We join you in prayer and thank God with you for the progress of lukewarm water after two weeks without hot water, and we understand how difficult and discouraging this has been, especially while you are feeling cold after showering and dealing with a mild flu, headache and dermatitis and skin irritation.
We know our Father cares about even these daily, practical needs and about your health and comfort. Jesus taught us If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him Matthew 7:11. We take comfort that My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19, and that He is our healer who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases Psalm 103:2-3.
We pray together now in Jesus' name. Father, we thank You that You have already provided lukewarm water and we ask You to complete the repairs in this house quickly and fully. We ask that You would give wisdom and diligence to those doing the work, that the system would be properly flushed and cleansed, that the black particles in the hot water from the bath tap would be removed, and that clean, hot water would flow again soon for washing and bathing and daily needs. Provide warmth and comfort, and protect this household from further cold and from any harm from unclean water.
We also lift up this mild flu, headache and the dermatitis and skin irritation. Lord, touch this body with Your healing hand, ease the headache, calm the irritation, restore the skin, and bring strength and rest. Your word says But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh Jeremiah 30:17, and we ask for that restoration now. Grant peaceful sleep, warmth after bathing, and relief from being cold, and help this flu to pass quickly without complication.
We encourage you to continue to trust Him while you wait, and also to take practical steps as you are able. Avoid bathing in or ingesting water that is discolored or has particles until it is declared safe, let the tap run as advised by those repairing it to help clear the system, keep the landlord or plumber informed that particles remain, and keep yourself warm and hydrated and rested while you have flu-like symptoms. If the skin irritation worsens or the headache and flu linger, please seek care from a trusted medical provider, for God often brings healing through those means as well.
We thank You, Father, that we can come to You only through Jesus, and we are grateful you asked in Jesus' name, for there is no other name by which we are saved and by which we have access to Your throne of grace. We trust You to answer according to Your perfect will and timing, to provide clean hot water again very soon, and to bring complete healing and comfort. We pray all of this in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
