New House Blessing
(a contemporary prayer poem suitable for sending in a housewarming card or as a message)
May this home be wonderful
Filled with great joy
May you settle in quickly
And really enjoy
A chance to build new things
Upon a new page
A fresh look at living
A chance to make change.
And let this home also
Be a great place to rest
Come unpack the good things
That bring happiness.
And may you feel safe
In this new place you own
May this house quickly
Become just like home.
Blessing a new home - some creative ideas
A "home" is more than bricks and mortar. And as we fill a new place with our own possessions it builds identity and memory into it's heart. Sometimes this transition comes naturally but there are occasions when making a new house a "home" can be challenging. Here are some creative ideas for blessing your new dwelling:-
• You may find that filling the home with friends and family in a house warming party will change the way you feel. Consider also praying with others by moving from room to room. This is an opportunity to ask for God's peace and speak out your hopes for each aspect of living in your new home.
• If there is an aspect of the house that you find difficult, consider addressing this physically with flowers, colour (repainting) or changing the lighting. You may also want to stand within the area of concern and pray love and blessing over it.
• Nesting is an important aspect of human nature, and we will each have our own way of creating a safe haven. If in doubt or if you are struggling with your living accommodation, speak with a friend, change things and pray until you feel like you're "home". Here you may find some of the prayer poems and blessings on this page useful.
