BENEDICTIONS
Mispah Benediction:
May the Lord watch between me and thee while we are absent, one from the other. Amen.
Ephesians 6:23 (Living Bible)
May God give peace to you and love with faith from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Jude 1:24-25
Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. To the only wise God, our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
May the triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit go before you to guide and direct you; walk beside you to comfort and encourage you; stand beside you to guard and protect you; hover over you to bless you and give you peace. Amen.
I Thessalonians 3:12
May the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow more and more and become as great as my love for you. Amen.
II Thessalonians 3:16
May the Lord himself, who is our source of peace, give us peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with you all. Amen.
Exodus 3:12
What has God asked you to do for him today? Where has he asked you to go for him? When God calls, not only does he provide the ability needed, he promises his presence as well. Go forth then, reassured, for He has promised you, “Without a doubt I will be with you.” Amen.
I Corinthians 13:3-8a
“If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind, Love is not jealous or boastful, it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful, it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bear all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, love never ends.” Amen.
I Thessalonians 5:23
May the God who gives us peace make you holy in every way and keep your whole being – spirit, soul and body – free from every fault at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20, 21
And now to Him who by means of His power working in us is able to do so much more than we can ever ask for, or even think of; to God be the glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus for all time for ever and ever. Amen.
