We join with you in prayer for the sale of your home and for God to clearly lead you into your next chapter, and we understand the discouragement that can come after three months on the market and lowering the price.
We are reminded that our times and our dwellings are in His hands and we can trust Him to provide at the right time and in the right way. We commit your way to Yahweh and trust also in him, and he will do this, Psalm 37:5. We are called to trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight, Proverbs 3:5-6. We take comfort that for I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future, Jeremiah 29:11, and that we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose, Romans 8:28.
We also want to gently share with you that we come to the Father only through Jesus Christ. You asked for prayer and for blessing, but did not mention His name, and it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God and receive His blessings. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6. 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, Acts 4:12. It is through faith in Jesus, His death for our sins and His resurrection, that we are reconciled to God and can confidently bring our requests before Him. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your trust in Him as Lord and Savior and to pray in His name.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ and lift up this home and this family to You. You know their need and their desire to move forward, and You know the right buyer for this home. We ask that You would bring the one You have appointed, and if it is Your will, we ask that You would bring that buyer to the open house this weekend. We pray for Your peace to guard their hearts against anxiety and disappointment while they wait, and for wisdom as they steward what You have given them. Lord, we ask that You supply every need according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:19, and that You would help them to seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well, Matthew 6:33. Let this sale be for Your glory and for their good, and let their next chapter be led clearly by Your hand. We ask for a huge blessing upon them, not just in a quick sale, but in knowing Your presence and provision more deeply through this process. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue to commit this home to the Lord each day, to rest in His perfect timing which is often not our own, and to trust that He is working even when we do not see it. He sees your faithfulness and He cares for every detail of your life.
