Daily blessings and prayers from Scripture.

John 12:24 I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.

Luke 1:38 "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her.

Luke 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

May you diligently obey the Lord your God, that He will bring you help and support even from places far away, for then you will know that it was the word of the Lord Almighty that came to you. Zechariah 6

May you test the traditions and rituals that you have been taught, and seek for whether the truth of the Lord is in them, that you may follow the Lord more closely and honor the Lord more deeply by turning your heart to His ways and following His purpose because of His love for you, as you administer His true justice, showing mercy and compassion to one another, caring for the widow and fatherless, the foreigner and the poor, rejecting any evil thoughts about each other that come to your heart. Zechariah 7

May you listen closely when the Lord calls, so that when you call to the Lord, He will listen to you. Zechariah 7

May you receive and persist in the victory that overcomes evil in the many forms it takes and through the many ways it approaches, that you may sing the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb, confessing the greatness of the Lord God Almighty and proclaiming the justice and truth of His ways, so that all will fear Him, giving glory to the One Who alone is holy, and before Whom all will worship. Revelation 15

My love, My Spirit is hovering over you to join you to Me that we may be one; day by day, through the unseen but unavoidable process of development and maturing, My Spirit will bring forth, in both image and nature, that which is known, by word and by deed, as the Body of Christ, capable of bringing praise and showing honor to Me, the Head, Jesus Christ.
Do not fear the pain and discomfort you feel, for the changes being wrought within you are the shifting balances and altering priorities that are needed. Do not worry that you do not know what the next step is – simply value, daily, the seed that is planted, and cherish, always, the connection of relationship that is established. Flee persistently from, and reject repeatedly, any deed or thought in your heart or mind that dims the spark of life that brings you so much joy.
Find delight, continually, in spending time reading My Word and giving time to praying in My Spirit, for that strengthens, builds, and brightens the light and the glow of the life which is growing in you and becoming ever more obvious to others.
Even those who have not known you before will be able to see that you bear within you a new life which, though some seek to shame or belittle you for, will be for the deliverance and the joy of many who will be brought to Me.

May your cry for mercy come before the Lord, Who hears your prayer and, in faithfulness and righteousness, comes to your relief. Psalm 143

May you remember the days of long ago, meditating on all the works of God and considering what His hands have done, beseeching His mercy and thirsting for His loving-kindness, trusting the morning to bring you word of His unfailing love for which you have put your trust in Him. Psalm 143

May you lift up your soul to the Lord Who rescues you from your enemies and shows you the way you should go, for you find your refuge in Him. Psalm 143

May you learn to do His will as He teaches you and leads you on level ground by His good Spirit, preserving your life for His name's sake, and bringing you out of trouble in His righteousness, silencing your enemies and destroying all those who afflict your soul because of His unfailing love toward you, His servant. Psalm 143
