Ephesians 1:17-19  I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in His holy people, 19 and His incomparably great power for us who believe.  

2 Timothy 1:9  Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

Psalm 139:17  How precious to me are your thoughts,  God! How vast is the sum of them! 

Psalm 73:26  My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. 

Isaiah 26:13-14  O Lord our God, masters besides You have had dominion over us; but by You only we make mention of Your name. They are dead, they will not live; they are deceased, they will not rise…You have punished and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

Joshua 22:5  Only be very careful to…love the Lord your God and walk in all His ways and keep His commandments and hold fast to Him and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul. 

May you respect all offices of authority, without agreeing with any sins of the individual, for God may draw them by the honor you demonstrate, just as Abraham did not flaunt God's promise to possess the land when he asked to buy a burial ground, for the sins of the Hittites were not yet full and the promise was not yet ready to be fulfilled. Genesis 23

May you trust the guidance and provision of the Lord in the assignments and tasks He gives you, knowing that He will prepare the way and lead you in it to complete His purpose and show His glory. But remember that you are only responsible for obeying, not for the results. Genesis 24

May you walk closely with the Lord, reflecting His love and generosity to others, obeying the nudge of the Spirit, going the extra mile. That is how others will know you are His. Genesis 24

May you listen to the wooing of the Spirit of God as He makes much of the Son of God. Allow your heart to be drawn in love to One Who has shown undeniably that He would rather die than live without you. Genesis 24

   Release your heart into eternity with Me, My child, and abide with Me in the heavenlies. 
   Your feet will remain on the ground and your hands will continue to work in the earth, but your purposes and your goals will be from Me, not from the prince of this world system. Your ears will be able to hear My Spirit as life and healing and wisdom are spoken into your heart from the throne of the Father. Your eyes will gain the ability to see the glory of the Lord as it shines on the path you are to follow. 
   But you must grow into this, My love, through daily time spent alone with Me, in regular sessions of isolation from external voices, in periodic fasting from distractions, in special episodes of separation from the congregation, that you may practice the worship I give you and develop a taste for My presence. How will you spend eternity with Me if you cannot stay quietly thinking about Me for more than a few minutes? 
   As you grow in your love for Me and develop in your expression of worship, My joy will be revealed in your life to others and My presence will be felt by those around you. Come to Me that you may rejoice in Me and that you may share Me with others in your life.

May you bring your need before the Lord, confessing your belief in His ability to answer, so that He may demonstrate His willingness to answer. Matthew 8

May you express your faith in the Son of God before heaven and earth, acknowledging that He has the authority to speak the word and send the hosts of heaven to accomplish His command. Matthew 8

May you declare the praises of the Lord in the presence of His people and rejoice in His salvation with His saints, for in mercy He has lifted you up from the gates of death. Psalm 9

May you call on the Lord to arise, lest man should triumph, and judge the nations in His presence, remembering the needy and giving hope to the afflicted. Psalm 9

May you keep the commands of the Lord in your heart and not forget His teachings. They will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity. Proverbs 3:1,2

May you bind love and faithfulness around your neck and write them on the tablet of your heart that they may never leave you. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Proverbs 3:3,4

May you trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge the Lord and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5,6
