Prayers Update

So I promised before that I would update with the prayers mom wrote/found for the blessing of the house a few weeks ago...here they are. No laughing Matt!


If the Lord does not build the house, in vain do the builders labor.
(Read by mom)

Everyone who comes to me and listens to my words and acts on them—
I will show you what he is like.
He is like the man who, when he built his house dug, and dug deep,
and laid the foundations on rock;
when the river was in flood, it bore down on that house,
but could not shake it, it was so well built.
(Luke 6:47)
(Read by Katherine and Miked)

The Son of God, Lord of heaven and earth, made his home among us. With thankfulness and gladness let us call upon him:

Lord Jesus Christ, by your life with Mary and Joseph you sanctified the life of the home; dwell with us in our home so that we may have you as our guest and honor you as our Head.

In you every dwelling grows into a holy temple; grant that those who live in this house may be built up together into the dwelling place of God in the Holy Spirit.

You taught your followers to build their houses upon solid rock; grant that the members of this family may hold fast to your teachings and, free of all discord, serve you with their whole hearts.

You had no place to lay your head, but in uncomplaining poverty you accepted the hospitality of your friends; grant that through our help people who are homeless may obtain decent housing.


O God, the builder of all things,
you have placed on us the obligation of toil.
Grant that the work we begin may serve to better our lives
and through your goodness contribute to the spread of the kingdom of Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
