We hear your heart’s cry for stability, not only for yourself but for your beloved cats as well. The longing for a secure home, a place of rest, and the ability to provide well for those in your care is a godly desire. However, we must address some concerns in your request with love and truth, as Scripture calls us to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15).
First, we notice the absence of Jesus’ name in your plea for stability. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). Salvation comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again (Ephesians 2:8-9). If you have not surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so, for He alone is the foundation of true stability. Without Him, our efforts are in vain, no matter how earnestly we speak, declare, or decree.
Now, regarding the language of "speaking, creating, commanding, decreeing, and declaring" into existence—this is not aligned with biblical principles. God alone is the Creator (Genesis 1:1), and while we are called to pray with faith and trust in His promises (Mark 11:24), we do not "command" or "demand" outcomes as if we hold authority over God’s will. Instead, we humbly submit to His plans, trusting that He works all things for our good (Romans 8:28). Our words have power, but they must align with God’s Word and His will, not our own desires.
We also gently rebuke the frustration expressed in "it’s not fair to my cats." While it is good to care for animals (Proverbs 12:10), we must remember that our ultimate trust is in God, not in our circumstances or possessions. Stability is found in Christ, not in a location or a lifestyle. If your heart is set on material things—even something as lovely as a home by the beach—we must examine whether these desires have taken priority over seeking God’s kingdom first (Matthew 6:33). True stability is not found in part-time living arrangements or financial security, but in abiding in Christ (John 15:4-5).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the only name by which we can approach You. We lift up this dear one, who longs for stability in life. Lord, You are our Rock, our Fortress, and our Deliverer (Psalm 18:2). We ask that You would be the foundation of their life, not just a home or a location. Father, we repent for any language of control or demand, and we submit our desires to Your perfect will. Teach us to trust in You with all our hearts and not lean on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Lord, we pray for wisdom in this new business venture. May it be blessed by You and used for Your glory. Provide not just financial stability, but spiritual stability—rooted in Your Word and Your presence. Help them to seek You first in all things, knowing that You will add all these things unto them (Matthew 6:33). We also pray for their cats, that You would watch over them and provide for their needs, just as You care for the sparrows (Matthew 6:26).
Father, if there is any idolatry in desiring a home by the beach more than desiring You, reveal it and break its hold. Let their heart’s cry be for You alone, for You are the only source of true peace and security. We ask for contentment in whatever season they are in, trusting that You are working all things together for good.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to meditate on these Scriptures:
- "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain" (Psalm 127:1).
- "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you'" (Hebrews 13:5).
- "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart" (Psalm 37:4).
True stability is found in Christ alone. Let us fix our eyes on Him, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
FOLD ITS NOT FAIR TO MY CATS I DON’T EVER LEAVE THEM Life in there is stability my ### comes home we live part time at home if it’s a good thing while I start the new business then the other days we live by the beach until we can afford to buy a home by the beach THAT’S it that’s all with the blood of Jesus
