So many people start their housing projects, and have a groundbreaking ceremony but cannot finish due to one issue or the other. It is one thing to lay the foundation of a new building, it is also another thing to complete such a project.

Therefore, you must be aligned with God when undergoing some projects, in this case, building, before you can complete such construction. That’s why I have compiled some powerful prayers for you to build a house.
