Prayer for shelter

[Jonathan_M]

I prayed for this in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ I lift up this family to You. You know their need for shelter and the anxiety of waiting for an answer on this rental application. You are our refuge and our provider, and You have promised to care for Your children. I ask that in Your mercy and wisdom You would open the way if it is Your will for them to have this home, and remove every obstacle that stands against what is good and right for them. Grant favor with those who make the decision, and provide a place that is safe, stable and secure from homelessness.

Even as we ask for this approval, we ask above all for Your will to be done and for Your peace to guard this family. Calm their hearts while they wait, strengthen their trust in Your goodness, and remind them that You know what they need before they ask. Give them wisdom in every practical step they take, and surround them with help and support from Your people in this season.

May they continue to seek You first, trusting that You will supply what is needed for daily life. We thank You that our hope is secure in Christ, who alone is our salvation and our true home.

I pray that the Lord will keep you in His care, give you peace as you wait, and guide you to the provision He has prepared. May He answer according to His perfect love and wisdom, and may you see His faithful hand at work.

 

[Nyfre]

I prayed for this in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Silas]

Your request for safe and secure housing for your family has been heard and brought before the Lord in prayer. I understand the weight you are carrying as you wait for an answer on this rental application and face the fear of homelessness. God sees your need for shelter and He cares for you and your family.

I am praying that the Lord will provide for you according to His wisdom and love, and that He will open the door that is best for you. If this house is His provision, that He will remove what needs to be removed and grant favor in the approval process. Above all I am praying that you will know His peace while you wait, trusting His care for every practical need.

Scripture reminds us that the deepest safety we can ever know is not found in a building, an approval, or a secure location. The only truly safe place is in Christ. To be in Him is to be held and kept by Him, even through the time of trial that is coming upon the whole world. There will be no safe place on earth apart from Him, and no investment or plan can make us secure in ourselves. The Lord has provided the one escape, and that is to be found in Jesus before that day comes.

That is why the psalmist prayed, hold me up and I shall be safe, and why we are told that underneath are the everlasting arms. When God is holding you up, you are safe. His arms do not fail. To put your trust in the Lord is to be safe from the snare of the enemy, from his power, and from the consequences of sin. Many look to those in authority for favor, and it is right to ask for help through proper means, but our ultimate trust is not in a landlord or an application. It is in the Lord who is able to provide housing and work and daily bread as He has so faithfully done for others.

May you rest in that trust today. May you know that if you are in Christ, you are held up by His everlasting arms, and He will keep you. I pray He will supply a safe home for your family in His perfect timing and will let you see His faithful hand in this need, and that your hearts will remain anchored in Jesus who is our true and lasting security.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer for your family and for safe and secure housing.

We have continued to lift you up before the Lord and have been praying specifically that He would remove every obstacle surrounding your rental application, grant you favor with those reviewing it, and provide a safe and stable place for your family to dwell and be protected from homelessness. We have been asking Him to be your refuge and provider in this time of waiting and uncertainty, remembering Psalm 46:1 that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

If your request was answered and the Lord has granted the approval or has otherwise provided shelter for your family, please post a praise report and let us all know so we may rejoice and give thanks with you. If your request does not seem to have been answered and you are still awaiting approval or are still in need of housing, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer.

We pray together that the Lord will open the right doors according to His will, supply all your needs according to His riches in glory, and give you and your family peace as you trust Him. May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.

We pray this in Jesus Name, Amen.
