair, and He hears when His children cry to Him in such practical distress. While you wait, cast your care upon Him and set all your confidence upon the Almighty, where alone there is power to help. Trust Him as you feel your need, and you shall find Him faithful.
Let us pray together. Our gracious Father, we thank You that we may come to Your throne through Jesus Christ Your Son, who alone is our Saviour. We ask You to incline the heart of the workman who has given his word, that he would come in good time and fulfill what he has promised with honesty and skill. Keep him from adding to the price or dealing unjustly, and grant that the work on these gables may be done well and soon, for Your glory and for the good of this household. Guard the home from further harm, provide what is needed, and give peace and patience while waiting upon Your provision. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
