Aaronic blessing


24 " ' "The LORD bless you
and keep you;

25 the LORD make his face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;

26 the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace." '

27 "So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them."

~Numbers 6:24-27
(New International Version)



Here's another opportunity to pray Scripture over your neighbors, friends, or loved ones. Try this:


LORD bless ________________
and keep them;

Reveal Yourself to them and let them know how much You love them, Lord
shower them with Your grace;

Look favorably on them and smile on them
and give them Your peace, Lord.

Put your name on them as Your precious child and possession, and bless them.


And here's a Psalm that you can sing or pray alone or in a group as a form of worship:

Psalm 67

1 May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face shine upon us,

2 that your ways may be known on earth,
your salvation among all nations.

3 May the peoples praise you, O God;
may all the peoples praise you.

4 May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you rule the peoples justly
and guide the nations of the earth.

5 May the peoples praise you, O God;
may all the peoples praise you.

6 Then the land will yield its harvest,
and God, our God, will bless us.

7 God will bless us,
and all the ends of the earth will fear him.
