Blessing of a home
At the Front Door
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3: 20)
Living Room
36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. 37 ‘Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.’ (Luke 6: 36-38)
Bedroom
In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat – for he grants sleep to those he loves. (Psalm 127: 2)
Kitchen
You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the LORD your God, who has worked wonders for you. (Joel 2: 26)
Study
“But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? (Job 28:12)
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will (Romans 12: 2)
Family Prayer said together
Lord, I want to thank you for this precious family of ours and for the talents and good things that you have given each of us. Please keep us united, and our bond strong as the days pass. Please guide us, protect us and equip us to do your will each and every day. Thank you for all that you are, and all that you have given us and may your blessing rest on our new home for the glory of your name, Amen.
