May the One who possesses all authority
be known to you this week.
May you know the One
who created the heavens and the earth
with just a few syllables spoken in darkness;
the One who came as a man
to speak words of life and healing
to the poor and sick and demon-possessed.
May the voice of the Almighty God,
our greatest authority and good shepherd,
be the voice that we seek to hear
and strive to follow always in faith.
May the One who speaks
words of eternal life,
who holds all things together
and pursues you in His love,
be the authority that shapes your path
and motivates each step you take
along the way.
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.
