Bible commentary and confession on faith for a new house
What a wonderful occasion! Here's a Bible commentary and confession on faith for a new house:
Bible Commentary:
- Psalm 127:1 - "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain." (NIV)
- Matthew 6:33 - "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (NIV)
These verses remind us that our homes are not just physical structures, but also a reflection of our relationship with God. As we build and occupy our new home, let us remember that it is God who provides and blesses our efforts. May we seek His kingdom and righteousness above all else, and trust that He will provide for our needs.
Confession on Faith:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, grateful for the blessing of a new home. We acknowledge that this house is not just a physical structure, but a place where we will build memories, raise our families, and worship You.
We confess that we are not the ones who have built this house, but You have given us the opportunity to occupy it. We acknowledge that our labor is not in vain, because You are the one who has blessed our efforts.
We ask that You would bless this home, and fill it with Your presence. May it be a place of peace, joy, and love, where we can grow in our relationship with You and with each other.
We confess that we will seek Your kingdom and righteousness above all else, and trust that You will provide for our needs. May our home be a reflection of Your love and provision in our lives.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
Prayer of Dedication:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We dedicate this home to You, and ask that You would bless it and keep it. May it be a place where we can worship You, and where Your presence is felt.
We ask that You would guide us as we live in this home, and help us to use it for Your glory. May it be a place of refuge, comfort, and peace for our family and friends.
We pray that You would bless our neighbors, and that our home would be a blessing to them. May we be a light to those around us, and may our home be a reflection of Your love and provision in our lives.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
