this is a prayer that lanny always prays over our children.
"the Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine
upon you and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance
upon you and give you peace."
-Numbers 6:24-26
i came across it today while reading and was just curious as to what some commentaries said about it. it is such a beautiful prayer. here's what i found:
"the priests were solemnly to bless the people in the name of the Lord. to be under the almighty protection of God our Saviour; to enjoy his favor as the smile of a loving Father, or as the cheering beams of the sun; while he mercifully forgives our sins, supplies our wants, consoles the heart, and prepares us by his grace for eternal glory; these things form the substance of this blessing, and the sum total of all blessings."
