A List of Biblical Blessings To Pray Over Others.
On December 31, 2023 I taught on ‘The Blessing of God’ from Number 6:24-26. It is probably the most famous biblical blessing. But there are many others in the Scripture. We periodically use each of these different blessings as the benediction/blessing at the end of our meeting. I am giving them here as a guide you can print as your pray or speak these over others. You can also use them as a guide in praying for your own needs before the Lord.
In Christ,
Bret
