A Prayer for a House of Harmony – Your Everyday Prayer

A Prayer for a House of Harmony
By: Emma Danzey 

“But if serving the Lord would seem unwanted to you, then pick out for yourselves this day whom you will provide, regardless of whether the gods your ancestors served past the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are residing. But as for me and my family, we will provide the Lord.” – Joshua 24:15

As I rocked my 3-month-old baby boy to slumber and my partner was getting factors completed all-around the dwelling, a experience of being overwhelmed washed about me. “Jesus!” I prayed aloud. “Jesus, assist our home to be a spot of peace, give us Your harmony. Jesus! Safeguard us from the enemy, surround us with Your angels.” 

It could be easy to have in-home frustrations and are living out of our flesh as a husband or wife, roommate, father or mother, or kid. Dwelling in a house with each other is a recipe for growth and unity, or disaster and discord. As believers we know there is a spiritual fight heading on and the enemy does not want our households to provide the Lord. Nowadays, we are likely to inquire Him to support us to wage war by contacting on His name, Jesus, to reclaim any regions in which sin and demonic forces have attempted to come versus us.

Let’s Pray:
Jesus,
Thank You for the residence which You have blessed me with today. Thank you for offering me the gift of shelter. Thank You for the wonderful spouse and children You have entrusted to me to understand from, care for, and be refined into Your picture. These days, I identify that I am weak, a sinner, and in have to have of Your assistance. I cannot provide You on my very own. I need Your assistance. Holy Spirit, fill me up these days to are living by Your methods and not my flesh. Remind me of humility and grace. I pray versus the non secular darkness which tries to wreak chaos in our property. In Jesus’ potent name, I question that You remove the get the job done of the enemy that seeks to steal, get rid of, and ruin, and provide us with the fruit of the Spirit lived out every day. Eliminate the lies and the thoughts that divide and reunite us in any spot in which we have been broken. God, You are the terrific Mender of our messes. Even if the house is a actual physical mess from our active life, support us to not neglect the legitimate mess of our hearts. Fill me up by Your Spirit through pondering Your Scriptures. You say that all Your Scriptures are breathed by You and are useful to me. Give me the capacity to pick You over the lesser factors. Help me to cling to You and reside out of a spot of harmony.

I pray that when the enemy sees our spouse and children, he is familiar with we are serving the Lord and we are sealed by the blood of Christ. Could our household be a place in which, when unbelievers stroll into it, they experience the ability of the existence of God, a peace that surpasses their understanding, and they would witness joy in all situation rooted in Christ. Use our household as a position of ministry and witness to the gospel of Jesus. Produce a attractive house of worship and praise for Your glory to fill up each individual place. 

Bless the meals made, the discussions had, the diapers adjusted, the going to friends bless the vacuuming, the sleeping, the singing, and the laughing. Lord may well all we do be a reminder that You are the Giver of everyday living and the Creator of all things. May perhaps we recall we are 1 in You and that no subject what other individuals all over us are picking to do in their homes, as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. Aid me to decide on right now and just about every day to surrender to You and acknowledge my inability to reside for You on my individual accord. Jesus, it is only by Your gift of the Holy Spirit that I can live out this deep longing for harmony and peace in our home. You have done it right before, and I requested boldly now that You would do it all over again. Amen.
