Hi everyone. No, you’re not seeing double – I’ve posted twice today! I didn’t manage to say exactly what I needed to say earlier, but have just had some wonderful inspiration, so here is version 2…

A blessing
*The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-6; NIV).

Lord,
Please bless me today –
Keep me close to you,
Make your face shine on me,
Be gracious to me
And give me peace,
So that I might reflect,
However dimly,
Your blessing, 
Your closeness, 
Your grace, 
And your peace
To all those
I have contact with today.

In Jesus’ holy name,
Amen.
