May you ever walk in the newness of the life of Christ Who, having suffered for your redemption, has sent the Spirit to abide with you, that you may be ever washed clean, though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Numbers 19

   My child, know that you are a part of something larger than yourself. 
   I have called you, and redeemed you, and grafted you into the True Vine, giving you to drink of the living water which springs from the one true Source. I have given My body to be living bread to be shared by each one who knows My touch upon their spirit and cherishes My truth within their heart. 
   Look beyond your limits and see the larger scope, glance to the horizon and view the vast scale of My plan. Understand that you are connected to the innumerable hosts that not only span the globe and include every tongue, but extends through time and covers all ages. Then you will begin to see how broad is My grace, how wide is My mercy, how deep is My sea of forgetfulness, how abundant is My compassionate love. 
   I know you in intimate detail, My dear one, not simply because I am God and know all things, but because you are precious to Me and I am filled with joy when I consider you, the one I have made, the one I knitted and formed in your mother's womb, assembling your parts and determining the color of your hair and your eyes, planning the path you would take and making preparation for what you would need at each point in your life. 
   Understand that I am capable of meeting your need, and know that I am not short on resources. Rest in My love, trust in My care, know that I am with you today, and remember that I change not. 

May God be merciful to you when others hotly pursue you, pressing their attack all day long, slandering you and attacking you in their pride. Psalm 56

May you trust in God, Whose Word is worthy of praise, for mortal man can do nothing to you that you need to fear; though they twist your words and plot to harm you, conspiring and watching your steps as they lurk, on no account will God let them escape. He will bring down the powers that motivate and influence the people, and give the individuals a chance for repentance to receive forgiveness. Psalm 56

May you know that God is for you when your enemies turn back as you call for help. Psalm 56

May you present your thank offerings to God for He has delivered you from death and your feet from stumbling that you may walk before God in the light of life. Psalm 56

May you be rescued from trouble by the Lord as the righteous are. Proverbs 11:8
