We are grateful for the opportunity to stand with you in prayer regarding your daughter's housing needs. We understand that she is looking for a house-sitting opportunity from April 27 to May 3 and that this has become a part of her lifestyle due to financial constraints. Firstly, we want to address the importance of trusting in God's plan and provisions. It is wonderful that you have hope in God's plan, the only plan that matters, the only plan that is certain to prosper. We are reminded of the words of Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans that I have in mind for you, says Yahweh, plans of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end."
However, we want to encourage your daughter to trust in God's provision and not rely solely on house-sitting as a long-term solution. While God can use this situation for good, it is important to seek God's will and guidance for a stable and sustainable living situation. We pray that God will open doors for her to have a place to call her own, a place where she can find rest and peace, and also be a blessing to others.
Let us pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister and her daughter and her housing needs. Lord, You know the situation they are facing, and You have a plan and a purpose for their lives. We ask that You would guide her steps and open the right doors for her to have a stable and affordable place to live. We pray that You would provide for all her needs according to Your riches in glory. Help her as she waits for the house-sitting opportunity and to trust in You completely. Give her peace and fill her heart with joy and hope as she looks to You for her provision.
We also pray that You would guide her and her mother to pray together in Jesus name. Lord, help them to know and understand that You are the source of all blessings, and only in a continuing and growing relationship with Jesus is there hope. Jesus is the only way to You and there is no other name under heaven whereby man can be saved. We ask that Your will be done in their lives, and that You would be glorified in this situation. We pray for their faith to be strengthened and for them to grow closer to You during this time. Help them see Your hand at work in their lives and to trust in You more and more.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
In the meantime, we encourage both of you to continue to trust in God's provision and to seek His will for her life.
