Day 2 – A conscious choice

“But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15 NLT

While addressing the nation of Israel, Joshua encourages them to choose to serve the Lord and abandon their idols. We all serve something or someone, whether it’s God, financial security, comfort, success, family… there’s something we consciously choose to be central in our lives.  

Prayer mapping your home is making the conscious choice to dedicate it the Lord, choosing to serve Him. Like the wise builder, we are building our home – our lives – upon an unshakable bedrock of faith. Choosing to serve the Lord as a family in the place you call home.

Prayer mapping will allow you to:

• Pray for everyone who lives in, or enter your home

• For your home to be a haven and refuge

• For it to be a shining light of love and truth in the darkness

• To keep God central in your home and the lives of your family

• For protection from evil

• For peace, unity, rest, provision, guidance, and salvation

Don’t you think it’s a map worth laying out?

Prayer: Father, today I make the conscious choice to serve You. To have You central in my home and live, and the lives of those who live under this roof. Please point out the idols that took Your place and I ask forgiveness for allowing this. As I start with this process, I ask that You guide my mind, thoughts, and heart to layout a map reflecting a way to You. Amen.

Love, Pastor Iriza
