We join you in prayer for this very practical and pressing need in your house, and we thank God with you for the progress of lukewarm water today after two weeks without hot water. We know how difficult it is to be without this basic provision, especially when you are still feeling cold after showering and also dealing with a mild flu, and we bring all of these concerns before our Father together in Jesus' name.
We are thankful you asked in Jesus' name, for it is through Him we have access to the Father and it is in His name our prayers are heard. As it is written, Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. John 14:13
We pray together for you now. Father in heaven, we thank You for Your goodness and for the lukewarm water You have provided today, for every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights. James 1:17 We ask in the name of Jesus that You would complete the repairs in this house swiftly and well. We pray for the workers and for those responsible for the repairs, that You would give them skill and diligence to restore hot water fully and to make it clean and safe, and to remove the cause of the black particles coming from the bath tap. We ask that the water would soon run hot and clear again, for Your Word says My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 and 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 also lift up your health to the Lord, asking for healing from this mild flu and for warmth and comfort in your body. We pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers. 3 John 1:2 We ask the Lord who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases. Psalm 103:3 to touch your body, strengthen your immune system, and grant you rest and recovery. Give peace in this waiting time and remind your heart that My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:2
We encourage you to continue to give thanks even in this trial, as we are taught In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Thank Him for the small improvement today and trust Him for the full restoration. While you wait, we encourage you to take practical steps as well, to let the tap run for a time to help flush the system, to avoid drinking or cooking with the discolored hot water until it is clear, to use boiled or bottled water if needed, and to follow up with the landlord or repair workers about the particles and the temperature, asking them to check the heater and pipes. Take care of yourself with rest, fluids, and warmth as you recover from the flu, and cast all your worries on Him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
We will continue to pray with you that your house will soon have hot and clean water again, that you will be warm and well, and that you will see God's faithful provision in this everyday need. We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
