Blessing Prayer for the Home
Lord our God,
You whose home is heaven, on earth . . .
and in that undiscovered beyond, come and bless this house which is now
to be our home.
Surround this shelter with Your Holy Spirit.
Encompass all its four sides with the power of Your protection
so that no evil or harm will come near.
May that divine blessing shield this home from destruction, storm, sickness
and all that might bring evil to us who shall live within these walls. Amen.
