The Lord will build and guard my house

"‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.’"  (Luke 14: 30)

O Lord, forbid that I should come to such a fate again.  Your word promises, "I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus."  (Philippians 1: 6)

I agree and rejoice with your word in Psalm 127: 1:

"Unless the LORD build the house,
they labor in vain who build.
Unless the LORD guard the city,
in vain does the guard keep watch."

Once upon a time, I started to build but was unable to finish.  I became a laughing stock in the community.  This time, I have learned my lesson.  I want you to build my house O Lord.  I want you to watch over the house O Lord.  With you building and guarding the house I feel secure.
