Isaiah 32:17-18 CSBThe result of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quiet confidence forever. Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, in safe and secure dwellings.
Lord, we pray for the housing challenges facing communities across British Columbia. We consider those trying to purchase their first home, families struggling with rent, and people who, even now, may have no safe place to call home. Give governments, municipalities, builders, community organizations and neighbourhoods wisdom to find practical and sustainable solutions. Help us combine compassion for those in immediate need with wise long-term planning. May more British Columbians experience the dignity, security and blessing of a safe home. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
