May the Lord make you strong and be pleased with the work you do. May you find favor in the sight of the Lord and may He know you by name. May the joy of the Lord be your strength. May your house be built by wisdom and may understanding make it secure.

The Book of Blessings

God is the Author of all blessings. As we study His Word, many examples become evident. Once upon a time, blessings were spoken in the home on a daily basis. But somehow, this practice has waned throughout the 2,000 year history of the Church. The responsibility now belongs almost exclusively to the clergy.

The Book of Blessings reintroduces this observance to impact others with the language of God. As we study and restore the priestly duty of blessing by all believers, we will discover the profound influence it can have on our families, our congregations, and our society.


What People are Saying

"How would you like to pray applicable blessings over friends and family members on a daily basis for every situation?? This book is wonderful!! The index which sorts out blessings by category makes it easy to find the right prayer for any and every situation. And full of scripture! Enjoy!" - Dave, musician (Columbus, OH)



Blessings for Godly Speech

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. (Proverbs 15:1, NASB)

Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a word appropriately spoken. (Proverbs 12:11, CJB)

Our words can affirm others or condemn them. We can either speak words of life or words of death. Speech is a powerful tool that we must develop to be used for good, not evil. As ambassadors of God, our language should reflect His love, His wisdom and knowledge, and His message of redemption and hope. We have the ability to communicate the value our Father has placed in each and every person.

Each time we open our mouths, we are given the opportunity to say something that will bless and not curse. We can have an impact on ungodliness in our society with the things we say. May we be a beacon for the Lord by allowing Him to shine forth through the words we speak.
