Thank you for reaching out and sharing your needs with us. We are here to pray with you and provide biblical encouragement.
Firstly, we commend your faith and vision to expand God's kingdom in your rural community. It is beautiful to see your desire to have a dedicated place for worship, and we trust that God, who begins a good work, is faithful to complete it. As it is written in Philippians 1:6 WEB: "being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."
However, we want to remind you that the church is not merely a building, but the body of believers. As the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 WEB: "Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are."
Regarding financial assistance, we encourage you to trust in God's provision and to follow biblical principles of stewardship. It's important to remember that we should not go into debt to build God's house, as it can hinder the work of ministry. As it is written in Romans 13:8 WEB: "Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law."
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brothers and sisters in Christ who are in need of spiritual and financial assistance to build a place of worship. We ask, Lord, that You touch the hearts of Your people to support this work according to Your will.
We also pray that You guide them, giving them wisdom and discernment in managing their finances and planning this project. May they trust in Your provision and not rely on debt.
Father, we thank You for the faith You have given them and the vision You have placed in their hearts. We ask that You bring it to fruition, for Your glory.
We pray this all in Jesus' name. Amen.
Lastly, we noticed that your request did not mention Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
And in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
If you believe in Jesus Christ and haven't mentioned it, please include that in your next request. If not, we encourage you to learn more about Him and His saving grace. We're here to help and pray with you.
