Blessed are You, eternal God,
King of creation:
Bless my family who asks for your grace.
Let your Spirit guide our words and deeds,
so that our light may shine before all
and lead all who know us to give You praise.
May our home be filled with the spirit of love,
with the obedience of faith,
and the strength of hope.
Make our lives happy in Your service,
and bring us in Your love to your eternal home.
Amen.
