Daily blessings and prayers from Scripture.

Ecclesiastes 5:4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.

Matthew 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, He is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations;

Proverbs 6:23 For this command is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and correction and instruction are the way to life,

Hebrews 13:16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

Psalm 34:5 They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed.

May you know the truth of God's ability to bring life back into the hopes you have had and the dreams He has given you, even though you feel it is too late to ever happen, or that you have kept His promise from being realized by your choices or actions, for He is not through with you, but will graft you onto the true Vine and what appeared to be a dead stick will bud, leaf, and bear fruit, and you will know that it was the Lord who has spoken it and His hand which has done it when He puts His Spirit in you. Ezekiel 37

May you believe the Lord will fulfill His promise to mend the split and repair the division that has existed in your life for so long that you cannot imagine it changing; for just as He promised one king over the houses of Ephraim and Judah, so He will heal the rift under the one Head of the Body of Christ, never again to be divided, but cleansed of the sin and given a new heart and a new spirit, made into His dwelling pace and sanctuary forever, and He will be known as the Lord. Ezekiel 37

May you not be fearful nor be terrified by what you see happening, for when you are dwelling in safety and living at peace with your neighbors, the Lord will draw others out who are determined to take advantage of you, coming against you, persecuting you, seeking to loot and plunder you, for they do not see any defenses to stop them from stealing what God's blessings have brought you; He will show you what is in your heart, whether to walk in His way or depend on the arm of flesh, that you may turn to Him and be cleansed and walk closer in His Spirit, even as His hot anger is poured out in judgment on those attacking His beloved, showing His majesty, power, and holiness to many nations, so they will know that He is the Lord. Ezekiel 38

May you be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires; therefore, ridding yourself of all uncleanness and evil excess, humbly receive the implanted Word, which is able to save you. James 1

May you not deceive yourself by merely listening to God's word, but do what it says, for anyone who listens to His word, looking intently into the perfect law that gives freedom and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it, he will be blessed in what he does. James 1

May you keep a tight rein on your tongue, lest you deceive yourself with worthless religion, for God our Father accepts your ministry as pure and undefiled if you take care of orphans and widows in their affliction, and you keep your soul from defilement by the world. James 1

Do not be afraid, My child, when you see shaking begin, for I will bring it to the institutions of the world, the structures of society, the elements of your life, and even the physical features of the earth.
In the world, shaking will separate, isolate, and break what is shaken, but in My kingdom, shaking will bring together, consolidate, and strengthen that which is of Me, removing all that is of the world.
Allow My Spirit to draw you closer to Me in love, My dear one, for then fear, which has to do with punishment, will have no place in you, and you will be stable and firmly grounded in My Word.

May you not show favoritism as a believer in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, for if you treat two brothers differently on the basis of their clothes or worldly wealth, have you not made divisions within the Body of Christ and used a corrupt standard to make judgments? James 2

May you realize and recall that God has chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him. James 2

May you speak and act as one who is going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful, since mercy triumphs over judgment! James 2

May the faith you claim lead you into works of love, for just as your faith is a gift from God, so is the love that gives life to the faith you walk in, since either faith or works, if alone, is dead, but together they bring the power of life in God. James 2 Ephesians 2 Matthew 5

May you praise the Lord with all the nations and extol Him with all the people, for great is His love toward us and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Psalm 117
