Daily blessings and prayers from Scripture.

Jeremiah 31:3 The LORD has appeared of old…saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.”

Colossians 3:9-10 You have stripped off the old self with its practices 10 and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its creator.

Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:14-15 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

Romans 12:9 Let love be without hypocrisy.

Ephesians 5:1-2 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; 2 and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you…

May you support your brother in the day of his misfortune, not rejoicing in his distress, but providing succor, shelter, defense, and encouragement, for the Day of the Lord is near, and as you have done, it will be done to you. Obadiah 1

May you join the multitude in worship in the Spirit before the throne of God, in the splendor of His majesty, giving glory, honor and thanks to Him Who sits on the throne and Who lives for ever and ever, submitting all power and authority to Him and proclaiming His holiness and worth to receive praise as eternal God and Creator. Revelation 4

Receive My grace, My child. Rest in it. My grace is sufficient for your needs, and I provide it without measure. Accept My grace, My beloved. It is My daily provision to you.
I know your frame, that it is dust, so do not walk in pride or arrogance, rejecting My grace which strengthens you, but humble yourself under My mighty hand. Even as I take you through pressing trials that reveal hidden sins in your heart, I also provide grace that allows you to do My work.
Do not think it strange that you can minister to others from My Word through My Spirit and then be called before My throne to weep for and repent of an attitude, choice, or behavior that circumstances have brought to view.
You are salted by My grace, and as salt preserves by killing infection, My grace covers you as you grow into maturity. Draw closer to Me, dropping burdens and leaving baggage you have been carrying. Become more familiar with My voice, gaining wisdom through experience. Be shaped into My image as your nature is cleansed and purged.
Thank Me for My work in your life, because your praise, lifted up during the fiery ordeal, when salted with My grace, brings a savory aroma to Me. See with the eyes of faith the work of grace, knowing that My plans are to do you good and to give you hope. Rejoice with Me in the fellowship of My suffering, as many brethren are brought into the perfection of maturity.

May your hardships in the service to, and the name of, the Lord be remembered. Psalm 132

May you sing for joy as you walk in righteousness, for the Lord is in your midst. Psalm 132

May the Lord be enthroned, as He desires, in your heart, which He has chosen for His dwelling forever, uniting you with the rest of His body into one, forever and ever, where He can pour out His blessings abundantly, clothing His enemies with shame. Psalm 132

May you trust in the Lord and be kept safe, releasing the fear of man which will prove to be a snare to whomever retains it. Proverbs 29:25
