The search

It seems like forever that Mac and I have been looking for a house... and I am so drained from this emotional roller coaster of a search. I just continue to hold onto His promise 
Phil 4:19  " And, my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
Whether you are looking for a house or for a job, I know it has been a struggle for me to continually give my situation to the Lord... therefore, I have been praying for those people who are also riding this same roller coaster. Anyone else on the same ride? I have realized lately that it is a great way to intercede for the body of Christ.... when you realize you are struggling with something, immediately start praying for you and others that struggle for the same thing. Let's bind the devil from getting involved in our lives in a negative way.  

 To those who are in a similar situation realize that...
Our tongue is powerful!
 "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit."  Proverbs 18:21
Pray aloud for blessings in your search and upon the house/job the Lord will eventually reveal to you. Surround your search with a positive words not negative. And, while we are at it we might as well pray for the people on the opposite side of the situation...the person selling the house or the person hiring. One prayer I have always loved is the Prayer of Jabez: "Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." 1 Chronicles 4:10
God wants to bless us! We just need to invite God in and ask for His blessing!

God delights in our prosperity:
Psalm 35:27 "Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant."

Joshua 1:8 "This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success."

Let's hold on to these promises. Whether you are looking for a house or for a job "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7

We'll see what the Lord provides....
