Daily Prayer - For The New Year of 2011

22 Then the Lord said to Moses,23 “Tell Aaron and his sons to bless the people of Israel with this special blessing: 24 ‘May the Lord bless you and protect you. 25 May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. 26 May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.’

Num 6:22-26 (NLT)

And such is my prayer for you, as together we enter into yet another new year of God’s continuing history.

* May the Lord, our God, bless you with all things good this coming year

* May the Lord, our God, protect you, and those you love, from evil and sin

* May the Lord, our God, always smile upon you with delight in the precious child of God's creation

* May the Lord, our God, always be gracious unto you; showing you divine favor throughout this new year, and granting you peace each day of 2011.

Amen, and Amen!
