Clearly, many of us are being pressed in on many sides. The enemy is on a rampage. So I wanted to offer this prayer (below) on your behalf, using God’s words and promises to bless and encourage you.
About a week ago, He gently dropped this concept in my soul . . . it’s a fusion of words from 2 Corinthians 4 and things prompted in my spirit, all are anchored by the three-line Hebraic Aaronic Blessing—but fleshing out the Hebrew for deeper understanding.
The Aaronic Blessing (Birkhat Kohanim) is from Numbers 6, the words God commanded Moses to give his brother Aaron and the Cohen (priests) to bless Israel. Believers in Yeshua (Jesus our Messiah) are grafted into the eternal family of God. While there are specific promises to Israel, God’s covering and promises through Messiah are yours.
For you, precious prayer warriors . . .
When you’re hard-pressed, pushed down, and your body and mind are suffering . . .
יְבָֽרֶכְךָ֥ יְהוָֹ֖ה וְיִשְׁמְרֶֽךָ
May Adonai bend down (bless “barak”) and spiritually and physically guard/watch over (shamar) you, ardently, fervently like a faithful shepherd over you, a beloved sheep in His chosen flock.
And when darkness is pushing in and discouragement begins to overwhelm you and your faith is being shaken at every turn …
יָאֵ֨ר יְהוָֹ֧ה פָּנָ֛יו אֵלֶ֖יךָ וִֽיחֻנֶּֽךָּ
May Adonai’s face—his glorious being, his glorious presence (panav)—radiate/shine/beam (yair) on you with grace (chen), a needed gift born from His mercy and pardon that releases His favor and blessings on you.
And when your life seems off-course like a battle-weary ship drifting on turbulent waters with no safe harbor in sight . . .
יִשָּׂ֨א יְהוָֹ֤ה פָּנָיו֙ אֵלֶ֔יךָ וְיָשֵׂ֥ם לְךָ֖ שָׁלֽוֹם
May Adonai raise (yisah)—His face/countenance, his glorious presence (panav) toward you. He will not hide His face from you . . . so you can behold His glorious inner being (panav), His character, reflected in His countenance (panav) . . . in a genuine, loving eye-to-eye, soul-to-soul connection.
And may He release (yasem) to you, give you, His shalom, His wholeness, that fullness of being you need for every part of your life . . . so that you may know what it means to walk in, walk with, and walk beside your God, your Deliverer, your King of Glory, and STAND.
B’shem Yeshua (In Yeshua’s Name).

Prayer: God’s presence to overshadow and guard her. Gracious Father, King of life, we continue to pray that your holiness and deep love for Annora will release the power of the cross within her mind, body, soul.

Request: We’ve prayed for eight-year-old Cayson back in late March (for an IV insertion and CT scan) and in early May (for a pediatric surgeon consult). Thankfully, he’s doing well but needs prayer because his parents (based on the surgeon’s recommendation) are leaning toward him having surgery—possibly in July—to remove the mesothelial cyst that was discovered on his diaphragm, behind his liver. If not removed, the cyst will continue to grow.
Prayer: God’s covering, complete healing, excellence over the medical team. Gracious Father, thank you for your hand sheltering Cayson, for your watchful eye over this medical situation, for your perfect plan, for your love through every step of this decision, procedure, recuperation, total healing.

Please lower your holy garments to cover Ev through each phase of the diagnostics and possible heart ablation procedure.

Psalm 91:14
Because he has loved Me, I will save him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.
Request: Toni is home, her blood sugar levels are better, nowhere near as escalated as before. She seeks God’s presence, ongoing healing, strength, and guidance.
Prayer: God’s gentle voice leading the way and His healing touch comforting her. Abba, you know the road isn’t easy down here, but knowing you changes everything.

May your purposes and calling on her life be realized. In Yeshua’s holy name.

One who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will lodge in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!”
Request: Pat has begun his chemo-and-radiation treatment cycle for his newly diagnosed bladder cancer. Pat needs God’s mighty protection, enduring strength, and sweet encouragement.
Prayer: God’s tangible presence like never before. Mighty King, please release glory-healing from your throne so it flows like a cascading waterfall over Pat’s body and soul. Ease his fears, lift up his face to behold your countenance, your caring eyes, your wondrous power of love that overcomes the darkness. Breathe your shalom throughout his soul. In Jesus’s redemptive Name.

Please cover Tony every moment with your protection, your strength, your endless love . . . and draw him and his family even further into your holy tent where there is sweet rest, ongoing healing, and overflowing joy in You. In Jesus’s incomparable Name.

Prayer: May God arise. Lord, you are majestic in all your ways. May your love, wisdom, and light that drives out darkness and confusion step into these believers’ lives and deepen their faith in you and mature their soul.

(guidance and stability in work, finances, health), and L.Q. (new ministry and work paths, provisions, God’s leading).

Prayer: God’s grace and compassion. Thank you, gracious Father, for all you’ve done in Andrea’s life. You know the current struggles, the heartaches, and now the worries over Mindy and the doggie family. Lord, we know these dogs are yours, your creation that you love. Please gather them in your arms of life and breathe healing and shalom over and through them. And may your shalom embrace Andrea and bless her with your calming, restful presence.
