May Christ our Lord be at the heart of all that you do.
May He be your first thought as you wake each morning,
and the One on whom you lay your cares to rest each night.
When trials come your way, may God bless you
with a knowledge of how He is working;
but when you do not see clearly,
may the Holy Spirit guide you back
to the living hope we hold in Christ.
May any suffering that comes your way
never be a result of your misdeeds,
for it is better to suffer for doing good
than for doing evil.
In all of this, may you submit to the will of God,
knowing that He works all things together
for the ultimate good of those who love Him.
May your words and deeds serve to tell the story
of all that Christ has done in your life.
May your life direct others to hope in Him.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up His countenance to you and give you peace.
