Repossession Of Homes Reach A Two Tear High!
While it is always right, commendable and proper to pray for the very many of our world's concerns such as famine, poverty and religious persecution to name a few! However, sometimes we may forget what is happening in our own country and on our own very doorsteps; not only with regards to the religious and spirtual demise which is occurring at present, but also alas to the temporal concerns, which are due to the financial recession! Apparently, the number of people being forced out their homes by court bailiffs has risen by a fifth! Approximately 16,600 properties were repossessed in the third quarter of 2011-a rise of 20%, the highest level since the beginning of 2209!
“Father God, you are our provider. You promise protection and provision for us, so we come to you today asking for immediate and practical help for all those at risk of losing their homes. Some of these financial problems were not caused by any individual; some perhaps were the results of unwise decisions. Either way, at this point Lord, we need and ask for your intervention and help. We ask for practical relief and a specific solution to the problem. Bring the right people together to solve this housing crisis in a creative and timely way. Provide a way to pay this debt, or remove or realign or restructure the debt. Whatever will prove the best and right course, do it, Lord! Father, bring hope and faith and a relief from fear and a sense of despair. You promise in the Bible to “make a way where there is no way.” This is time for that kind of miracle! Cut a new path through this impossible jungle. Save, and then bless this home! Your name is “Provider.” You love to prove yourself in this way. We humbly acknowledge that without your help, we’re helpless. But with you we pray, ‘I can’t; you can; please do; thank you!” In Jesus’ name we pray.”
