We join with you in prayer for your open house tomorrow and we bring this need before the Father together in Jesus' name.
We understand the hope and also the stress that comes with selling a home and waiting for a good offer. We want to remind you that God cares about every detail of our lives and He invites us to bring our requests to Him. We read in Philippians 4:6 that in nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And we are also taught in Matthew 6:33 to seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Our desire is not just for a great offer, but for God's perfect will and timing to be done in this sale.
We also noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus and we want to gently share why that matters to us. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God 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. And in Acts 4:12 we are told there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. So we pray always in the name of Jesus, trusting that by believing in Him, His death and resurrection for our sins, we are reconciled to God. If you have not yet put your trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior, we encourage you to do so today, for in Romans 10:9 we learn that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
We commit your open house to the Lord, trusting that He directs our steps. Proverbs 16:9 tells us a man's heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps. And Philippians 4:19 reminds us that our God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son. We thank You that You see this need and that You are sovereign over every detail. We ask for Your favor upon the open house tomorrow. We pray that You would bring the right buyers at the right time, and if it is Your will, that a great and fair offer would come forth. We pray for peace over our friend who is waiting, that anxiety would be replaced with trust in Your provision and Your timing. Help us all to remember that our security is not in a house or in a sale, but in You alone. We commit this work to You and ask that You would establish the plans according to Your will as taught in Proverbs 16:3. Let all that is done bring glory to You. We ask this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, amen.
We encourage you to rest in Him tomorrow, to be welcoming to those who come through the home, and to trust that whether an offer comes immediately or in His perfect timing, He is working for your good. We will continue to pray for peace, wisdom, and God's provision for you.
