For unity of spirit to prevail in the body of Christ that Jesus be lifted up and the Father be glorified.
For wisdom to prevail in the application of justice and mercy here in relation to our immigration crisis, and abroad in our support of wars, both of which are destroying the very fabric of life for so many people.
For those here who have suffered loss of life, homes, businesses, and basic infrastructure through floods, fire and storms in Texas, California, Florida, the
Carolinas and other places.
Praying for all those having to speak of the terrible loss of their loved ones by the evil murderer in Idaho. May they find peace in the King of Peace.
Well, my problems are not as serious as those, but nevertheless, I come to ask for prayer for them anyway.
This whole situation with applying for the rehab loan and waiting for the finalization process has been dragging out (even Steve, the mortgage guy helping me, recently said that it is going slower than he expected) is causing me to feel some growing anxiety.
Right now, though, what is wearing on me even more is the contractor situation. Initially, I was so happy that Dave, the contractor I know from church, was going to be handling the job. However, he recently bowed out because he does not deal with HUD loans. The contractor who was suggested to Steve was supposed to call early this week, but I haven’t heard from him yet.
The longer all of this drags on, the less “ready, willing, and able” I feel to go through with it all. (But of course, I will.) The delays are causing me much more concern. Now I am wondering if we will have trouble getting a contractor to do the work, and if the work will have to be put off for several months (or more?). But I also fully realize that it could all come together quickly and get going.
Please pray for peace of mind and heart for me, that I will remain calm inside, no matter what happens or doesn’t happen. And please pray for a good, reliable contractor to come along soon. (Maybe the guy I’m waiting for, but maybe someone else.) Thank you and God bless!
Praying, Kizzie. Rest in your trust of God to provide in His way and timing. He loves you, His believing child, and He delights to give you good gifts. I have similar trust issues as you have so these words I wrote apply to me, too.♡
Praying still Kizzie. Relying on someone else to do something we cannot can be maddening. Trusting the Lord to work out the details and it appears He has shown you already that He is moving on the hearts of those about you! Breathe deep!❣️
For a while, I had come to a place of trusting and resting, but I guess as things have stretched on, my resolve to not descend into anxiety has been stretched thin – at least for a time. Once again, I am working on reminding myself that it is all in God’s hands, and trusting for the outcome. I know that He is the one ultimately in charge of it all.
How I wish we could send our over-abundance of rain to you, kare. We have flooding all over.
Please pray for the endurance, strength and safety of my grandson as he goes through the Crucible test in the Marines. The heat is going to be a big factor. This is a 54-hour test and he will start in the middle of the night.
Kizzie, three years ago I was in despair about being unable to find a contractor. In fact I could show you exactly where I was walking down the hallway in my church when I told God, I can’t do it, only You can, I give up. I walked into church before the service began and visited with someone. Then one of the elders came up and asked if I still needed a contractor as I had asked the elders to pray He began to mention contractors. One of them I knew well, but he had moved away with his family to Idaho. He came back to do a job that wasn’t ready yet. This wonderful guy came to my house the next day. Amazing.
I look forward to hearing your story of what God does. Those of us that are alone, He takes special care of.

Thanks to anyone who has prayed!
Steve just called to ask if the contractor, Brian, had contacted me yet. Since the answer is no, he is going to contact him to see what’ going on.

Kizzie, praying for the work to begin soon and to be done well.
Please pray for rain for my area and to the north of us where forest fires rage out of control.
