The LORD bless you from Zion, And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life. Indeed, may you see your children's children Peace be upon Israel!”
With these Scriptures pray the will of God over your family.
Do this daily as you build and protect your family.
2 Samuel 7:26-29
“That Your name may be magnified forever, by saying, ‘The Lord of hosts is God over Israel’; and may the house of Your servant David be established before You. For You, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have made a revelation to Your servant, saying,’ I will build you a house’; therefore Your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to You. Now, O Lord God, You are God, and Your words are truth, and You have promised this good thing to Your servant. Now therefore, may it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You, O Lord God, have spoken; and with Your blessing may the house of Your servant be blessed forever.”
Acts 13:34
“As for the fact that He raised Him up from the dead, no longer to return to decay, He has spoken in this way: ‘I WILL GIVE YOU THE HOLY AND SURE BLESSINGS OF DAVID.”
Isaiah 55:3
"Incline your ear and come to Me Listen, that you may live and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, according to the faithful mercies shown to David.”
Psalm 133:1-3
“How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.”
Proverbs 24:2-3
“For their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about making trouble. By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established.”
Matthew 7:23-24
“And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
Malachi 2:14-15
"Yet you say, 'For what reason?' Because the LORD has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant. But not one has done so who has a remnant of the Spirit And what did that one do while he was seeking a godly offspring? Take heed then to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of your youth.”
Isaiah 8:18
“Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.”

“Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine within your house, Your children like olive plants Around your table. Behold, for thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD.
The LORD bless you from Zion, And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life. Indeed, may you see your children's children Peace be upon Israel!”
Isaiah 11:2
“The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.”

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

Here is a sample prayer. Know that God is not concerned about whether your prayer is an original or if someone else wrote it. Pray in faith and pray fervently!
Lord Jesus Christ Let my house stay before your presence as it pleases You, let the house of your servant be blessed according to your grace and mercies as you granted unto David. In the name of Jesus Christ let every dysfunction in my family and disharmony be bound and rebuked in the name of Jesus. Lord Jesus Christ I ask you to bless our home with the unity of the Lord. Jesus send your anointing of the Holy Spirit upon our family, break every yoke and send your blessing upon our family like a dew of Hermon were falling from Mount Zion. Lord Jesus Christ from this day I speak let my spouse be virtuous and mature in every area, and grant us the wisdom to live without discord. Let our house be built upon the wisdom of God. Let my house be built on the rock Jesus Christ. Let the foundation of my family be never shaken by the enemy, as my marriage is your covenant and as you are a witness please kindly help me to live until our death as one body, no man or circumstances ever try to separate us. Lord Jesus Christ my children and I we shall be wonders, signs, and miracles in the land of America and the 7 continents. Lord Jesus Christ make our children as a testimony for your Holy Kingdom, as a olive tree branch at our table as we want to see the generational blessings, fill my children with the spirit of the Fear of the Lord which is the beginning of the wisdom of their lives. Grant my children hidden treasures from the wisdom knowledge in the name of Jesus. I bless them with your Holy Name; let my children live holy, godly, and pure lives having no sexual immorality in the name of Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit help us to give an instruction of obedience to our children and give us the grace not to provoke them. All of our family we decided to serve you God in Your Kingdom.
(Proverbs 12:4; Proverbs 21:10-29)
