House of Prayer


I have moved into my husband's home and we are making it our own.  No matter where I live, I want my home to be a house of prayer...


Front Door & Driveway
·        May the Lord give us opportunities to meet and build relationships with our neighbors.
·        May we be a light to those around us
·        May people feel welcomed into our home
·        May our door always be open to others

Living Room

·        May those that enter our home feel loved and excepted
·        Lively conversations and fellowship abound
·        May those that enter meet face to face with Christ
·        May wounds be healed
·        Joy and laughter prevail 

Dining Room
·        Honest and fruitful conversations
·        Well feed body and souls
·        Community fellowship – white board discussions 

Kitchen
·        Wisdom to make healthy choices
·        Learning joy in self-control and discipline
·        To be creative and joyful in dinner preparation & cleanup
·        Be thankful to God for his provisions
·        To remember to stop and dance with my husband often 

Master Bedroom
·        To be our safe haven
·        To honor God with rest and good sleep
·        Prioritize our marriage
·        Romance and skin to skin time
·        Respectful, loving and encouraging communication
 
Yellow Room
·        Grandkids would accept Christ at a young age
·        Husband's kids would mourn their mom well
·        Protection for family protect our citizens
·        Foster a sweet spirit and cultivate joyful hearts
·        Living with a heavenly focus
·        My husband is God’s perfect gift.  I cannot look beyohnd that gift
·        To honor and keep his first wife's legacy live
·        Freedom from wanting more from his kids

Guest Bedrooms
·        Love and serve others well
·        Stewarding our resources well
·        To fill the rooms with God-sent friends
·        Silent retreats, Sabbath retreats

His Office
·        Praise and thank God for my husband's spiritual leadership
·        Honor my husband's in his calling and ministry.
·        Encourage the God given gifts & talents Jeff has
·        Speak words of encouragement & build him up in Christ
·        Physical and spiritually kneel before him
·        Remind him of who he is in Christ
·        Cleanse him with the washing of God’s word
·        Seek wisdom and discernment in ministry
·        Pray for opportunities that breathe life into him

Bathrooms

·        The washing of God’s word over soul, mind and body
·        Prioritize self-care and exercise
·        Free from negativity and self-doubt
·        Loving my body/mind and how God made me
·        Contentment

Family Room
·        Vessel for God’s Glory
·        May the fire of His word aluminate and cleanse my soul
·        Relationship bridge builder and connector
·        To walk in the light of God’s word and His calling
·        To build a strong legacy
·        Strong boundaries between ministry and marriage

Backyard
·        Knowing how to relax and play in nature
·        Living the simple life and choose grace
·        Embrace adventures and take bold steps
·        Grow and have a teachable spirit
·        Weed – taking thoughts captive & focus on God’s truth
