Priesthood Blessing — Ceremony Overlay

By the authority of the Melchizedek Priesthood, and in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, we lay our hands upon your head to seal the anointing and to pronounce a blessing. Our Heavenly Father is mindful of you. He knows the desires of your heart, the pain you carry, and the faith with which you have come seeking His help. We bless you that your body may be strengthened and healed according to His will. May the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ flow into your life, bringing relief from affliction and renewal of spirit. We bless you with peace in your mind and comfort in your soul. May you feel the presence of the Holy Ghost resting upon you, calming your fears and lifting your burdens. We bless you with courage to endure trials and with assurance that you are not alone—that angels are round about you to bear you up. We bless you with clarity in your thoughts, that you may know the Lord’s will for you and recognize His hand in your life. We bless you with patience and hope, that even in times of waiting or uncertainty, you will feel His love guiding you forward. We bless your home and family, that they may be strengthened as they support you, and that together you may feel unity, love, and divine protection. May your faith increase, and may you be a light to others who are in need, sharing the testimony of God’s goodness and mercy. We seal these blessings upon you, according to your faith and the will of the Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
