May The Lord Bless You

An ancient bible blessing suitable for sending to a friend to let you know you are praying for them:-


Get well soon prayer

May you have rest and peace in your heart.
May angels surround your bed through the night.
May each day bring healing with the dawn,
Restore your energy, and heal your wounds.

As you find new strength and make a new start.
I pray you'll soon be well,
To love and live and enjoy life again.

Amen.

and until we meet again, 
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

and be gracious to you;

From head to toe, I'll bless his holy name!
O my soul, bless GOD, don't forget a single blessing!

He heals your diseases-every one.
He redeems you from hell-saves your life!
He crowns you with love and mercy-a paradise crown.
He wraps you in goodness-beauty eternal.
He renews your youth-you're always young in his presence."
