Please pray for everything to go thru smoothly, or at least to go thru. My husband and I have been married for 12 years and have never been able to afford a house. We now have the means and opportunity, but some things need to come together.

We both love this house. We instantly fell in love with it, the minute we stepped into the foyer we both knew it was perfect for our family. The kids also love it. If we buy it, it will be the first time we’ve had a place large enough to have guests over for dinner. Since I’m very social, this means a lot to me.

It’s a tudor-style house, with four bedrooms and two and a half boths. It’s older, with lots of character. Old, classic fixtures, built in book-cases and a window seat (as a reader, I absolutely love these features), tons of built-in shelves, and even the room that would be our daughter’s has a castle painted in the walls.

Please, please pray that everything goes well and we’re able to get it. My husband and I would be severely disappointed if it doesn’t go thru.

Thanks for all your prayers. My husband and I, and our children, really appreciate it.

This sounds charming and Tudors are know for cozy atmospheres that are a warm backdrop to raise a family. I will keep you in my prayers, and when you get it, will you let us see some pictures?
 
It looks like everything is in place for your family to obtain this house, but have you thought about turning to God for your prayers as well? I can’t imagine Him not wanting to bless you and your family with a beautiful home because God HImself is the Great Provider.

While there’s nothing wrong with asking others to pray for us, we ought to turn to God in all things first. God wants nothing more than to take care of all our needs–but we must put Him above all else and start thanking Him for all He’s given us so he can continue to shower more blessings upon us.

God blesses families because He Himself instituted the first family, which was Adam and Eve and their descendants. I believe God wants to bless your family as well, so why not turn to Him and give thanks and ask HIm to give you the house of your dreams? I find most times prayer doesn’t come easily to most of us, so feel free to use the following prayer as a starting point to your own prayers for your house.

“Heavenly Father, we thank you for providing for every need that we have. We thank you for all that you have blessed us with (our health, our jobs,etc.) and for your continued blessings on our family. We ask now for your continued favor as we walk in faith towards the purchase of our new dream home. Open any doors that may block the purchase of this home and put your hand over all the matters dealing with this house, fom the financing to the signing of the papers,so that all goes smoothly. We thank you Father for providing for all our needs, as we look forward to owership of our very first house. In the holy name of your son Jesus. Amen.”

Jesus said that “wherever two or more are gathered, there am I in the midst of them”, so just be sure that at least two or more of the family say this prayer (in agreement).

God Bless

12 years in the works? I’d say it’s pretty safe to say that this family IS and HAS been praying for it 🙂
I’ll be praying for you to receive the home of your dreams!! I’m praying for a new home as well! God speed!
 
Lord, please help this family to secure this house, if this house is your will for them. It sounds like such a nice place, I hope it is your will for them. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
 
Thanks for the prayers, everyone.

I hate to tell you this, but the whole thing fell thru yesterday. God was obviously telling us it was the wrong time because he made it so blatantly obvious we would’ve been fools to go thru with it.

Yes, we’re very disappointed and, I have to admit, angry. Right now, I’m just trying to trust that God does know best and He’s looking out for me. I’m also trying to console myself with the fact that He obviously has something better in mind.

Again, thanks for all the prayers. I love you for them.

Sorry it didn’t go through. Praying for another good opportunity for your family.
 
I pray God finds you a home that will be just as perfect. Hopefully a tudor… I love those houses too.

Hail Mary, full of grace
the Lord is with you
blessed are you amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God
pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death

Amen.
