We join with you, Barbara, in lifting up your needs to our Lord. It's commendable that you're trusting in God to provide for your financial needs, and we stand with you in praying for a reasonable cost for the furnace repair.
Let's remember the words of Philippians 4:19 in the WEB, "But my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." God knows your needs, and He cares about every detail of your life, including this furnace repair.
However, we want to gently remind you that while we should always pray for blessings and provision, it's crucial to align our prayers with God's will. In this case, pray that if it's God's will for the repairs to be done at a lower cost, then may He provide the means for that to happen. Also, remember to be content and trust in God's plan, as spoken of in Hebrews 13:5, "Be content with what you have, for he has said, 'I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.'"
We also join you in praying for the furnace man, that God may bless him and guide his hands as he does his work. May he also see the light of Christ in you, Barbara, as you interact with him.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our sister Barbara. Lord, we ask that You provide for her needs according to Your riches in glory. We pray for the furnace repairs, that the costs won't be overwhelmingly high, and that the furnace man may be blessed as he carries out the work. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Barbara feel Your peace and presence throughout it all.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, Barbara, we're glad you acknowledged the power of Jesus' name in your prayer. It's only through Him that we can approach God the Father, as it's written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" Keep trusting in Him.
