Prayer For Room Blessing
Be our shelter, Lord, when we are at home, our companion when we
are away and our welcome guest when we return. At last receive us
into the dwelling place that you have prepared for us in your Father's
house, where you live for ever and ever. Amen.
Blessed are you, Lord of heaven and earth. You formed us in wisdom
and love. Refresh us in body and in spirit, and keep us in good health
that we might serve you.
Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Protect us, Lord as we stay awake: watch over us as we sleep, that
awake we may keep watch with Christ, and asleep, we may rest in his
peace.
Grant this through Christ our Lord: Amen.
O God, you fill the hungry with good things. Send your blessing on us,
as we work in this kitchen, and make us ever thankful for our daily
bread.
Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
O God, protect our going out and our coming in. Let us share the
hospitality of this home with all who visit us, that those who enter here
may know your love and peace.
Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen
Father,
We praise You for this fresh revelation today concerning our homes and the blessing we wish to bestow over them with this prayer. You are faithful to reveal so much more than we even knew we needed to pray for! And as the context of Your Love continues to unravel before our eyes, we pray that our hearts are open to receiving Your grace and truth.
We praise You for providing our dwelling place: a house, rented or owned, an apartment, condo, shelter, dorm room, bench, cover under a bridge. Wherever we lie to rest our heads, we thank You. Thank You for rest, restoration, and breath in our lungs. Bless and heal all those who seek refuge in hospitals, medical centers, hospice, and nursing homes. To breathe every day takes on a new meaning when we're brought to our knees with illness, accident, and age.
Forgive us for complaining about our circumstances, whether it be from our homes or in our ailments. We are still placed purposefully. Help us to live out every breath with the intention of opening the door to Gospel change, no matter what our door looks like or which ones we walk through each day.
As the disciples did fresh off their experience with Jesus, let us be willing to take risks for our faith for Christ to use our lives to widen the Kingdom family. Scripture reminds us that our names are written in heaven our forever home.
Bless this house! May it be every day changed by Your love, Jesus. Keep our homes safe. Protect our dwellings from fire, flood, wind, invasion, and theft. Let our houses be safe places to restore what has been lost and welcome mats for those who need Your love. We ask for a legacy of love that drifts down into the furthest generations of our family and the family of all that walk through our door.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
Bless this bedroom, Lord, so that all who live in it may remain firm in Your peace and persevere in Your will. May they live a long life and have children for many days to come, and finally arrive at the kingdom of heaven through Christ our Lord.
Lord,
We have prepared a place for you here.
Be with all of us who will live in this dorm room this semester,
We ask for your presence and your blessing.
Shelter us when we are at home,
Walk with us when we are away,
And welcome every guest with us.
And, when our life's journey is done,
May we dwell with you in the place you have prepared for us in God's House,
Where you live forever and ever.
Amen.
