A Blessing for Your Life
The Lord bless you and keep you.
Not as the world blesses—with empty hope and fleeting favor—
But with a blessing that pursues you, that guards and sustains you forever.
May His face shine upon you, not from a distance,
But in the quiet moments, in the ordinary, in the persistent.
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. (Numbers 6:24-26)
May He bless your spirit—with peace that transcends all understanding,
With joy that rises even when circumstances are demanding.
May He anchor you in His presence, your true and secret place,
And remind you daily of the unshakable foundation of His grace.
May He bless your body—this temple where His Spirit dwells.
May He grant you strength for each task, and rest when the body rebels.
May He shield you from harm, sustain you with daily bread,
And grant you the gift of waking to purpose ahead of your bed.
May He bless your heart—your relationships, your loves.
May He bind what is broken, protect what He's made of.
May He fill your home with kindness, your friendships with deep trust,
And teach you to forgive as He has forgiven your own dust.
May He bless your hands—the work of all your days.
May He establish its fruitfulness and direct its paths and ways.
May He give you work with meaning, and contentment in each task,
And use you as a vessel for mercy that you did not have to ask.
May He bless your future—the days yet to unfold.
May He walk before you, beside you, and hold you when you're old.
May He write your story with purpose, and when the final chapter's done,
May you hear the words you've longed for: "Well done, my child. Well done."
This is my prayer for you.
Not just for today, but for all the days He grants.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
Amen.
