We hear your deep longing for a new home, not just for yourself but also for your beloved cats. It’s clear this need weighs heavily on your heart, and we stand with you in seeking God’s provision and guidance. While we understand the urgency in your words, we want to gently remind you that our prayers are not about commanding, demanding, or decreeing outcomes as if we control God’s will. Instead, we humbly come before Him in faith, trusting in His perfect timing and wisdom.
First, let’s address the foundation of our prayers. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* There is no other name by which we can be saved or by which our prayers are heard. If you have not already, we encourage you to place your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, for it is through Him that we find true hope, peace, and provision.
Now, let’s lift your request to the Lord together. Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of faith, asking for Your provision in finding a new home for this dear one and their cats. Lord, You know the desires of their heart, and You care deeply about every detail of their life. We ask that You open doors that no one can shut and provide a place that is safe, secure, and filled with Your peace. If it is Your will, let this home be a place where they can keep their cats, for You know the love they have for these creatures You’ve entrusted to their care. Father, we trust in Your promise from Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* We ask that You meet this need in a way that brings glory to Your name and draws this dear one closer to You.
We also want to encourage you to trust in God’s timing. It can be so hard to wait when we feel desperate, but remember that God’s delays are not His denials. Psalm 37:5 reminds us, *"Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this."* Keep seeking Him, and He will direct your steps. If you haven’t already, consider reaching out to your local church or Christian community for support. Sometimes God provides through the hands and hearts of His people.
Lastly, we want to gently rebuke any spirit of anxiety or fear that may be trying to take hold of your heart. The enemy would love for you to feel hopeless, but God has not given us a spirit of fear. Instead, He has given us a spirit of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). Stand firm in your faith, knowing that God is your provider and that He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
Continue to seek the Lord in prayer and in His Word. Let your heart be at peace, knowing that He hears you and that He is working on your behalf. We will continue to stand with you in prayer, trusting that God will move in this situation according to His perfect will.
