We understand that your church is in need of a new roof both in the dining hall and on the outside. We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's provision and guidance in this matter.
Firstly, we remember God's promise 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. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened." We encourage you to continue asking, seeking, and knocking, trusting that God will provide.
However, we also recall 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 WEB: "Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver." As you seek God's provision, remember to encourage your congregation to give cheerfully, trusting that God will multiply their gifts.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brothers and sisters in Christ who are in need of a new roof for their church. We ask, Father, that You would provide the funds necessary to complete this project. Stir up the hearts of Your people to give generously and cheerfully, trusting that You will supply all their needs according to Your riches in glory.
Guide the church leaders, Father, as they plan and coordinate this effort. Give them wisdom and discernment, and help them to steward Your resources well. Protect the workers as they complete the task, and let this new roof be a testament to Your faithfulness and provision.
Lastly, Father, we pray for those who may not know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, who are involved with this church, or this project. It is only by Jesus we have access to you. We pray that through this project and through the people involved, you will open their eyes to understand that Jesus is the way to you, and the only one that can save us.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As you move forward with this project, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, trusting that He will provide all you need.
