May you place obedience to the will of God above personal preference, knowing the blessings and benefits which come through the loving care and the gracious guidance of the Lord. Numbers 36

May you rejoice in the assurance that though you experience trouble and endure affliction, that the Lord is constantly with you, in control, and will bring you out, knowing how long is enough and having no desire to try you beyond what is redemptive. Deuteronomy 1

May you be confident in the ministry of those who seek God on your behalf, even as you bring others to the Lord in prayer and supplication, desiring to see God's victory in their life. Deuteronomy 1

May you make much of the Lord before others, for He has forgiven you of much before the Father. Luke 5

May you walk in the liberty of the Lord, Creator of all, to do the service and offer the ministry He directs you in, not bound by man's traditions, but obedient to the Living Word, not subject to the lusts of the flesh but meeting the needs of the daily bread, not seeking the purposes of the enemy of God but bringing life to the hearts of others from the throne of God. Luke 6

   My child, come up here to Me. 
   Do not dwell in the world, but rise above it to the heavenlies and find your life and your joy with Me. 
   Do not be discouraged at the struggles you face, for that is the path I have placed you on. Only those who are yielded to, and compliant with, the obsessive demands of the flesh and the restless selfishness of the carnal mind will avoid the struggles you encounter, for I am delivering you from the powers that once held sway in your life. 
   Continue to follow My voice, My love, and heed the guidance you receive through My Word as it is witnessed by My Spirit in your heart and confirmed through My Body, and you will see the results as you grow and mature in Me. 
   When you receive the Light of My Truth convicting you in your heart of the works of the flesh, do not justify or defend yourself, but confess it to Me, accept that truth, and permit Me to deal with what is wrong. 
   The path of salvation is not one that you know, but I will guide you on it. I know every step of it, My dear one, for I have formed it for you. I, the Lord, glorious and awesome, take delight in serving as your guide and travel companion. 
   Rejoice in My presence, even as the painful process runs its course, for though you are blind, unable to see your own weaknesses and fallacies, I am with you to lead you and heal you, that you may see more and more clearly as you come out of darkness and into My light. 
   Receive the knowledge and riches I bring to you, and walk in agreement with Me, the King of kings, no longer grieving the Spirit of God Who dwells within you. 
   Allow Me to make you holy unto Myself, even as I am holy, that others will no longer see you, but will see My touch in your life and read My truth in the epistle of your heart.

May you shout with joy to God, singing the glory of His name and making His praise glorious, for His deeds are awesome and His power is great. Psalm 66

May you come and see what God has done and how awesome are His works in man's behalf! Psalm 66

May you praise God and let the sound of His praise be heard, for He has preserved your life and kept your feet from slipping. Psalm 66

May you tell all who fear God what He has done for you, for He has not rejected your prayer or withheld His love from you. Psalm 66

May you prosper, as a generous man does, and as you refresh others, may you be refreshed, yourself. Proverbs 11:25

May you gain, even as you give, rather than coming to poverty as one does who withholds unduly. Proverbs 11:24
