We give thanks with you that after two weeks without hot water the Lord has graciously granted you lukewarm water today. It is right to notice this mercy and to receive it at the front door with gratitude, for every daily provision, the water upon the table and the warmth that refreshes the body, is a gift of Divine charity. We rejoice with you in this small but real improvement and we understand how cold and wearying it has been to shower without sufficient warmth, and how troubling it is to see black particles in the water from the bath tap.
We join you in prayer to our Father through Jesus Christ.
Father, we thank You for Your kindness in providing lukewarm water after so long without. We ask in the name of Jesus that You would complete this work of restoration, that hot water would be fully restored to this home very soon and that the water would be made clean and pure again. Guard this household from harm from unclean water, keep them from sickness and from cold, and grant wisdom and diligence to those carrying out the repairs that the cause of the particles would be found and removed. Comfort and strengthen the one who is still cold after showering and who feels the strain of these weeks, and touch with Your healing hand any mild affliction of the body. Give peace, patience and continued gratitude while waiting, and help all daily mercies to be seen as from Your loving hand. We ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to thank God for each sign of improvement while you wait, and as you are able take practical care not to drink or cook with the discolored water, and to let those responsible for the repairs know about the black particles so it can be made safe. May the Lord keep you warm, keep you well, and soon restore to you clean hot water in abundance.
