May you know that when you are poor and needy, parched with thirst, searching for living water to refresh your soul, the Lord will answer you, the God of Israel will not forsake you, but will make rivers flow on barren heights and springs within valleys, turning the desert into pools of water, and the wilderness into an orchard, so that people may see and know, consider and understand, that the hand of the Lord has done it. Isaiah 41
May you realize through the work of God in your life that the enemy of God is defeated and has become less than nothing with works that are utterly worthless, and anyone who chooses him becomes polluted; for the former things he reminds you of are cleansed and removed by Christ’s sacrifice, and the future things he warns you of are lies which never happen, intended only to make you fear, but instead are cast out by the perfect love of Jesus. Isaiah 41
May you be led by the Spirit of God, following the example of Jesus as a servant, delighting the Father with obedience, that He may use you to bring justice to the nations through the finished work of Christ, neither shouting or crying out in the streets, gentle with those who have been damaged, encouraging to those about to give up, faithfully persistent in His grace, neither faltering nor giving up until His work through you is finished. Isaiah 42
May you be willing to take the hand of the Lord, Who has called you in righteousness, for through Christ He will keep you and by His faithfulness to you show His covenant to the people and make His light shine through you to the nations, so that blind eyes will see and imprisoned captives are freed, and release is given to those sitting in the darkest dungeons, because the Lord is His name and He will not give His glory to another, or let His praise go to idols. Isaiah 42

May you not be afraid, for the Lord has redeemed you and summoned you by name, for you are His; He will be with you when you pass through the waters so the rivers will not sweep over you and the flames will not burn you when you walk through the fire, for the Holy One of Israel, your Savior, has given nations as your ransom and others in exchange for your life because you are precious and honored in His sight, and He has created you for His glory. Isaiah 43
May you be the Lord’s witness, and a chosen servant of His, so that you may know and believe the Lord, understanding that He is the One Who is God, with none formed before Him and none created after Him, and He alone is your Savior, Who has revealed, saved, and proclaimed, and when He acts, who can reverse it? Isaiah 43
My child, I tell you what is to come before it occurs, that you may know that I am the Lord.
I prepare for you a shelter when the sky is clear, so that when the wind picks up and the clouds start to cover the sky, you have a place to take refuge.
I place a person in your life as a dear friend, so that when you need a shoulder to lean on, they can show you My love.
I put a yearning in your heart that pulls you from your comfort zone and sends you searching My Word and praying to receive direction, so that when My servant speaks truth in your life, you know the witness of the Spirit which has been preparing you for the next step.
If you will look, My love, you will see and know that I have always been preparing the way for you, making provision for you, providing that which you will need in time for the need to be met.
Is there any other who has done this for you? Recognize Me as the majestic Lord whose direction is worthy of allowing your life to be disrupted for, whose Word is reliable enough to trust even when it does not conform to public expectations.
Know that I do not casually or lightly bring change to your life, My dear one, but when I hear your heart cry out for more of Me, I will not ignore your plea.
I will lift you to a higher plateau and show you a closer fellowship in the Spirit, giving you a more intimate relationship with Me and a greater revelation of the love of the Father. Realize that this will cause you to become more devoted to the needs of My people, which is the work of the kingdom, for this is the heart of the Three-in-One.
May you remember that, though you once followed the ruler of the kingdom of the air, gratifying the cravings of your sinful nature and obeying its desires and thoughts, by grace God gave you the gift of faith to be saved because of His great love for you and the richness of His mercy. He made you alive with Christ and seating you in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, that you may see the incomparable riches of His grace expressed in His kindness to you in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2
May you understand that you are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for you to do. Ephesians 2
May you recall that though you were once separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in His kingdom and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world, now in Christ Jesus you have been brought near through the blood of Christ, for Christ Himself is your peace, and through Him you have access, with all others, to the Father by one Spirit, joined together as the whole building rises to become a holy temple in the Lord, where God dwells by His Spirit. Ephesians 2

May you praise God with all the peoples for then the land will yield its harvest and God will bless you, and all the ends of the earth will fear Him. Psalm 67
May you forsake the wine of vintners and the drink of merchants, not seeking the fellowship of the world or the enjoyment of material things, and turn instead to the new wine of the Spirit and be infused with the joy of the Lord wherein there is no indiscretion or reckless abandon, but only considered wisdom and patient endurance with gentle long-suffering towards others. Proverbs 23:29-35 Ephesians 5 Galatians 5
