The lady sitting across from me in the Bible study class said she always prayed a blessing over her husband before they retired for the night, yet lately, she felt like she was saying the same thing each evening. There’s nothing wrong with repeating prayers if they are sincere; God knows our hearts.
Since this wife was genuinely concerned, I wrote Numbers 6:24–26
on a note and passed it to her, saying I had read the passage that morning, and
it blessed my heart: “The Lord
bless thee and keep thee; the Lord
make His face shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee. The Lord lift up His countenance upon thee
and give thee peace.”
What better way to honor someone you care about than by praying God’s
favor on and His protection for them, that He be pleased with and merciful and
compassionate towards them; give His approval of and grant well-being and
tranquility? It’s also a blessing we can ask of our heavenly Father for
ourselves.
