How I Pray Through My Home And Why You Should Too

in Relationships, Spiritual Growth on 06/21/18

For years when I prayed I would sit in my bedroom, dorm room, or living room with my Bible and a notebook in hand. But, once James and I started fostering my whole prayer life changed.

We were going through a rough season in our home. We had children who were stealing, lying, fighting, and causing nothing short of chaos. They were difficult to talk to, reason with, and correct. I felt the house starting to spiral out of control.

One evening after everyone had gone to bed I decided to walk to all their bedrooms, stand at their door and pray for each of them while they slept. It became a regular routine of mine. It put peace in my heart which in turn gave me a good night’s sleep and strength as I dealt with the craziness of the next day. 

That time at night became some of my sweetest moments while we fostered. I watched God soften my heart towards the difficult ones, speak to me on how to parent them, and saw them slowly change.

When we moved and stopped fostering I no longer had a house full of kids to pray for at their door. So, one evening I decided to walk through the rooms of my new home and prayed for what each room represented to me.

I start and end in my living room. This room is where I pray for the dreams James and I have, the goals we are currently working towards, and our future. I pray for our careers and businesses. I pray for our finances and ask God to show us ways we can bless others. Whether it’s with our time, material items, or financially, I ask Him to show us who and what.

Proverbs 11:24-25 says, “One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.”

In my entryway, I pray for my children’s lives outside of the home. I pray for God to protect them, for them to make wise decisions, and to keep their hearts pure. I pray for those they come in contact with outside of the home, that they will be Godly examples to all they meet. I pray for mentors for my children, Godly people they can open up with and talk to who will always point them back to Christ.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 says,”But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.”

Our dining room is where many of our guests gather since I always feed them 😉 I pray for all who come into our home, that everyone will see and feel the love of Christ as they enter. For our conversations to be uplifting and encouraging. That we will see people come to know Christ here. I pray people will feel that our home is their home and that it’s a safe place. I pray for discernment for James and I as people talk to us about real life struggles and that God will speak through us giving us the words to say. I also, pray for our friendships as many of our friends are walking different paths and dealing with different things.

Ephesians 4:29 says “ Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”

Our house calendar is in our kitchen so I use that as a guideline since the majority of what we do in a month is on there. I pray for church services/events, school events, meetings, etc.  I pray for the areas we’re involved in within our church and for God to continue to use and grow us. I pray for the leaders and vision of the church and for us as a whole to minister to more people within our community. For people to come, feel loved and have their lives changed.

Matthew 9:37-38 says, “Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

I walk to each of my children’s room and pray for them specifically. I pray they always passionately pursue Christ and have their confidence found in Him. I pray for what is going on currently in their life and their future. I pray for their future wife, for God to protect her heart, for her to love Christ first and for me to be a like a second mom to her. I pray for their purity, safety and the friendships they form.

Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

The laundry room, while it’s such a blessing to have, I dread doing laundry. To help offset that, I use my time in the laundry room to thank God for everything. Our home, cars, careers, family, friends, church, etc. I thank Him for all the blessings and give Him all the credit. I will also pray for excellent health for my family and friends.

Psalm 103:3 says, “who forgives all your sin  and heals all your diseases”

1 Timothy 4:4-5 says, “For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

My bedroom is a big prayer room for me. It holds my prayer wall and takes the majority of my time. I spend time praying for my marriage, the many conversations we tend to have while sitting on our bed. Our bedroom has become a safe haven for James and I since it’s our spot away from the kids to talk and to pray together. Then, I go to my prayer wall and pray for the things that I didn’t throughout my house, I write things down, and move post-its around.

Genesis 2:24: “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”

I finish by going back to the living room and spending time in silence. My days are full of a lot of noise and I’ve found that in my spirit, I need the silence. I take that time to let go of my to-do list and schedule and rest in His presence.

Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am God”

It’s now been five years since I started praying through my home and I want to encourage you to do the same. 

If you’re struggling with something specific with your children- go to their room and cover them with prayer.

If you’re walking a tough road with your marriage- cover your bedroom in prayer. 

If you’re battling financial difficulties, illness, fear, depression, etc.- fight your battles with prayer and the Word. 

Your home will become a prayer field full of Christ’s presence and His peace. 

Is this something you’ve done before or do you know anyone else who does this? Let us know in the comments below. I love to hear how others pray throughout their days.

    This is wonderful! We’re traveling in our RV fulltime, so it would be two rooms for our 282 sq feet, but we do house/dog sit during the year, so I could do this then…

    Whenever we go to a new site, Rob and I do pray for that space, and all those who park next to us, and after us… Prayer has been an important part of our 34 years together.

    I could not agree more! Not only do we pray through our homes but we also praise and worship throughout our homes. Not only does it set a tone but it prepares the ground against spiritual attacks.

    I love this. It’s been a while since I’ve done this though–I need to do it again. When we first bought our home, before we moved anything in I walked through each room and prayed, and I pray in the kids rooms for them regularly. We can pray anywhere, but there’s something special about praying room by room like this.

