Simple House Blessing Prayer
Dear God,
We thank You for this place we call home. We ask that You fill it with Your Holy Spirit, protecting it from any attacks of the enemy. We pray against anything that isn’t of You and ask for Your strength to overcome any temptations that may arise. Shut down and shut out anything that does not honor You, and close any doors we may have unknowingly opened in the past.
Lord, we ask that You bless this home with peace, love, and safety. May everyone who enters feel Your presence and grace. Help our family to love and follow You all the days of our lives. May we seek You in all things and always find You here.
In Jesus Christ of Nazareth’s holy name,
Amen.
