Daily blessings and prayers from Scripture.

Psalm 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; 24 And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.

1 Peter 2:19 For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God.

Philippians 4:8 Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.

Lamentations 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; 23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

1 Peter 5.8-9 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

May you be gracious to those who have hated you and spitefully used you, actively seeking your harm. As you love God and follow His leading, submitting to Him as Lord and yielding yourself as a servant to the King, you can know that God works all things, including what was meant for harm, for the good to accomplish the saving of many lives. Genesis 50, Romans 8

May you prosper in the Lord as you share God's Word even while your spiritual enemies seek to oppress you, and may you multiply and spread the knowledge of the Lord even as the principalities and powers of the air seek to make your life bitter. Exodus 1

May you fear God and obey Him rather than obeying what the powers of the world say to do, just as the midwives to the Hebrews in Egypt did in disobeying Pharaoh. Exodus 1

May you trust God in the face of opposition and impossible choices, for He is eternally creative, even to turning the house of the enemy into the source of the solution. Exodus 2

May you receive that rock-solid revelation from the Father in heaven that Jesus is the Chosen and Anointed One, sent from God. For upon that firm foundation He will build His dwelling place and abide with man with all His authority. Matthew 16

May you see that although Peter was used by Satan against the work of Jesus on the cross, open rebuke resolved it, whereas Judas stayed silently in the background and never let it be revealed in the light. Matthew 16

May you lose your life for Christ, that you may find it, for there is nothing that you can give in exchange for your soul. The Son of Man will reward each person according to what he has done. Matthew 16

May you listen to the Son of God, for the Father loves Him and is well pleased with Him. Matthew 17

Run into My arms, My dear one! Do not hesitate or consider, but come! My arms are open to you and My heart is desirous for you.
Find the shelter you need beside Me. Find the comfort you desire with Me. Find the strength you require in Me. However far you feel you have become from Me, simply turn. You will find that you are right beside Me, and I hear every word of your heart.
I am your Creator – I have made you and know every aspect of you, and you bear the marks of My presence as a painting bears not only the expression of the image in the artist's mind, but also the brush marks exhibit the mastery of his technique.
I am your Redeemer – I have paid to the last farthing, and more, the exorbitant ransom price demanded by the enemy who treacherously gained legal title to you, My creation, for the sole purpose of expressing his anger and hatred of Me through the ones I love best. I paid willingly and with joy, for you are worth it, and I would rather die than live without you.
I am your Lover – I know you intimately and long for you to know Me just as you are known. My heart's desire is toward you and for you, and I am drawing you so that you will desire Me as much. I have accepted you completely and have made preparations fully to allow you to inhabit the holiness of eternity with Me.
I wait now, expectantly, as My Spirit dwells in you, shaping you, bringing you to Me. Yield to Him, submit to Him, listen to Him, for He will speak to you of Me, sharing with you the treasures I have given Him for the one whose heart yearns for Me as I do for you.
Come, run into My arms, for I hold nothing back from all who do.

May God grant you eternal blessings and make you glad with the joy of His presence. You trust in the Lord and through the unfailing love of the Most High you will not be shaken. Psalm 21

May the hand of the Lord lay hold on all your enemies and seize your foes. For at the time of His appearing He will make them like a fiery furnace, and the Lord in His wrath will swallow them up and His fire will consume them. Psalm 21

May the Lord be exalted in His strength, as you sing and praise His might. Though His enemies plot evil against His people and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed for God will make them turn their backs when you aim at them with drawn bow. Psalm 21

May you pay attention to God's wisdom and listen well to His words of insight. In this way, you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge. Proverbs 5:1-2
