The Business of Loving Thy Neighborনমুনা

Developers

Real Estate developers have an incredible opportunity to be the hands and feet of God. Whether you’re building homes for families or office space for businesses, you’re creating spaces for people to live their lives as an act of worship. What would it look like if you prayed over those spaces as you built them?

The strange truth is that you won’t know what happens in these buildings after you’ve completed building them. You’ll never have the full insight on the type of people that inhabit them, the lives they lead, the struggles they face, and all the different parts of life that happen there.

But you can still pray for them. Pray this prayer as you drive to work today...

Father, you are the all-knowing creator of the universe. I seek you today for wisdom and creativity as an apartment developer. What a privilege it is to build homes for families. It’s amazing to think of all the significant memories and relationships that will take place in these apartments. I pray your blessing upon this community, that the people who live here would come to know you, Jesus. May these homes be filled with your love, joy, and peace. God, please grant me wisdom for my job. Help me to lead my team effectively and to navigate the challenges we face. Grant me patience, focus, and creative thinking. Lord, please provide the capital needed for our projects as well as favorable interest rates. May we see a good return on our investment and be faithful stewards with all that you entrust to us. Amen.
