Prayer for Blessing

My Lord, I kneel before You in prayer, my heart like an open book, my soul thirsty for Your blessings. Like You bless the land with merciful sun and rain and make the seed germinate in the bosom of the Earth, bless my whole being with the rain of Your mercy and the sun of Your love. Bring out good seeds of faith, hope and love and help them grow into fruitful trees.

The man who is blessed by You has nothing to fear. The man whom You bless is richer than the richest kings of the world. For Your blessings are like a spring of living water, forever flowing, never running dry. Bless me and my family and all my loved ones, so that we can feel Your loving presence everywhere, in and around us, like a warm breath of air breaking the cold winter, like a circle of light breaking the darkness of the night.

Bless me with health, comfort and joy, but above all, bless me with love, peace and wisdom, and with the strength and courage to face everything this life brings. Bless me and my loved ones in countless ways, in ways full of power and wonder, in ways worthy of Your glory. And never let go of our hands, but see us through the journey of our lives and beyond, into Eternity.

AMEN
