The Doorpost Blessing
Dedicate your home to God, room by room.
“And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.”DEUTERONOMY 6:9
Moving into a new home? Or long overdue to dedicate the one you’re in? Many families, especially in the Caribbean, bless a house before they settle into it. Here is a simple 15-minute family service, a prayer for each room, and doorpost cards you can print with your family name.
📖 How to do itAbout 15 minutes · the whole household
- Gather at the front door. Read Psalm 127:1 together: “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it.”
- Walk room by room. In each room, one person reads the verse and another prays the short prayer below. Let children take turns.
- Place a card on or near each doorframe, or one by the front door.
- End at the table with a meal, and pray together: “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:15)
Some families anoint the doorposts with a little oil as a sign of dedication. That is a choice, not a requirement. The blessing comes from God, not from the oil, the cards, or anything else. A house that belongs to Him needs no charms.
