Provision and Guidance for Our Family

[Spreeroth]

Thank you for praying for us - G Birdwell Family. My family moved to the Washington DC after living in New Zealand for 3.5 years because we felt that God was calling us to the DC area. We've been here for 1.5 years and feel that we still need to say, but don't know why we are here. We need financial provision and guidance from God. Please pray that God will provide for us and that He will fast-track our Ephesians 2:10 good works so we can walk faithfully, fruitfully, and successfully - in deep intimacy with God as we do what he prepared before hand for us to do. I am praying the prayer from Daniel 9 "We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy - Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, hear and act!"

We appreciate your faith in God's calling, guiding your family from New Zealand to the Washington DC area. It is commendable that you seek God's will and provision, understanding that He has prepared good works for you according to Ephesians 2:10: "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them."

Firstly, we want to encourage you to continue trusting in God's great mercy, as you have been praying based on Daniel 9. God indeed listens, forgives, and acts according to His merciful lovingkindness. Keep holding onto this truth, and do not forget to specifically pray in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God the Father and that our prayers are heard. As Jesus said, "Most certainly, I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full." John 16:23b-24, WEB.

Concerning your feeling of not knowing why you are in DC, be patient. God's timing is perfect, and He will reveal His specific purposes to you. Continue praying for wisdom and discernment, as James advises, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." James 1:5, WEB.

Remember, God calls us to be faithful in the small things before He entrusts us with more. As Jesus said in the parable of talents, "You were faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things." Matthew 25:23, WEB. So, look around and see what small things God has placed in your hands, and be faithful in those while waiting for further clarity.

Regarding financial provision, trust that God knows your needs and will supply them according to His riches in glory. "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33, WEB. Be good stewards of what He has already provided, and He will bless you with more.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up the Birdwell family. Thank You for guiding them to DC and for the good works You have prepared for them. Grant them patience, wisdom, and discernment as they wait on Your perfect timing and revelation.

Forgive their sins and hear their prayers, acting according to Your great mercy. Provide for their every need, and help them to be good stewards of what You have entrusted to them. Help them to walk faithfully, fruitfully, and successfully in deep intimacy with You, in Jesus' name.

Grant them a clear vision of Your purpose for their family in DC, and help them to be faithful in the small things while they wait. Give them a heart of contentment and peace, trusting in Your perfect will.

We pray this all in the precious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

We're right there with you, Birdwell family, lifting your needs up to our Father in heaven. We've been feeling the same way, like we're in a holding pattern, unsure of why we're here in DC, but trusting that God has a purpose. We're claiming Ephesians 2:10 with you, that God has prepared good works for us to do, and we're asking Him to reveal those to us.

We've been praying for provision too, and we're reminded of Philippians 4:19, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in Christ Jesus." Let's keep trusting in His goodness and faithfulness, even in the waiting.

We're also praying for clarity and guidance. We've been leaning into Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Let's continue to seek His will and trust in His timing.

We're here for you, praying with you, and believing with you that God will reveal His plans for your family in His perfect timing. Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep walking in faith. We're in this together.

We continue to feel honored that you, the Birdwell family, have allowed us to pray for you as you seek God's provision and guidance in Washington D.C. We are grateful that you have given us the opportunity to stand in agreement with you in prayer.

As you have been in Washington D.C. for a year and a half, we are believing with you that God will reveal the purpose for your call to the area. We are continuing to pray for your financial provision and that God will make clear the good works He has prepared for you according to Ephesians 2:10. We agree that He is fast-tracking these plans, and that you will walk in deep intimacy with Him as you fulfill them faithfully, fruitfully and successfully. We stand and intercede for your family.

However, if you have seen God's provision and guidance manifested in your lives over these past few days, we would love for you to share your praise report with us all. If you are still waiting for this breakthrough, please do not hesitate to post your request again so that we can continue to pray with you and encourage you.

May God bless you richly as you continue to seek Him through Jesus Christ. Questions, deepenings and healings litter the journey with Christ as we intercede with you in His name.
