Daily blessings and prayers from Scripture.

Psalm‬ ‭119:143‬ ‭ Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet Thy commandments are my delights.

Ephesians 1:4 God chose us in Christ to be holy and blameless in God’s presence before the creation of the world.

Isaiah 29:19 The afflicted also will increase their gladness in the LORD, and the needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

1 Corinthians 12:18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as He wanted them to be.

1 Corinthians 12:26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

Psalm 19:12-13 Acquit me of hidden faults. 13 Also keep back Thy servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not rule over me; Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be acquitted of great transgression.

May you not condemn others to justify yourself, and may you place your hand over your mouth when God speaks, for who can reply to Him, but to praise and honor Him, for He is just. Job 40

May you seek, and accept, the deep and convincing communion with the Lord which effectually humbles your heart and makes you willing to part with even the most desirable sins, as Job melted in godly sorrow when the Spirit of truth brought him to repentance. Job 40

May you keep in your mind the understanding that no one, including you, has a claim against God that He must pay, for He is wholly just, and everything under heaven belongs to Him. Job 41

May you recall that God can do all things, and remember that no plan of His can be thwarted, lest you speak of things you do not understand and which are too wonderful for you to know. Job 42

Though your ears have heard of the Almighty, once your eyes have been opened to His majesty, may you humble yourself and repent in dust and ashes before Him, that He may place you as He chooses. Job 42

May you pray for those who stand against you, those who give poor comfort and misrepresent God in your time of distress and extremity before Him, as you patiently endure and willingly press in through the trials and testings to draw near to God the Lord. Job 42

Lean on My arm, My child, if you truly accept and believe that you are spiritually blind without My Spirit to give you light. You say you need My help to get through the day, so what action do you take as a result?
Ask Me for wisdom, My cherished one, if you truly understand that you are lacking what you need for the decisions and challenges that this day will bring. If you have honestly realized that is what you require to safely navigate the hazardous waters, full of hidden rocks and dangerous shoals, from sunrise to sundown, then act accordingly by searching for My wisdom in My Word and opening your heart to My Spirit of wisdom by prayer.
There is no shame in admitting what you lack; there is only shame and disgrace if you do not act to remedy the problem when you have been shown the way to what you need, and given the means to receive full measure of what you require. To start out in error is understandable, My love; I am here to guide you, so do not let pride cause you to end up in error.

May you take every opportunity to be thankful for what God has done in your heart rather than to take pride in what can be seen. 2 Corinthians 5

May Christ's love compel you in all you do to try to persuade men, since you know what it is to fear the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5

Since Christ died for you, and you now live, may you live no longer for yourself, but for Him who died, and was raised again, for you. 2 Corinthians 5

May you no longer regard anyone from a worldly point of view, for if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation since the old is gone and the new is come! 2 Corinthians 5

May you, as Christ's ambassador, accept the message of reconciliation which God has committed to making through you as He appeals through your imploring to others to be reconciled to God that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5

May your heart be stirred by a noble theme as you recite your praises to God the King, letting Him use your tongue as the pen of skillful writer, and your pen as the tongue of a skillful orator. Psalm 45

May you love righteousness and hate wickedness with the passion and zeal of the Father, for He has anointed you with the oil of joy. Psalm 45

May you be willing to forget your people and your father's house, for the King is enthralled by your beauty; therefore, honor Him, for He is your Lord. Psalm 45
