Psalm 6:3  My soul is in deep anguish. How long, Lord, how long? 

2 Peter 3:9  The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

Ephesians 4:15  Speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

Proverbs 2:3-5  Yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, 4 if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. 

Acts 4:29  Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable Your servants to speak Your Word with great boldness.

Judges 5:31  …let those who love Him be like the rising of the sun in its might. 

May you not compromise the Word of God before those who resist the grace of God. Stand firm on the unchanging scriptures, always offering uncritical acceptance of the person while God works in their life and their heart, but continue to walk in the light you know. Exodus 10

May you always seek God, not to be rid of the judgment, but to be cleansed of the sin that brought the judgment. Exodus 10

May you recognize the hand of God which gives you grace in the eyes of others who, though in the realm of spiritual darkness, see the light of God in your life. Exodus 11

May you be confident of the distinction in your life and affairs, your blessings and circumstances, that is made when the Lord sends His ministering angels throughout the world and the mark of the blood of Jesus is seen. It is recognized and acknowledged by all spiritual authorities and powers, since He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Exodus 12

May you be thankful for the grace God has given you and the promises God has provided you, not comparing yourself with others or judging your blessings by them, for each person stands or falls before the Lord according to their own heart toward the work He has given. Matthew 20

May your desire to excel provoke you to serve many, for those who would be great in the kingdom of God must be the servant of all. Matthew 20

   I am the righteous Judge of the world and the loving Teacher of My people. 
   My judgments are just and true for each side, for I judge the needy to be worthy of mercy, the poor to be worthy of compassion, and the rights of the widows and orphans to be deserving of defense, even as I judge those who steal from the poor to be worthy of punishment and those who take advantage of all who call on My name to be deserving of My anger. 
   But do not mistake My judgment upon persistent evildoers for My ongoing training in your life, My child. You are never the object of My wrath, nor does My anger run hot against you. All of My work with man is to turn him from evil, and the goal of My striving with man is redemptive. 
   Those who practice evil as a lifestyle and continue to resist My grace will find themselves enmeshed with the sources of spiritual wickedness for whom judgment is intended. But as you have sought Me, I have accepted you and am changing you from glory to glory. 
   See beyond the events and behold My purpose. Look past the efforts you must exert and glimpse My love. Those who reject Me, I have rejected, but each who seeks Me will find that I never leave them, even through all that they face.

May you lift your soul to the Lord and trust in God, for He will not let you be put to shame or allow your enemies to triumph over you. Psalm 25

May the Lord show you His ways and teach you His paths, guiding you in His truth and teaching you, for God is your Savior and you place your hope in Him all day long. Psalm 25

May the Lord remember His great mercy and lovingkindness which has always been toward you from the very beginning, rather than the lapses and frailties of your youth with your transgressions and rebellious ways. Psalm 25

May the Lord remember you according to His tender mercy and steadfast love, for He is good. Psalm 25

May the Lord instruct you in His ways and guide you in what is right. All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful for those who obey Him, and every path He guides you on is fragrant with His lovingkindness and truth. Psalm 25

May you reverently fear and worship the Lord, for then God will instruct you in the way chosen for you, and you shall live in God's circle of blessing; your descendants will inherit the land. Psalm 25

May you reverence the Lord, for friendship with God is reserved for those who do, and with them alone He confides the secrets of His promises. Psalm 25

May you learn from the labors of the ant, and by considering the ways God has taught them, receive wisdom for yourself. Proverbs 6:6

May you rise from your sleep and your slumber, and go forth about your work, thereby avoiding the poverty that would approach as a robber or your want, that like an armed man, would make you helpless. Proverbs 6:11
