May you accept and embrace the just and loving discipline of the Lord, Who will not completely destroy you, though those around you utterly perish, for the Lord is with you and will save you. Jeremiah 30
May you realize that although your circumstance has no solution, your cause has no advocate, your friends have forgotten you, and your guilt has brought these things upon you, the Lord your Redeemer, Whom you are trusting and to Whom you are praying, will restore you to health and heal your wounds, causing those who devour you to be devoured, those who plunder you to be plundered, all who make spoil of you He will despoil, and all your enemies will be exiled, because you, the one He cherishes, are called by them “outcast,” and you, for whom He has given everything, are called by them “uncared for.” Jeremiah 30
May you rejoice in the Lord and sing songs of thanksgiving, for He will renew His blessings upon you and refresh His compassion toward those you love, restoring relations in your life to their proper order, and He will add to your numbers, not decrease them, bringing honor to you rather than disdain, punishing all who oppress you, and giving you authority over all that pertains to you, as you obey the Lord in humility, quiet yourself before Him, and devote yourself to be close to Him, choosing to be His, and continually acknowledging Him as your God.

May you make your praises heard as you sing with joy, and ask the Lord to save His people, for He will bring them from the ends of the earth, including the weak, the burdened, the wounded, the helpless, weeping as they come, praying as they return, and He will lead them beside streams of water on a level path where they will not stumble, for He will be a Father to them, and they shall be His beloved children. Jeremiah 31
My child, see to it that your ways are pleasing to Me. Endeavor to walk in the Spirit so that you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Let My Word dwell in you richly and My peace rule in your heart, so that whatever you do, in word or in deed, it will be done in My Name, with thanksgiving to the Father.
Know that as you do this, My child, you will rouse up antagonism against your witness to My glory and your testimony to My holiness. As you declare My righteousness through your obedience to My Spirit, I will convict the hearts of those who are watching your life; some will desire the same relationship with Me that your walk demonstrates and gladly draw near, while others will resent the light of grace and salvation which removes their excuses for remaining in the darkness where they can hide their sins.
I am near to you as you walk in humility before Me and rejoice in My name, even as I vindicate you by My justice. Though you see enemies among men rise up against you, breathing out threatenings, be not afraid, neither change your focus from Me to them, but remain steadfast in your walk before Me. I am the Lord, and I will make all who resist Me to see the error of their ways.
Though David, even after Samuel anointed him, feared in his heart that he would perish by the hand of Saul, did I not keep David safe and fulfill the promise of My word to him?
Did I not constrain Laban from touching Jacob, even after pursuing him with all his men and hired hands? Was it not I who subdued the wrath of Esau and made him willing to greet Jacob in a brotherly manner rather than with a sword as he had threatened? Who else could have converted such a furious adversary into a fellow worker and brother as I did with Saul of Tarsus?
Walk in faith before Me, My love, with trust in My leading and confidence in My provision, and you will see your enemies made to be unto you the quiet, companionable comforts through the night that the lions were to Daniel.
It is in My Name, and by My Word, that when you meet the last enemy, death, you will find that your peace will be the greatest, for he who has been the source of so much fear to all mankind will have become My steward, My guide, fulfilling his assigned duty to gently escort you into My presence and joy everlasting.
May you proclaim the word of the Lord, wherever you are, saying that He will gather those who love Him, those who obey His Word and sorrow over sin in the land, and He will watch over them like a shepherd, for the Lord will ransom each of His own and redeem them from the hand of those stronger than they, causing them to come and shout for joy in the presence of the Lord as they are set free from the bonds of iniquity and rejoice in the bounty of the Lord, for they will be like a well-watered garden, knowing sorrow no more. Jeremiah 31
May you be blessed with comfort and joy from the Lord instead of sorrow as He turns your mourning into gladness, and He satisfies His servants with abundance and His people with His bounty. Jeremiah 31
May you restrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded according to the sure and trustworthy promise of the Lord, for as He causes you to return from captivity by the enemy, so He gives you hope for your future, declaring that your children will live in the freedom of the Lord’s promises. Jeremiah 31

May you lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing. 1 Timothy 2
May you adorn yourself modestly, as each member of the bride of Christ should, with decency and propriety rather than outward ornamentation, and with good deeds, appropriate for all who profess to worship God, learning in quietness and submission, and continuing in faith, love, and holiness with propriety. 1 Timothy 2
May you recognize that the fountains of joy in your life are derived from the time you spend searching the Word of God and in prayer to the Lord, seeking the presence of Him Whose Spirit brings grace and consolation to your soul. Psalm 87
