God Bless My Child's Hands to Bless Others

Proverbs 10:4, “ . . . Diligent hands bring wealth.” 

Father, You have given this young child two beautiful hands.

Hands to build, not to destroy.

Hands to reach, not to draw back.

Hands to give, not to hoard.

Hands to bless, not to afflict.

Bless his hands to fulfill Your purpose in his life.

Strengthen these hands for work; to be diligent in providing for his family.  Paul said, “ . . . rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.” (Ephesians 4:28)

Use his hands to reach to the feeble to lift them up and work eagerly for righteousness.

May all that he touches prosper.

Anoint his hands for healing.  When he lays his hands on the sick, may they recover.

Whatever his hands find to do, I pray he does it with all his might.  Then he will see evidence of Your blessing in it.

Let there be focus to his endeavors, touching only that which prospers and brings life.

As he opens his hands and puts them to the plow, provide all that is needed to finish the task set before him.

May he freely open his hands to bless others and to be that vessel which is always flowing.

In the name of Jesus---Amen
