Amen. This is a powerful and biblical prayer, directly echoing the words of the Apostle Paul to his spiritual son Timothy. It asks for the essential trifecta of the Christian life: God's power, His love, and a mind guarded by His peace.
Here is a prayerful poem for this blessing.

Bless Me With Power, Love, and a Sound Mind
The world offers a strength that is loud and brash,
A love that is selfish,a mind that is rash.
But I come to You,the true source of all,
Answering Your Spirit's faithful call.
Bless me, O Lord, as Your Word has said,
With power, and love, and a sound mind instead.
Bless me with POWER—not of my own,
A strength that is only before Your throne.
The dynamite power of Your Spirit within,
To die to myself and to rise above sin.
Power to serve,to stand, and to pray,
To face any giant that comes my way.
“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power…”(2 Timothy 1:7)
Bless me with LOVE—that sees as You see,
A love that pours out and sets others free.
The love that is patient,and kind, and true,
The love that was demonstrated by You.
A heart that is soft,a will to forgive,
A love for the lost,that they too might live.
Bless me with a SOUND MIND—calm and clear,
Anchored in truth,and banishing fear.
A mind not tossed by the waves of doubt,
But fixed on the things You’re all about.
A disciplined thought life,focused and pure,
A peace that is promised,and will endure.
“…but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”(2 Timothy 1:7)
So weave these three cords, a unbreakable strand,
Held secure in the grip of Your mighty hand.
Let this be my portion,my blessing, my story,
A reflection of Your resplendent glory.
Bless me with power, love, and a sound mind,
In Your perfect will,may I always be aligned.
