Thank you for bringing this request before us. We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's provision and support for the completion of His Church building.
Firstly, we acknowledge the importance of Jesus Christ in our prayers. It is by His name that we have access to God the Father, and it is by His name that we are saved and is the only way to be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved.
We remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:7-8 WEB: Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. It is God who supplies all our needs. In Philippians 4:19 we are assured by in Christ Jesus who took on the nature of a servant and became obedient to death, even death on a cross, that my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
As a group we will pray for God's provision and support for the completion of His Church building. In Exodus 35: 30-36:7 WEB, Moses told the Israelites that God had chosen Bezalel and Oholiab to construct the Tabernacle, and God had filled them with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge, and with all kinds of skills, to make artistic designs for work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood. God also provided them with the ability to teach others. The Tabernacle was a place of worship and a symbol of God's presence among His people. Similarly, the Church building is a place of worship and a symbol of God's presence among His people today.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your beloved Son. We thank You for Your faithfulness and for the promise that You will supply all our needs according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Lord we approach Your throne with boldness and ask that You provide the necessary provisions and support for the completion of Your Church building. We pray that You raise up individuals with the skills and abilities needed to complete the work. We also ask that You for the needed financial resources to complete this project. We know Your word says in Ephesians 3:20 WEB: Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, We declare this in our prayer. We pray for the success of this building project, and we ask that it be a beacon of light and hope in the community, drawing many to You. We ask this all in Jesus' name.
Amen.
Be encouraged, stand firm in your faith, and trust in God's provision.
