Psalm 139:2-3 [O Lord,] You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You discern my thoughts from far away. 3 You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.

Matthew 10:32-33 Jesus said, “Everyone therefore who acknowledges Me before others, I also will acknowledge before My Father in heaven; 33 but whoever denies Me before others, I will also deny before My Father in heaven.”

2 Corinthians 5:17 So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!

2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.

Psalm 42:1 As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for Thee, O God.

Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

May you understand beforehand, and realize prior to the occurrence, that the time of testing will surely come, and it will come upon the righteous and unrighteous alike, causing every heart to melt and every hand go limp, every spirit to faint and every knee to be as weak as water, for what the Sovereign Lord declares will surely take place, so that all people will know that the Lord is the one doing it; but do not forget that though the sins of the land must be punished, His reward is with Him and the exalted shall be brought low and the lowly shall be exalted – those whom He brings home will be received with joy and those who continue in His harvest field will be strengthened. Ezekiel 21

May you walk in the honesty and integrity of the Lord, not using your strength or reputation or connections to treat others with contempt, ignoring their needs, oppressing the weak, despising the holy things of the Lord, but remembering Who the Lord is, and searching out His will in humility, sorrowing over the violence done in His name, sharing the joy of His promises with others, strengthening the hands of the weak that they may endure and see the salvation of God. Ezekiel 22

May you set your sights on the high promise of God, not settling for the achievements of your own strength and wisdom, just as men refine ore to get the silver from the rock, leaving behind the copper, lead, tin and iron; although the other metals are good, useful, and have value, they pale in comparison to the precious value and incomparable worth of silver, just as the redemptive work of Christ is beyond compare to any wealth or power man can achieve. Ezekiel 22

May you distinguish between the holy and the common in all you do and say, teaching and demonstrating the difference between the clean and the unclean, not white-washing the unjust deeds of the rich and powerful, but making a distinction between the Word of God and the words of men, however noble, giving honor to the ways of God over the ways of the world, for then the Lord will have the person He looks for to build up the wall and stand in the gap before Him with intercession. Ezekiel 22

This is My desire: to see you draw near with a hunger and a desperation inside that burns like a fire in your bones and gives you no rest until you hear from Me.
Give Me no rest until I answer you; I delight in My children pursuing Me relentlessly, persistently, determinedly, refusing to release Me until they have My answer.
I *will* answer the heart that approaches Me like this, coming in boldness, asking in confidence, receiving with thankfulness, and sharing in humility, for those who walk in My Spirit, and those who express My nature, will be asking on behalf of others, knowing that their own needs have already been met by My willing, abundant, compassionate provision.

May you walk in the knowledge that sacrifices and offerings are not, in themselves, what God wants, nor are they sufficient in themselves to meet the needs of your shortcomings, but rather seek to do God's will, gladly, joyfully, eagerly, humbly, obeying Him in all He leads you, for at times you will have abundance to share and at times you will receive from others, but neither abundance or want, action or stillness, speech or quiet are important, but only your obedience to the will of God. Hebrews 10

May you wake the dawn with your praise to the Lord, singing and making music with all your soul and with a steadfast heart before the nations and among the peoples, for the love of God is great, higher than the heavens and His faithfulness reaches to the skies. Psalm 108

May you exalt God, Who is above the heavens, Whose glory is over all the earth, for He saves you and helps you with His right hand, that those He loves may be delivered when He speaks from His sanctuary, giving you aid against the enemy and trampling down His foe, as you gain the victory with God, disregarding the help of man, which is worthless. Psalm 108

May you walk in prudence and take refuge when you see danger lest, like the simple, you keep going and suffer for it. Proverbs 27:12
