The Builder

Unless the LORD builds the house, 

the builders labour in vain. 

Unless the LORD watches over the city, 

the watchmen stand guard in vain.                              Psalm 127.1

I want the Lord to build my house. I pray that He would lay each block in place. I look to be founded on Him, the firmest foundation.

I pray He will raise up in my life a superstructure of praise and joy, and full acknowledgement to Him. I rejoice in my Lord.

I place myself under His covering. May He watch over me as He gives the keenest watch to that which is precious to Him.

I would seek to live in “the house of the Lord forever”. 

Lord God,

I come before You with praise and thanksgiving. I rejoice that You are my Lord. I submit myself fully to Your will. I pray that Your full plan and every purpose will be achieved in my life. 

I open myself to You. I ask You to take me, and make me yours. Please show me where I need to bring myself to order. Re-align me where I might get out of alignment. Have Your full and perfect way in me.

I ask You to build my house. Build the house of my life, my living, my family and all relationships, my ministry, my health.

Lord, all that I am and all that I do I commit to You. My life is Yours. Please take me and do what You will and purpose in me, in Jesus’ name I ask.         Amen.
