A place of worship, intercession, repentance, celebration, and thanksgiving.
“But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matthew 6:6
A house of prayer is not just a building, but a living, breathing place where God’s presence dwells—first in us, then among us. To become a “house of prayer” as an individual means choosing to prioritize prayer, welcoming God into every part of your daily life, and seeking to know Him deeply through both conversation and quiet.
This journey is marked by obedience and discipline, but also by intimacy and rest. As your relationship with the Father grows, your prayers will deepen; sometimes words will flow, and sometimes you’ll simply sit in His presence and listen.
There will be seasons when you don’t have the words to pray, but the Holy Spirit will intercede for you (Romans 8:26-27). God calls us to dedicate ourselves as living sacrifices (Romans 12:1), to become vessels ready to host His glory. Prayer, for the believer, is as vital as breath. As R.C. Sproul writes in the opening chapter of his book Does Prayer Change Things?, “Prayer is to the Christian what breath is to life” (Sproul, 2009, p. 1).
Daughters of God let's be intentional about being a House of Prayer. Together, let’s create spaces—both private and shared—where intimacy and communion with the Father flourish. Let’s pursue reverence, humility, and a heart that says: “Father, make me a House of Prayer for Your glory.”

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for inviting us to become Houses of Prayer—places where Your presence dwells, where worship and intercession rise, where we know You intimately. Teach us to make prayer our first response, not our last resort. Let Your Spirit guide our every word, and when we have no words, intercede for us. May our lives be living sacrifices, dedicated to Your will and glory. Make us, together and individually, truly a House of Prayer. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
