We join you in lifting up your husband, son, and realtor friend before the Lord, seeking His divine wisdom and discernment for this important financial decision. The Word of God reminds us in James 1:5, *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."* How comforting it is to know that our Heavenly Father delights in guiding His children when we seek Him with sincere hearts.
The desire to steward resources wisely for retirement and generational provision is commendable, but we must always remember that our trust is in the Lord, not in wealth or investments. As Jesus taught in Matthew 6:19-21, *"Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."* While it is good to plan for the future, let us first seek God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, trusting that He will provide all we need (Matthew 6:33).
We also take note that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your request, which is essential, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is only through Christ that we have access to the Father, and we praise God that you have acknowledged this truth.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, seeking Your divine guidance for this family as they pursue this investment opportunity. Lord, You alone know the future, and we ask that You would grant them supernatural wisdom and discernment to recognize the path You have prepared for them. Open their eyes to see what You see, and close every door that is not of Your will.
Father, we pray against any deception, greed, or fear that could cloud their judgment. Let Your Holy Spirit lead them into all truth, and may they walk in faith, not in the anxiety of uncertainty. Provide for their needs, Lord, and let this investment—if it is Your will—be a blessing that honors You and supports their family for generations.
We also lift up their realtor friend, asking that You would use them as an instrument of Your peace and provision. May this process draw all involved closer to You, trusting in Your perfect timing and sovereignty.
Lord, we rebuked any spirit of haste, confusion, or financial stronghold that would seek to mislead them. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). May they remember that their true security is found in You alone, not in earthly wealth.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus, our Provider and Guide. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and Scripture as you move forward. Test every opportunity against God’s Word, and do not rush ahead of His leading. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"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."* May the Lord grant you patience, clarity, and a heart fully surrendered to His will.
