Prayer for Vineyard House 

Scripture Reading:
I Chronicles 16:8-16, Nehemiah 3

Meditate:
The God of heaven Himself will help us succeed; therefore, we will arise and build!  We will trust His Word and believe in the Sovereign Lord who always keeps His promises.  Nehemiah 2:20

Father, we thank You for Your faithful love for us that never ends and Your mercy which never ceases.  They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.  

Lord, You are God.  You created the heavens and earth and put everything in place. You made the world to be lived in, not to be a place of empty chaos.  You are the Lord and there is no other.  You publicly proclaim bold promises; You do not whisper obscurities in dark corners.   We thank You for giving our leaders the vision to build.  Thank You for providing the resources for us to build.  Thank You, Father, for being a wall of fire and protection around our congregation, families and those involved in the restoration of this building.

Father, we pray Your Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven in and through Vineyard House.  We believe that You will align our thoughts to Your will, so that the plans for this project may be established and succeed.  

Your Word, Father, declares that for lack of advice, plans go wrong; but with many advisers there is success.  Therefore, we will seek the counsel of the godly as we proceed with this project.  

We declare that we will write the vision for this new project plainly so that those involved can run and carry the correct message to others.  Father, we ask You to call forth competent and skilled labourers for this project, just as You called forth the artisans for the building of the tabernacle.  We declare that they will be filled with the Spirit of wisdom, understanding and knowledge in all manner of workmanship.  

We proclaim that all involved in this project will focus their attention and efforts so that they can successfully complete their assignments and bring glory and honour to Your Name.  Father, we are confident that this project will be completed, because You have begun this good work.  

Lord, we commit to praying without ceasing for Vineyard House.

Father, please bless this building project to provide activities for our Church community and the people in the neighbourhood which will promote discipleship, faith, growth, development, relaxation and enjoyment. We pray that Vineyard House will be a venue where people encounter Jesus, are filled with the Holy Spirit and choose to follow you. 

Please provide all the wisdom, finances, and resources that we will need to build a state-of-the-art community space.  We ask You to provide adequate funding, competent professionals, and skilled labourers for the construction.  Please give us favour with the surrounding communities and the council.  

Father, stir up the faith in us so that we will walk by faith and not by sight and so that we will gladly and sacrificially give to this vision.

Father, please forgive us for questioning the vision.  Forgive us for when we have had loose lips and or spoken idle words against this project.  Forgive us Lord for not coming together as a church body to pray concerning Vineyard House.  Please forgive us for all our sins.  Father, remind us of those we need to forgive and we will be quick to forgive.

As a Church family, please do not lead us to temptation; but deliver us from evil.

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty.  Everything in the heavens and on earth is Yours and this is Your Kingdom.  We adore You as the One who is over all things. 

In Jesus’ Name, 

Amen.
