And bring His peace,
That fear may find no entry here.

Rest be present at each return;
Each day, each night,
Each going out and each returning.

Prayer of Blessing

Lord,

We have prepared a place for you here.
Be with all of us who will live in this dorm room this semester,
We ask for your presence and your blessing.
Shelter us when we are at home,
Walk with us when we are away,
And welcome every guest with us.
And, when our life’s journey is done,
May we dwell with you in the place you have prepared for us in God’s House,
Where you live forever and ever.

Amen.

Blessing Prayer For A Marriage Bed

Lord and Creator of All that is Good,
You who have been known to prophet and saint
by the simple name of Love,
be with us now
as we bless our marriage bed.

We rejoice that Your Son, Jesus, spoke of Your kingdom
as a wedding feast of love and joy.
That bed which we share
shall be a place of sleep;
may it also be a place of love and joy.
Make it, Lord, a holy place
that is overflowing with refreshment and tenderness.
Open our eyes to see it as sacred
since within it we shall recommit ourselves,
in love and hope, to one another.
Daily, Lord , open our eyes
so that we might understand the marvelous mystery
of how, in our mutual love for each other,
we experience You, our God.

Send Your holy spirits of gentleness and affection
to surround this marriage bed
so that we who share it
may find communion and healing within it.

May the dark spirits of resentment and selfishness
be forever forbidden to nap here,
and may only love, joy and playfulness
be permitted to sleep with us.

We pray, then that the rich blessing of Your divine name,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
descend upon this bed
and remain here forever.

Amen+
