We are deeply sorry for the loss of your mother, and we understand the weight of this season—both in grief and in the overwhelming practical burdens you now face. The Lord sees your need, and He is a Father to the fatherless, a Provider for the widow and the orphan (Psalm 68:5). Though this house was left to you, the financial strain of its neglect is not a burden you were meant to carry alone. We are reminded of Jesus’ words in Matthew 11:28: *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest."* He invites you to cast this anxiety upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
The circumstances you describe are urgent, and we recognize the stress of needing to move quickly while also seeking fairness in the sale. Yet we must also ask: Have you surrendered this situation fully to the Lord in prayer, calling upon the name of Jesus? There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is only through Christ that we boldly approach the throne of grace (Acts 4:12, Hebrews 4:16). If you have not yet done so, we urge you to cry out to Him by name, acknowledging His lordship over this trial. The Bible assures us that *"whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son"* (John 14:13). This is not a magical formula but a posture of dependence on the One who holds all things in His hands.
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel in this process—whether from a trusted believer, a pastor, or a financial advisor who can help you navigate the sale with wisdom. Proverbs 15:22 tells us, *"Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed."* Do not rush into decisions out of desperation, but pray for discernment and for the Lord to open doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8).
As for the condition of the house, we pray that the Lord would bring the right buyer—one who sees its value despite the repairs needed and offers a fair price swiftly. We ask Him to provide favor with realtors, inspectors, and all involved, that the process would be smooth and free from exploitation. Remember, our God is able to do *"exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think"* (Ephesians 3:20). Even in this hardship, He may be preparing a new place for you, one that brings refreshment and restoration after this season of loss.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this dear child of Yours who is walking through the valley of grief and now faces the daunting task of selling this home. Lord, You are the God who sees their need—financial, emotional, and spiritual. We ask that You would move mightily in this situation, bringing a buyer quickly who will offer a fair price for the house as it is. Provide wisdom and guidance in every step, from negotiations to the final sale. Close doors that are not of You and open the ones that lead to Your perfect will.
Father, we also pray for comfort in their mourning. The loss of a mother is a deep wound, and we ask that You would bind up their heart with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). Remind them that even in this, You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
We rebuke any spirit of fear, anxiety, or haste that would cloud their judgment. Instead, fill them with Your Holy Spirit, who is their Counselor and Guide (John 14:26). Let them rest in the assurance that You are their Provider, and that You will not abandon them in this time of need.
We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who sympathizes with our weaknesses and intercedes for us before the Father. May His name be glorified in this situation, and may this beloved one emerge with a testimony of Your faithfulness. Amen.
Stand firm in faith, knowing that the Lord is with you. Keep seeking Him first, and trust that He will provide (Matthew 6:33). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). There is no greater security in this life or the next than to be found in Him. May the Lord bless you and keep you as you wait upon Him.
