Dear Kelsie,
As your father, I want to bless you with a life-long prayer rooted in the Scriptures. May these words of blessing bring comfort, encouragement, and guidance to you throughout your life:
May the Lord bless and keep you; make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; may the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. (Numbers 6:24-26)
Kelsie, may you always trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
May the Lord be your refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. May you not fear, even if the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea. (Psalm 46:1-2)
Kelsie, may you seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, knowing that all these things will also be given to you. (Matthew 6:33)
May the Lord bless you with wisdom and understanding so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way. (Colossians 1:9-10)
Finally, Kelsie, may you always remember that God fearfully and wonderfully makes you and that nothing can separate you from his love. (Psalm 139:14, Romans 8:38-39)
With all my love and prayers for you,
Dad
