Before you ask God for help in buying a house, get inspired by the story of the Israelites in the book of Joshua. After hundreds of years of wandering in the desert, the people of God finally arrived at the Promised Land. They had to take control of the land and claim their property. But God had a plan, and prayer was the first step. In Joshua 1:2-3, God told Joshua:

Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

But they had to pray and ask God for help before they could take possession of the land. God’s promise wasn’t just a promise of success; it was also a call to believe and follow through. Joshua and the Israelites were able to get past what seemed like insurmountable problems, like the walls of Jericho and the fierce armies of Canaan, because they prayed and sought God’s will.

In the end, they got the land, just as God had said they would. Now, when we pray to buy a house, we’re not just asking for a building to live in. We are asking God to take us to the place He has planned for us by giving us wisdom and direction. We believe that His promise in Philippians 4:19 to meet all our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus is not just a dream, but a real thing that will happen in our lives.

Prayer to Get Help from a Real Estate Agent to Look at Homes

Our Father,

I will need a real estate agent I can trust, one who is informed, and willing to help me find the right home. I know you are my shepherd. The Bible says, “He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul and guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake” (Psalm 23:2–3). I worship You as You will put me in touch with the right real estate agent. May they listen to my needs and work hard to find me the perfect house within my budget. Help me to also figure out who they are and what they know.

When they deal with me, I pray that they will be honest and open, and that they will have my best interests at heart. Give me wisdom and discernment as I talk to possible agents and help me find the best one for me. I don’t want to be swayed by their charm or sales tricks. Instead, I want to trust them, and hope that You will use this person to help me find a good home.

I pray that you will help me stay strong and patient, and that I won’t give up or get angry. I believe that you are in charge and everything will work out for my good. Amen

Prayer for moving into a house I have bought

Dear God,

When it’s time to move into my new home, please make the process easy. Remind me to stand in any of the empty rooms, and pray that you will come in and take control. I pray for this to house be filled with your love and peace, and may your Spirit lead and guide me. It should be a safe place where I can rest and find comfort in your company. I pray that you will help me make this new home a place of worship and praise as I get used to it.

My heart should be joyful and thankful, and may I praise you for all the good things you’ve done. Psalm 127:1 says, “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.”

I know that you want a house for me and have planned every step of it. Please, be in charge and continue to lead and guide me as I buy a house and make it my own home. May this house be a place where I can serve you, and use it to honor Your name. Please make it a place where people feel welcome and where I can share your love with them. Father, thank you so much. I commit all I have into Your hands and pray that you will use it to honor yourself. I pray in the name of Jesus.

Amen.

What is the Lords Prayer for a house?

There is no specific Lord’s Prayer for a house, but we can pray based on biblical principles and the model of prayer that Jesus taught His disciples in Matthew 6:9-13, commonly known as the Lord’s Prayer.

Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come, your will be done

Help us to seek your guidance as I search for a home. May your will be done in our lives, and may we trust that you have a good plan for us.

Give us today our daily bread

Provide for our needs, Lord, and give us the resources we require to purchase a home.

Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors

Forgive us for any mistakes or wrong decisions we may have made in the past. Help us to forgive others who may have wronged us, and may our relationships be marked by love, kindness, and generosity.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Protect us from the temptation to prioritize material possessions over our relationship with you.

For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.

May our home be a reflection of your kingdom, a place where love, joy, and peace reign. May we use our home as a tool to serve others and bring glory to Your name.

Amen.

When we pray, God is not just watching from afar; He is also a part of it. He is One who goes ahead of us, clears the way, and makes a road for us to follow. He is also the one who will bring us to a place of peace and blessing where we can say with faith, “This is the house that God gave me.”
