Ecclesiastes 4:6 Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.

Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

Isaiah 41:10 Do not be afraid — I am with you! I am your God — let nothing terrify you! I will make you strong and help you; I will protect you and save you.

May you prepare daily for the appearance of the Lord in you, His temple, as you desire Him to, giving heed to His Messenger, the Spirit, Who guides you into all truth and leads you in the way you should go. Malachi 3

May you realize that without preparation, you cannot bear to endure the day of His arrival or survive to keep standing when He appears, pure as a refiner's fire and strong as a launderer's soap, to refine and cleanse you. Malachi 3

May you understand that He is making of you an acceptable vessel for bearing offerings in righteousness, acceptable offerings to the King, Who is worthy. Malachi 3

May you see that though destruction is the reward of those who pursue it, the Lord does not change nor does He go back on His promises, and anyone who honestly and humbly returns to Him will find that He will graciously and acceptingly return to them. Malachi 3

May you revere the name of the Lord Almighty, for on the day that is coming all the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble in the furnace and not a root or a branch will be left to them as the sun of righteousness rises with healing in its wings, while you go out and leap for joy like calves released from the stall, trampling through the ashes which are the only remainder of the wicked on the day when the Lord does these things. Malachi 4

May you remember the law of the Lord's servant, Moses, for He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and hearts of the children to their fathers before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. Malachi 4

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the old and the new. I live in eternity and encompass all of time. I have created all there is, and will destroy all that has been. The highest heavens cannot contain me, but I dwell in your heart of praise. I am a burning, consuming fire of holiness, yet I gently bind up your wounds and embrace you with compassionate tenderness. I bring dreadful judgment and fearful sorrow to all who reject Me, and fill to overflowing with peace and joy and gladness the souls of all who find delight in obeying My commands.
I am all you need; find in Me your every sufficiency. Realize that you have only seen My back, and there is yet much to know and experience in My Word and Spirit. All that you have learned, and every way that you have grown in this year is but a foundation for what I will lavish on you in this next one. Do not “settle in” or expect the “same old same old” for I will overturn the routine and change up the process.
What I have led you in before will not always be the way to the next victory. Remain alert, watch closely, listen intently, for the battle to come is not the battle you have come through. Though you have never been this way before, I will lead you in the path that I have prepared. Trust Me and abide in Me, for I am your shelter and your rear-guard, your shield and protector, and I train your hands to handle each type of weapon needed for the different attacks the enemy will bring.
Submit to Me your rights, your ways, your opinions, your perspectives, and accept My vision and My wisdom, receive My truth and My power, and you will know My joy and My overcoming. I rejoice to give you all you need, for you are all I desire.

May you give thanks that there will no longer be any curse, and the servants of God and of the Lamb will serve Him, seeing His face and bearing His name on their foreheads. Revelation 22

May you be among those who never have to fear the dark, and never need a lamp, for the Lord God is their light as they reign with Him for ever and ever, having been blessed for keeping the words of the prophecy in the book. Revelation 22

May you share what you see and hear from the throne of God as you serve Him with your fellow servants, telling forth His Word, as you worship God with all who keep the words of this book. Revelation 22

May you wash your robes that you may be blessed with the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city, leaving behind those who draw their power from other authorities, who seek their own pleasures, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood, for this is the true and righteous testimony of Jesus, the Root and the Offspring of David and the bright Morning Star. Revelation 22

May you obey the Spirit and the Bride, Who call you to come and quench your thirst by taking the free gift of the water of life, that you, also, may cry with them, “Come, Lord Jesus!” Revelation 22

May you praise the Lord, wherever you find yourself, for His acts of power and His surpassing greatness, with whatever you have available, so that everything which has breath may praise the Lord! Psalm 150

May you please the Lord, as a wife of noble virtue pleases her husband, choosing to clothe yourself with strength and dignity, laughing without fear or concern at the coming day and what it may bear, for as you speak with wisdom and faithful instruction, you watch over the affairs of your household and do not eat the bread of idleness, causing those who know you, and the Lord, as well, to call you blessed, and to praise you for your continual reverence to God, Who will give you the reward you have earned, letting your works bring you praise at the city gate. Proverbs 31
