Prayers for the Home is filled with Scripture-based prayers. These keep your thoughts centered in the right place!
We are in the midst of a spiritual war–and powerful prayers are the key to overcoming! The Scripture says that our enemy, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Kepha/Peter 5:8). The Scripture also admonishes us that we should not be surprised by the fiery trials that come to try us (1 Kepha/Peter 4:12). Instead, we should REJOICE! You’re probably saying, “that’s easier said than done!” However, the very next verse tells us the secret to coming to a place of shalum in the midst of trials.
‘but as you share Messiah’s sufferings, rejoice, in order that you might rejoice exultingly at the revelation of His esteem.’
Kĕpha Aleph (1 Peter) 4:13

Sometimes we become so engulfed by the flames of these fiery trials, that it is hard to see Messiah in the midst of it! I was about to say “on the other side of the struggle.” Still, we are always reminded of His great promised: “I will never fail you nor forsake you!” We can count on this promise, because He who said it is always faithful!
OVERCOMING THROUGH PRAYER
So now to the purpose for this post!
We know that much of the struggles we face are right within the walls of our home. Why? This is because if the enemy can create problems in your family life, he can disrupt your whole life, since home is where our heart truly is! There are many tactics that the enemy uses to gain a stronghold over our lives, our homes, and our household. However, the good news is, we are not helpless. The Scripture says we overcome by (1) the BLOOD OF THE LAMB and (2) the WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY (Revelation 12:11).
Prayer is also one of our biggest defenses. We should pray without ceasing (Ephesians 6:18), meaning we should not give up but keep praying until we experience the breakthroughs from YAH. Ya’acob (James) 5:16 also reminds us that the earnest prayer of the righteous avails much!
For several weeks, I’ve been praying the prayers in this new book we are now releasing, Pray Over Your Home. This Scripture-based book, which has become embedded in Sabbath routine, is filled with empowering Words. These Wonderful Words will breathe new life into your home and household. Although Sabbath is the day I love to read it, these prayers are relevant every single day of the week.
Two bonus sections we’ve added:
- Prayer for Protection of the Household
- 12 Petitions for the home
I especially love the 12 petitions for the home, which sets the mood for the rest of the reading, as we claim personal blessings quoted in the text.
We hope that you find shalum in the reading of the set-apart words in this book!
