Blessing Prayer Collection
The
blessing prayers that follow are used as part of Journey
Toward Wholeness,
a healing retreat for women. These blessing were taken
from
Blessing Your Spirit
by Arthur Burk and Sylvia Gunter. I adapted the prayers
slightly to fit our situation.

this website. Read more about this fine
resource.
Friday
Evening Blessing Prayer
Dear Ones, Your
Father designed you to experience a vast number of joys
that are legitimate, good, and wonderful.
I bless you, my sisters, with your lives being full of many
different kinds of joy. I bless you each with the greatest
joy that comes from experiencing the presence of God in
your spirit.
I bless each of your spirits as a sanctuary, not a war
zone, a safe place, a place where you are visited by the
Holy Spirit, where He broods over your spirit and you
become intensely familiar with the presence of God with
you.
I bless you with sensing His presence watching over your
life.
I bless each of you, my sisters with fullness of joy in the
night watches as the Spirit of God ministers to your
spirit.
The nighttime is the first fruits of God’s creation.
Therefore, it is holy.
I reject and break off of you every claim of the enemy to
the night hours.
I proclaim that it is God’s holy time when He
delights to visit you and to minister to you.
I bless you with experiencing His presence in the night as
your subconscious mind and your spirit are open to the
Spirit of God, so He can minister to your spirit while your
conscious mind is not cluttering up the works.

Final
Blessing Prayer
Dear Ones, you
are under the protection of God who can do the impossible.
I bless you with peace that comes from God who created
light in great darkness, who brings light into the very
shadow of death.
I bless you with knowing that God makes peace regardless of
your circumstances.
You are living in troublesome days, when governments of the
world are turning frequently to war, when terrorism is
increasing and there is much uncertainty.
Although you are living in a sober time in history, you can
walk in the light because God decrees that the light of His
presence shines in darkness.
I bless each of you my sisters, with not being dependent on
circumstances in your world, but receiving from your Father
the peace that He offers in your life, no matter how dark
it is around you.
I bless you with peace that an only come because the Prince
of Peace rules you.
I bless you with an anointing for taking the peace of the
Lord Jesus Christ to those who do not know it, as an
overflow of your life. When you walk in this peace, the
peace of those around you will increase, although they
carry turmoil.
I bless you with being known as someone who carries the
peace of God with you everywhere you go, so that people
will seek you out because they are so desperate for the
peace of God.
