Numbers 6:26 (AMP)

The Lord lift up His (approving) countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).

NLT:  ‘May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.’

John 17:20-23

“My prayer is not for them alone.  I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.  May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.  I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one:  I in them and you in me.  May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”

NLT:  “I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message.  I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you.  And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.  I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one.  I am in them and you are in me.  May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me.

Psalm 16:11 (NKJV)

You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

NLT:  You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.
