(Numbers 6:24-26) Lord, thank You for these words You gave to Moses as a special blessing to us, Your children. I speak this blessing over my friend, ___, today as a “thank you” for all they’ve done for me.  As I ask it in Your name, I know it will come to pass. Bless ___ beyond their wildest dreams. Protect them as they come and go. Smile so brightly on them that they feel the warmth of Your smile from Heaven. Be gracious to them as they learn life’s tough lessons. Show ___ favor in all their endeavors—unmerited, unexplainable, ever-abounding favor. Give them peace in which they continuously feel Your presence in their spirit, soul, and body. As ___’s smile and kindness has changed my life, may the blessings You bestow on them be ever flowing.  May they feel the warm of Your smile and pride in them each and every day. Amen.
