Well, how can I meaningfully bless my children before bed?

I love this question.

It is from a dad named West.

Hello Pastor John.

Thank you for this podcast.

My question is about blessing my children.

I have three boys, six and under among the household duties that I regularly assume is

bedtime.

I have since each was born saying, Jesus loves me to them every night.

Thousands of times inserting their names into the lyrics.

I'm stunned at the impact this little song has, even when a child is melting down and

revolting against being put to bed, they will not let me skip this song.

Additionally, I pray for each song as well.

Now, I have decided to give each of my boys a blessing.

It will be given to them nightly, and it must be theologically rich since it will be memorized

by them throughout the years.

There are so many biblical truths I want them to understand and carry on into adulthood.

I can't seem to find the right words or scriptures to incorporate them all.

If you were writing or selecting a blessing for your son to carry throughout his life,

how would you do it and maybe more specifically?

What truths would you want them to hear every night, Pastor John, what would you say to

West?
