May you hear God's voice and obey His directions so that like the rest of His creation, you will know when to take shelter and understand how to wait on Him, protected from the storm, not plunging on, headstrong as those do who fill their ears with other sources and take the bit in their teeth, believing themselves in charge of themselves.

May you be willing to serve God's will in His work, even as He has made you able, that by His grace, your intent may be to humbly follow where you are led, as the ox in the stall, and not to resist and take your own lead, as the wild ox does, who though given great strength, acknowledges no master. Job 39
Stand before Me, My child, with nothing to recommend yourself, save that which you have received from Me. Cast aside your status in the world, your reputation among men, your possessions and achievements, all that lends itself to defining yourself in worldly terms to others.
When you are facing a trial of your faith, what is there that you can lean on to make it through? Is there any strength in the world that has ever withstood the attack of the enemy? No, only those who receive My grace and repentantly turn from their own ways to receive My gift of salvation will ever find the footing and the bracing to endure the fiery trial.
When you are wandering and seeking direction, what guide can you find that is trustworthy and reliable to care for your needs and not lead you to their own advantage? None, save My own Holy Spirit who speaks of Me. He alone expresses My loving kindness and compassionate mercy to you, teaching you what is true, leading you in the ways of life, keeping you from that which produces death. Trust Him as you would Me, for I have sent Him to abide with you and bring you to Me.
Receive My free gift which comes through My grace, and be washed, sanctified, and justified in My Name and by My Spirit according to My Word, that you may stand, and having stood, you may do My will, thus receiving what I have promised.
May you believe, and therefore speak in the spirit of faith, because you know that the One Who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise you with Jesus and present you to the Father. 2 Corinthians 4

May you know that if the earthly tent you live in is destroyed, you have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. 2 Corinthians 5

May you live by faith, not by sight, making it your goal to please the Lord whether at home in the body or away from it, for you must appear, with everyone else, before the judgment seat of Christ, that you may receive what is due you for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5

May God rise up and help you, redeeming you because of His unfailing love, removing your disgrace and turning the favor of His face upon you. Psalm 44