Happy Easter!! •••• I met Jesus when I was Happy Easter!!
••••
I met Jesus when I was 14 years old. My brother invited me to church with him, I went, listened, and was given a Bible at the end of the service. ••••
I remember coming home and sitting on my bed with my new Bible in my hand. I sat there thinking of everything I was told that night and how it reminded me of everything I was taught when I was a little girl. ••••
After sitting there for awhile, I prayed for the very first time. Out loud I said, “OK God, if you are who they say you are, then why would you send your son to die for me, why wouldn’t you just die for me?”
••••
Immediately, and when I say immediately I truly mean with no hesitation a thought came into my mind. I heard, “Doesn’t a parent love their child so much that they would die for them? I love you so much more then that, that I would allow my child to die for YOU.”
••••
I knew the thought that had entered my mind was not from me. I knew it was God speaking directly to me. Since that day, I’ve followed Jesus, learning more about Him, and have dedicated my life to sharing about eternal life through Christ and all the goodness He is. ••••
The world will tell you religion is all about rules and what not to do. Can I personally tell you, that is not true. Following Jesus has given me freedom to truly live. I GET to do things because of Jesus. ••••
I get to love others because Jesus taught me how to love. 
I get to give to others because Jesus has given so much to me. 
I get to truly forgive because Jesus forgave me. 
I get to heal from the hurts life has thrown at me because Jesus has healed me. 
I get to live a life full of JOY because joy comes from Jesus! 
And sooo much more! ••••
My prayer for you is to passionately serve Jesus, have eternal life through Him, and to truly experience what is feels to live a life of freedom.

I spent a semester in Israel during my college yea I spent a semester in Israel during my college years @seuniversity. It was two months after James and I got married so, our first few months as a married couple were spent walking the same streets of Jesus. To say it was a cool experience would be an understatement. •••••••
During my time in Israel there were two moments that took my breath away. One of those moments was being in the literally prison hole that Jesus stayed in the night before He died. •••••••
Historical sites are given a grading scale. An A site is “this is for sure the site that XYZ took place.” An B site is “XYZ took place here OR there” And a C site is “XYZ took place somewhere in this region.” •••••••
Jesus holding cell is an A site. •••••••
I stood in the prison with my fellow students and professor and his family. We sang the hymn - “I Have Decided To Follow Jesus.” It was the only time there I wept like a baby. Snot and all haha! •••••••
But man, to be where your savior was knowing what was to come and He chose to do it anyways. I’ve never felt more love in that moment then I have in my entire life. ••••••••
So today, my prayer is for you to feel that same love. To know Jesus died today for YOU and that He came back for YOU! You are His chosen child. •

In January we lost my sweet mother-in-law very suddenly. It was a shock to us all and has taken us a bit to wrap our minds around. •
•

In addition to the loss of my mother-in-law, we’ve been navigating some health struggles. Now, with everything going on in our world, I can say it’s def been a year so far. •
•

But, God is good. If it’s not good- then it doesn’t come from God. The enemy is very real but nothing to fear because our God is bigger. •
•

So, Today, I want to take a moment to share with you what losing my sweet mother-in-law has taught me. It’s something we can all learn from and I hope it blesses you and encourages you. •

Hi, friend. I know it’s been awhile and I have Hi, friend. 
I know it’s been awhile and I have a post going up tomorrow that explains what the beginning of 2020 has held for myself and my family. 
But, I wanted to get one here tonight to share something that has been on my heart. 
You cannot turn on the TV or pick up your phone without the word “COVID-19” blaring at you. While it’s wise to be informed, these are times many can become anxious, full of fear, and worry. 
Friend, this is our time. And what I mean by that, it’s the Church body’s time. It’s our time to rise up and praise the name of Jesus louder then any other name or word. 
Can I remind you that Jesus conquered every sickness and disease! 
Every. Single. One. 
When He died on that cross. 
And He rose again. 
There are a lot of different beliefs on healing, authority, and what role it plays in our life today. I want to encourage you to seek Jesus through His word and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you to His truth. 
When you find yourself reading this, do me a favor and pause. Look up Psalm 91. Read it, listen to it on repeat on the Bible app, and dwell in the presence of God. 
And then, wake up tomorrow knowing you are a child of the most high King- who rescues you from every attack of the enemy, who protects you from deadly diseases, who is covering you with His feathers and providing you shelter. 
I love you, friend. I’m praying for you.

