A Scripture and a Prayer: “May the Lord Bless You”

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26)

Prayer:

Lord, as we, Your people, move forward in Your calling for this day, I ask that You would bless us, that You would keep us upon the ancient path, that is, in the good and right way. And Lord, may Your face always be towards us, as we trust in Your constant presence that You will never leave us or forsake us. And that Your grace will guard and protect our lives and give to us what we don’t deserve, Your blessing, and not what we deserve, which is Your judgment. And finally, Lord, please extend to us Your peace that surpasses all understanding and guard our hearts through Christ Jesus our Lord. And this I ask in Jesus’s name. AMEN
