As we begin a new year together, Mother of the Bride, may I pray these blessings from the Word of God over you? I want the very best for you this year as you prepare for one of the best days in the life of your family. So from me to you —
“‘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 6:24-26 NIV
“May the LORD answer you when you are in distress . . . May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.” Psalm 20:1, 4 NIV
“May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” 2 Corinthians 13:14 NIV
“May the God of peace . . . equip you with everything good for doing his will . . .” Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV
“Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way.” 2 Thessalonians 3:16 NIV
Amen and amen. Have a blessed 2023 and a blessed wedding celebration!
