Daily blessings and prayers from Scripture.

Proverbs 13:20 He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.

Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the one … 2 … whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on His law day and night. 3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season, and whose leaf does not wither — whatever they do prospers.

Acts 5:42 Every day in the temple and at home they did not cease to teach and proclaim Jesus as the Messiah.

Luke 9:23 [Jesus] said to them all, “If any want to become My followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow Me.”

Proverbs 31:8-9 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. 9 Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.

Lamentations 3:22 The Lord's lovingkindness indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail.

May your conduct and practices be aligned with God's Word, guided by His Spirit, and obedient to His will, so that He will be able to judge you according to your behavior and repay you for all your practices with compassion, and spare you from His anger which is the portion of those who reject His Word and rebel against His Spirit, for then all will know that He is the Lord. Ezekiel 7

When the time arrives, may your reward spring forth; when the rod buds, may humility blossom and gentleness grow into a staff to comfort the weak and gather the flock, that they may live and rest in peace. Ezekiel 7

May you abide in the way of the Lord, the way of righteousness and justice, of mercy and compassion to others, for if you depart and follow your own ways, choosing your own destiny, creating your own standards, know that the Lord will deal with you according to your conduct, and by your own standards He will judge you, and beside Him, there is none righteous, no, not one. Ezekiel 7 Romans 3

May you submit your heart to the discipline of the Lord, yielding your desires unto the Spirit and humbling your thoughts before His Word, so that you may be shaped into a vessel of honor which is cleansed and fit to carry the glory of God, fitly joined together in the Body of Christ as a dwelling place for Him Whom even the heavens cannot contain. Ezekiel 8

May you grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done around you, for as godly sorrow works repentance, and you turn to God in humility, He will receive you, and mark you with His Spirit, putting His claim of ownership upon you, sanctifying and protecting you in the days to come as His anger is poured out upon the iniquity of society. Ezekiel 9

My child, the world fills itself with the arrogance of its iniquity. The hallmark of its citizens is the pride with which they display their disobedience to My Word, My law, My truth, My principles. They position themselves as the arbiters of what is right and wrong, good and evil, not understanding that the true choice is between life and death.
To do this is to call the Father a liar. To walk in the way of the world is to walk in unbelief, in faithlessness, to reject the love which He has demonstrated by allowing, by sending, Me to provide redemption through My blood for all of mankind who will accept it.
The heart of God breaks with sorrow over all who turn from the One who offers them the blessing of life, choosing instead to receive the punishment of death with the one who lies to them.
The enemy offers nothing that is not already promised and available from the Father; his lies simply blind some to the truth that all things come from the Father. They would rather believe that their own hands provided what they have, for pride is the downfall of many.
I have called you to Myself, My dear one, and led you on a pilgrimage through this world so that you may be My witness to those who choose to dwell there. It is your testimony to My transforming of your heart, your story about My interaction in your life, your demonstration of My love in your choices that will bear witness to what My Spirit is speaking to them day after day.
You are My epistles, written in flesh, for all mankind to read, just as My Spirit reveals the truth of My Word to the hearts of all people. I send you as sheep among wolves, as doves among serpents, yet I will put My fear in their hearts so you will not be harmed. Though the heathen rage, some will hear, and hearing, will be converted. Great will be the rejoicing in heaven, and great will be the reward for your obedience.

As God directs and leads you, may you deal gently with those who are being taught, or are going astray, knowing you yourself are subject to weakness, even as you have been gently and patiently dealt with by the Lord through His love and not His anger. Hebrews 5

May you come before the Lord in reverent submission, offering up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One Who saves you, knowing that He hears you, as you learn obedience from the sufferings you endure, and will use you in His harvest, for His purpose, to His glory. Hebrews 5

May you give thanks to the Lord and call upon His name, making known among the nations what He has done, as you sing praise to Him and tell others of all His wonderful acts so that His holy name is glorified and the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice as you look to the Lord and His strength, always seeking His face. Psalm 105

May you remember the wonders He has done, His miracles, and the judgments He pronounced, for He is the Lord your God, Whose judgments are in all the earth, Who remembers His covenant forever, confirming His blessing to His people, and the inheritance He has promised to those who love His ways and obey His word, not allowing His enemy to oppress His chosen, but rebuking principalities who try to touch His anointed ones, and preventing spiritual powers from doing His prophets harm. Psalm 105 Ezekiel 9
