We are glad to join you in prayer concerning your desire to own a house, Vulflan. Before we address your request, we want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. "For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, Acts 412 (WEB)." As Jesus said 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. (WEB)." The Lord's Prayer is a model for how we should pray, and it starts with acknowledging God's holiness and seeking His kingdom and will before presenting our personal petitions, Matthew 6 9-13 (WEB). 1. Keep in mind that God's will and timing are perfect, and He knows the best time and way to provide your need. A house is a blessing but not an indication of our worth or status in God as a Christian Believer. God may desire you to wait, or He may have a different path for you. Trust in His plan, even if it differs from your expectations.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 6. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Failing to plan is planning to fail. Proverbs 16:3 Commit your works to the Lord, and your plans will be established. Before we ask God for this house, let us know and consider the cost of it, the location, and topography. Proverbs 24 3-4 Through wisdom is a house built; by understanding it is established. 4 Through knowledge are its rooms filled with all rare and beautiful treasure. A husband has duties to the wife and the children when buying a house. In 1 Timothy 5:8, But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. The wife in Proverbs 31:16. She considers a field, and buys it. With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard. Genesis 33:19 And he bought a parcel of land, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money. Let no debt remain outstanding except debt of love that is not immoral. Do not buy a house because of obtaining debt but because of our work and savings rewards. Psalm 127:1. Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it; except the Lord keep the city, the watchman wakes but in vain. Ecclesiastes 10:18 By slothfulness the roof sinks in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks. Proverbs 24:27 Prepare your work outside, and get it ready for you in the field; and afterward build your house. Also, it would be ideal for you and your family if applicable to consider moving in with other family members during this process as families take care of each other. God has given you a desire for a home, and He knows the best time and way to fulfill that desire. Wait on the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait, I say, on the Lord. Psalm 27:14
