I like the prayers of the Bible that begin with \u201cMay the God of \u2026\u201d. Paul\u2019s prayer of this sort at Romans 15:5-6 is about God creating unity and together praise Jesus Christ. Here are some more prayers like this of a blessing sort:
\nMay the God of<\/strong> hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Rom. 15:12).
\nMay the God of<\/strong> peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep (Hebrews 13:20).
\nEli answered, \u201cGo in peace, and may the God of<\/strong> Israel grant you what you have asked of him.\u201d (1 Sam 1:17)
\nDavid went out to meet them and said to them, \u201cIf you have come to me in peace, to help me, I am ready to have you unite with me. But if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free from violence, may the God of<\/strong> our fathers see it and judge you\u201d (1 Chron. 12:17).
\nMay God<\/strong> himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thess. 5:23).
\nListen now to me and I will give you some advice, and may God<\/strong> be with you (Exod. 18:19).
\nMay God<\/strong> give you of heaven\u2019s dew and of earth\u2019s richness\u2014 an abundance of grain and new wine (Gen. 27:28).
\nMay God<\/strong> Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and increase your numbers until you become a community of peoples (Gen. 28:3).
\nMay God<\/strong> be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, Selah (Ps. 67:1).<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
