Winston Churchill once said “We shape our homes then our homes shape us” – a quote I believe that resonates with many. Home is not a mere place of residence nor is it a simple roof over our heads. Home is a lived and living experience. It is where some of our most intimate memories are being formed and where our personalities grow. It is a place that many will carry in our hearts for generations. Hence, house blessing prayer is important to ensure that our homes are spiritually pure to protect us against the demon’s foothold on us. The power of our prayer is one of the greatest blessings from God. Therefore, we do not need to fear as we pray for spiritual coverage over our homes. 

However, our house blessing prayer should also include praying for the people living and visiting such that our house is a righteous home, a beacon of love, hope, and rest. After all, God curses the house of the wicked but blesses the house of the righteous (Proverbs 3:33). Let’s learn how to bless a house and challenge ourselves today to understand house blessing in a new way. Here are 15 house blessing prayers for you and your loved ones: 

1. A House Blessing Prayer

A home blessing prayer is essential. Regardless of whether it is a new home or a current one, we encourage everyone to bless their homes through prayer.

Lord, we give thanks for this house that You have provided for us. May You sanctify this house so that we may set it apart to use for Your glory. May this house become a holy temple of Yours and Your name be praised within these walls all day and night. We ask in reverence that Your will be done in this house. This house and household will serve You for all our days. Thank You, Lord, for blessing this house, Amen.

Bedrooms are one of the most important parts of the house because it is the most intimate space of ours and where we retreat for the day. In your house blessing prayer, remember to pray for blessings over your bedrooms.

Blessing your kitchens and dining rooms may seem a little strange. Nonetheless, our prayers will never be too weird or strange for God. He wants to hear all of our prayers.

Hence, let us welcome God to be the lord and master over our home. 

Father, we ask of You today to be the Lord of our home. Let Your presence be felt in every room and everyone who lives here will be touched by Your spirit. Bless our home with Your presence today that this house may become an altar to worship and give You praise. Thank You, Lord, Amen.

10. A Prayer for Guests visiting 

A house blessing prayer that we tend to overlook is praying that our homes can be a place of refuge for any guest visiting. Pray that when they visit, our guests leave filled with love and the Spirit.

God, I would like to entrust this home into Your loving hands. Make this home and this household a beacon of hope and love for our guests. Bless everyone who enters our doors that they may feel Your presence with them in this house. Teach us to also have compassion so that our house may be a refuge for them as well. Thank you, Lord, Amen.

Apart from our guests, let us also pray that our home is a safe place for anyone in our household to live in, both spiritually and physically. For it is written in Hebrews 3:4 that even if a house is built by someone, God is the builder of all things. Let us say this house blessing prayer today: 

Dear God, I ask for Your mighty hand to be upon everyone in this home. I pray that there will be no physical damage to this house such that no physical harm will come to anyone in this household.
