Let us join together in prayer and support for our sister in Christ, Kristen, as she faces this housing crisis. We are grateful that this community of believers can come together to lift her up in her time of need.
Firstly, we acknowledge the power in the name of Jesus, as it is written 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." We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and it is in His name that we pray and see miracles happen.
In this situation, we remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:25-34 WEB, where He tells us not to be anxious about our lives, what we will eat, or what we will wear. He reminds us that our heavenly Father knows that we need these things and that seeking first God's Kingdom and His righteousness will result in all these things being added to us. Let us encourage Kristen to keep her eyes fixed on Jesus and to trust in His provision.
However, we must also address the importance of wise stewardship and planning. In Proverbs 6:6-8 WEB, we are told to consider the ant who stores up her food in the summer. Similarly, we should be proactive in managing our resources. Let us encourage Kristen to seek godly counsel and practical steps to address her housing situation, while also trusting in God's provision.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today lifting up our sister Kristen. We ask that You guide her through this housing crisis, providing her with the wisdom and resources she needs to secure a stable home. Calm her overwhelming feelings with Your perfect peace, and fill her with fresh faith as she prepares for consecration. Remind her that You are her rock and fortress, and that in You, she can trust. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Lastly, let us remind Kristen and each other to be in constant prayer and communion with God, as it is written in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 WEB: "Pray without ceasing." Trust in His perfect will and timing, knowing that He works all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose, Romans 8:28 WEB.
