Remember this:

Our Heavenly Father, we ask for Your blessing upon us; we thank You that we have this great power, this wonderful wisdom, this deep insight, this flow of abundance surging through our lives, blessing us in every way and, through us, helping and serving mankind. Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
Lord, bless my family with the abundance of Your spiritual blessings. Grant us Your peace and prosperity as we serve You together.
Father God, I ask that you bless my coming and going today. Be before me, behind me, and beside me – protect me and move me toward that which will bring me closer to You. Loving Father, bless my family with peace today. In Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen.
May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He smile on you and be gracious to you; may He look your way and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26
