Numbers 6:24-26 (NLT2) “May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD show you his favor and give you his peace.” This is a wonderful prayer to pray for your loved ones. In fact, this morning I’m praying this for my family, kids, and grandkids! I love that God’s favor can bring protection, grace, favor and peace. This verse really makes you want God’s favor. Don’t forget one of the ways we get God’s favor is to ask for it.
Personalize These Prayers Psalm 90:17 (NRSV) “Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and prosper for us the work of our hands— O prosper the work of our hands!” Psalm 119:58 (NKJV) “I entreated (asked, begged, requested) Your favor with my whole heart; Be merciful to me according to Your word.”

May the LORD smile on them and be gracious to them. May the LORD show them his favor and give them his peace.
Today’s Challenge:
Would you ask God for His favor on your life? Would you ask God’s favor on your family’s life? Do you feel you are being blessed and protected because of God’s favor? If you don’t feel you’re being blessed and protected, why not?
