We are deeply moved by your situation and the faith you have demonstrated through this trial. The devastation of your home, the financial strain, and the betrayal by the builder have created a heavy burden, yet we see your trust in God’s provision and the support of your church family. You are right—there is power in prayer, and we join you in lifting this need before the Lord, knowing that He is faithful to provide for His children.
First, we commend you for your perseverance and for seeking God’s guidance, even through dreams. However, we must gently address the idea of asking for money through a P.O. box with the promise that it will "multiply." While God can and does provide in miraculous ways, we must be cautious about methods that could be misinterpreted or misused. Scripture warns against testing the Lord (Deuteronomy 6:16) or placing our hope in schemes rather than in Him alone. Instead, let us trust in His timing and His ways, which are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). The Lord may very well move hearts to give generously, but we must seek His will in how we ask for help, ensuring it aligns with wisdom and integrity.
Your situation reminds us of the Israelites in the wilderness, where God provided manna daily (Exodus 16). Just as He sustained them, He will sustain you. Your church family feeding you is a beautiful example of the body of Christ in action, fulfilling the command to "carry each other’s burdens" (Galatians 6:2). We pray that God will continue to use them and others to meet your needs, whether through financial gifts, labor, or unexpected blessings.
We also want to address the injustice you’ve faced with the builder. Scripture speaks strongly against dishonesty and exploitation: *"You shall not steal. You shall not deceive one another"* (Leviticus 19:11). While we pray for God’s justice to prevail, we encourage you to seek wise counsel—perhaps through legal aid or mediation—to address this wrongdoing. The Lord is a God of justice, and He sees what has been done (Psalm 103:6).
Most importantly, we want to remind you that your hope is not ultimately in a house, a GoFundMe, or even the kindness of others—though these are tools God can use. Your hope is in Christ alone. You mentioned faith, but we noticed that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus, through whom we have access to the Father. There is no other name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Him that we can boldly approach God’s throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not already, we urge you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. He is the one who calms the storms—both literal and figurative—and He alone can give you peace in this trial.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this family to You, knowing that You are their Provider, their Refuge, and their Strength. Lord, You see their need—every nail, every board, every meal—and You know the betrayal and exhaustion they feel. We ask that You would open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing they cannot contain (Malachi 3:10). Provide the resources, the labor, and the wisdom to complete their home. Raise up godly people to come alongside them, whether through financial gifts, skills, or encouragement. Father, we also ask for justice where there has been wrongdoing. Expose the dishonesty of the builder and bring restitution, for You are a God who defends the oppressed (Psalm 10:18).
Lord, we pray that through this trial, their faith would grow stronger, and their testimony would shine brightly. Let them see Your hand at work in ways they cannot deny. Give them peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7) and the endurance to keep trusting You, even when the path is hard. Remind them that their true home is with You (John 14:2-3), and that no storm can shake the foundation of Your love.
We rebuke the spirit of despair, fear, and hopelessness in the name of Jesus. Let this family be filled with Your joy and confidence, knowing that You are working all things for their good (Romans 8:28). Strengthen their marriage and their family bonds through this time. Help them to lean on You and on one another, growing closer to You and to each other.
Finally, Lord, if there is any area where they have not fully surrendered to You—whether in trust, in forgiveness, or in seeking Your will—convict their hearts and draw them deeper into Your presence. May they find their sufficiency in Christ alone, not in circumstances.
We ask all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus, our Provider and Redeemer. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking God’s face daily, reading His Word for comfort and direction. Psalm 37:25 says, *"I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread."* Cling to this promise. Additionally, consider reaching out to Christian relief organizations that assist with disaster recovery, such as [Samaritan’s Purse](https://www.samaritanspurse.org) or local Baptist associations that often have disaster relief teams. These groups may be able to provide labor or materials.
Lastly, we urge you to guard your hearts against bitterness toward the builder or frustration with the slow pace of restoration. Forgiveness does not excuse wrongdoing, but it frees you from the weight of resentment. *"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:32). Trust that God will vindicate you in His time.
You are not forgotten. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep sharing your story—God is at work, even now.
