Since this morning’s message, I have been asked for a copy of the blessing I read for those who lacked the blessing from their own parents. I’ve put it here for your reference. I can’t say it’s unique to me, but is a composite from various things I came across.
Here it is:
TODAY, You are loved with everlasting love from God. You are well equipped with everything you need to fulfill your destiny as a child of God. Before the foundation of the earth, God Almighty planned for your life and planned for you to be who you are. Psalm 139 says that He created your inmost being. He knit you together in your mother’s womb. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. All the days ordained for you were written by God even before you were born.
I am beyond joyful that God has given you as a gift to the world and to his church. You are wonderful. I love you and bless you with the promises of God. You are His and have been set apart from the world for his holy purposes. I bless you with God’s everlasting love, wisdom, peace, and joy. I bless you with freedom from sin and power over temptation. I bless you with physical health and with the strength to work and prosper. I bless you with success in study. I bless you with an abundance of relationships. I bless you with reconciled relationships that have been broken. I bless you with a strong relationship with God. May you be strong in prayer. May you be powerful in worship. May you find yourself satisfied in the Word of God. May God continue to keep His hand of favor and prosper you in all that you do, and may you serve our Lord Jesus Christ all the days of your life. I bless you in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