My family and I just got back from spending a week in South Carolina for Christmas with my parents. •
•
•

Today was a day full of unpacking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and getting back into our normal routine. •
•
•

But, this morning while everyone slept I spent time praying and drinking some coffee. I have so many ideas, goals, and big dreams for my blog and this ministry. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who has used my blog posts to build a women’s ministry curriculum for her neighboring village in western part of Kenya. •
•
•

I thought about my reader in Papua New Guinea who is new in her faith walk and a simple google search looking for more of God’s word led her to my site. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who leads her local church with her husband here is the USA and was looking for a fellow female Christian to connect with and have a space to talk about things she can’t with those around her. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who was diagnosed with a life altering illness and found my site while searching for scripture on healing. •
•
•

I thought about you. The one who has visited and read time and time again. Who has listened while I shared from the deep parts of my heart on the struggles, the wins, the rejections, and the answered prayers of my life. Who has sent encouraging messages, shared feelings, and prayers. Who has in turn opened up to me and shared from the depths of their heart. •
•
•

As you know, I refer to my readers as ‘friend’ and that’s because a friend shows up, listens, encourages, shares, and prays. So, thank you. Thank you for being a friend. 
I’m looking forward to this new year with you as I share more of what God continues to lay on my heart. I’ll continue to look forward to hear from you as we do this journey of life together. •
•
•

Love you friend.
Hi, friend. • • • I’ve been taking things Hi, friend. •
•
•
I’ve been taking things slow over here to enjoy as much of this baby season as humanly possible. Getting to hold and kiss Colton everyday, all day long is a huge blessing I don’t want to take for granted. •
•
•
Because of that, my writing and speaking have been moving slower. I’ve had moments where I’ve shared with James the tug and pull I feel everyday, each week. There’s so many things I want to be doing, creating, sharing but I have to pick and choose right now. •
•
•
Tonight, I was feeding Colton before putting him to bed. When he was done with his bottle I sat it down but kept holding him while finishing a tv show. I heard him cooing and I look down and this precious face was staring up at me with the sweetest smile. •
•
•
Pure joy and love on his face. •
•
•
Friend, here’s your friendly reminder to keep on praying and believing that God has already won the battle, flattened the mountain, and straightened your path. •
•
•
After 2 and 1/2 years of barrenness and praying for this beautiful baby, my Heavenly Father so lovingly answered my prayer with the sweetest boy. •
•
•
I feel closer to Jesus because I pressed into Him during my waiting season and I want the same for you. •
•
•
Press in. •
•
•
And when your prayer is answered: enjoy. every. part. of. it. •
•
•
Even if that means other things need to move slower. •
•
•
Love you, friend. ❤️

Everyone is sharing their top 9 photos from 2019 b Everyone is sharing their top 9 photos from 2019 but I’m going to share my number one photo for this year. This photo represents an answer to prayer in my life and reminds me of the love and faithfulness of my Savior. •

My family and I just got back from spending a week in South Carolina for Christmas with my parents. •
•
•

Today was a day full of unpacking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and getting back into our normal routine. •
•
•

But, this morning while everyone slept I spent time praying and drinking some coffee. I have so many ideas, goals, and big dreams for my blog and this ministry. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who has used my blog posts to build a women’s ministry curriculum for her neighboring village in western part of Kenya. •
•
•

I thought about my reader in Papua New Guinea who is new in her faith walk and a simple google search looking for more of God’s word led her to my site. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who leads her local church with her husband here is the USA and was looking for a fellow female Christian to connect with and have a space to talk about things she can’t with those around her. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who was diagnosed with a life altering illness and found my site while searching for scripture on healing. •
•
•

I thought about you. The one who has visited and read time and time again. Who has listened while I shared from the deep parts of my heart on the struggles, the wins, the rejections, and the answered prayers of my life. Who has sent encouraging messages, shared feelings, and prayers. Who has in turn opened up to me and shared from the depths of their heart. •
•
•

As you know, I refer to my readers as ‘friend’ and that’s because a friend shows up, listens, encourages, shares, and prays. So, thank you. Thank you for being a friend. 
I’m looking forward to this new year with you as I share more of what God continues to lay on my heart. I’ll continue to look forward to hear from you as we do this journey of life together. •

Love you friend.
Hi, friend. • • • I’ve been taking things Hi, friend. •
•
•
I’ve been taking things slow over here to enjoy as much of this baby season as humanly possible. Getting to hold and kiss Colton everyday, all day long is a huge blessing I don’t want to take for granted. •
•
•
Because of that, my writing and speaking have been moving slower. I’ve had moments where I’ve shared with James the tug and pull I feel everyday, each week. There’s so many things I want to be doing, creating, sharing but I have to pick and choose right now. •
•
•
Tonight, I was feeding Colton before putting him to bed. When he was done with his bottle I sat it down but kept holding him while finishing a tv show. I heard him cooing and I look down and this precious face was staring up at me with the sweetest smile. •
•
•
Pure joy and love on his face. •
•
•
Friend, here’s your friendly reminder to keep on praying and believing that God has already won the battle, flattened the mountain, and straightened your path. •
•
•
After 2 and 1/2 years of barrenness and praying for this beautiful baby, my Heavenly Father so lovingly answered my prayer with the sweetest boy. •
•
•
I feel closer to Jesus because I pressed into Him during my waiting season and I want the same for you. •
•
•
Press in. •
•
•
And when your prayer is answered: enjoy. every. part. of. it. •
•
•
Even if that means other things need to move slower. •
•
•
Love you, friend. ❤️
