BLESS AND GUARD THIS HOUSE O LORD
By Synthia Esther Scripture Reference: Psalm 127:1-2
As a born again Christian, I have sought God's blessings on my life, home and land, as well as on behalf of those family and friends, who desire to proclaim, "As for me and my house we will serve the Lord" (Joshua 24:15). Anointing one's home and land with Olive Oil, in the name of Jesus, is a faith act you can do too! A few bible references concerning the act of anointing with oil and prayer to God include: Psalm 23:5; Psalm45:7; Psalm 141:5; Is. 61:3; Ex, 29:7; Ex. 30:25; Ex. 37:29; Sam. 10:1; Is. 40:9.
Lord, I beseech you, please bless this place, our home where love grows in your free embrace.
May you keep guard over all we do, in praise and honor we give you our due.
May those who enter feel your love, mercy, and grace, and desire to learn and obey your word as their base.
May friend and foe find you live here, ever serving to put away all fear.
May joy and laughter, health and peace, welcome in your Holy fleece.
Amen.

______________________________________________________ BLESS THIS HOUSE PRAYER
We ask His blessing on this home and all who live in it.
May its doors be open to those in need and its rooms be filled with kindness.
May love dwell within its walls, and joy shine from its windows.
May His peace protect it and his presence never leave it.
