A PRAYER FOR LIVING THE FAITH AT HOME

A Prayer For Living the Faith At Home
Based on Psalm 101:1-8.

By You, O Lord, and for all those in my home,
Grant that I will speak of Your steadfast love and justice.
By You, O Lord, and for all those in my home,
Grant that I will ponder with them, the way that is blameless.
By You, O Lord, and for all those in my home,
Grant that I will walk with integrity of heart within my house.
By You, O Lord, and for all those in my home,
Grant that I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless.
By You, O Lord, and for all those in my home,
Grant that I may hate the work of those who fall away so that it shall not cling to me or them.
By You, O Lord, and for all those in my home,
Grant that a perverse heart shall be far from me that I will know nothing of evil.
By You, O Lord, and for all those in my home,
Grant that I may reject whoever slanders his neighbor secretly.
By You, O Lord, and for all those in my home,
Grant that I will not endure whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart.
By You, O Lord, and for all those in my home,
Grant that I will look with favor on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me.

By You, O Lord, and for all those in my home,
Grant that the one who walks in the way that is blameless shall minister with me.
By You, O Lord, and for all those in my home,
Grant that no one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes.
By You, O Lord, and for all those in my home,
Grant that Morning by morning I will reject all that is wicked, cutting off all the evildoers from the dwelling place of the Lord, be it in me, my home, or my church.
By You, O Lord, and for all those in my home,
I pray, when will You come to us?
By You, O Lord, and for all those in my home,
I pray in Jesus’ holy name. Amen.
