Brother *****, in the name of Our Beloved Savior, Jesus Christ, and with the authority of the Melchezidek Priesthood, and as an ordained Patriarch in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints active in the _____ Stake, I lay my hands upon your head to give you a Patriarchal Blessing.

Dear *****, the Lord loves you very much. You are a very special person. Through the eons of time in the pre-existence, you developed and honed many skills, abilities, and talents. You have been sent to use these in this life and in eternity. I bless you to fulfill the measure of your creation in all things. You fought with Michael in the war in Heaven against Satan and tossed him out of the kingdom. For that reason, Satan remembers you and desires to have you. You will use your gift of the Holy Ghost to discern truth from error, to recognize Satan in all his disguises and not be a victim to evil schemes or plans to take you away from the Gospel.

The Holy Ghost will give you warnings about danger and ordinary trials of life or service for the country so you will have time to prepare and remedy the problem to save life, limb and property. During your life, you will receive miracles, gifts of healing and understanding. I bless you to use your gifts to help others. You will see miracles in your own family. You will escape some trouble by thinking carefully and choosing the right.

You are very quick witted and have impetuousness needed for quick action in short-term situations. Use this ability wisely through your life.

You will use your Priesthood to grow in knowledge of the scriptures and gospel. You have the gift of diversities of administration. You will teach others. As you learn precept upon precept the gospel standards, you will receive assignments and callings to help you grow in the Gospel. The time will come when you will be a mighty person in Zion. You will heal the sick, bind up wounds, mend broken hearts and counsel for the Lord. You will go on missions for Heavenly Father. You will be successful in all these things.

You will travel to exciting and different places. You will use your language skills, some of which you are already learning, to use in a mission to gain another culture, understanding and viewpoint on life. This will help you through life.

I bless you to receive a wonderful education. You have great talents and skills with words, art and music. You have ability in journalism, photography, communication and announcing. You will use these for a career or avocation. Heavenly Father has blessed you with many abilities. You have skills in mathematics and science. You can combine all these things to become what ever you desire.

Heavenly Father loves you. You will collect on these promises and blessings by being obedient, keeping the commandments, reading the scriptures, reading good books, telling the truth and living the law of chastity. Listen to your parents and Church leaders and stand ready to serve other men and women. You can do these things happily and well.

You can endure long hours of hard work in service, life activities and to achieve your goals.

I bless you to attend the Temple to receive ordinances and to take covenants with Heavenly Father. You will enjoy the Temple and understand the ceremonies and their effect on your life. You will enjoy being in the Temple enough to return often to work for others, to complete family histories, and to do sealings for family and friends. You will return to the Temple to be sealed for eternity to a lovely partner you have deemed worthy by the way she treats other people. I bless you with children born in the covenant. As a father in Zion, you will teach them how to succeed in society, to work in the Church and to keep their baptismal covenants. You will teach them how to pass by the guardians on their way to the Celestial Kingdom. All these great blessings are in store for you ***** because the Lord loves you.

You will enjoy family life. You will have a gospel home with music, art and other fine blessings. It will be a home for children to be safe. Your table will never be empty as long as you are welcoming and share with others. There will be other children in your home. They are outside the covenant temporarily. They will become yours for eternity. You will understand these things when they come about.

You will live a long and happy life. You will have wonderful gardens and animals in your home. You are a good cook and enjoy cooking. You will teach cooking and gardening to others. You will have time to do all these things.

I bless you to come forward in the Morning of the First Resurrection. You will be crowned with Priesthood, glory and honor and enter the Celestial Kingdom wearing white robes. You will receive a white stone from Heavenly Father to help guide you through eternity. You will receive a mansion from Heavenly Father. You are destined to be a king in the eternities with the royal blood of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in your veins. You are entitled to kingdoms, thrones, dominions, principalities, powers, riches, eternal lives and exaltation. You will learn to build other nations and worlds in their proper order with the Savior.

*****, you are of the tribe of Gad. I bless you to know this special tribe is reserved for the latter-days. You will have important assignments through this tribe. You will recognize other tribes intuitively because you knew them in the Pre-existence. You will help them join the stakes of Zion in this life. You will have important leadership callings. You will feel the mantle of leadership and authority. You will be present for Church construction and in the groundwork for Church projects. You will deal with the Church curriculum for correction and properly distributed to the general population.

Again, I tell you ***** the Lord loves you very much. In the near future, you will work on your patience and understanding until they are perfected and you can use them to help others.

I send you forth with this blessing and the love of your family and Heavenly Father in the name of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen
