May you always confirm the majesty and glory of God and confess Him as the abundant Source and gracious Giver of all good gifts when you minister to those around you in obedience to His Word and in the power of His Spirit through the authority of His Name. Daniel 2
May you always remember that God is not a respecter of persons. His will is done the way He sees fit through those He chooses, not because of “worth” or “devotion” but for His own glory and the accomplishment of His purpose. Daniel 2
May you understand that you do not need to defend yourself before men in the matters of God, but only obey the Lord, for God is able to defend, protect and save you from the hand of men and the will of devils. Even if He does not, God’s truth, which you follow and bear witness and testimony to, will still endure and stand strong, as Jesus showed when crucified. Daniel 3, 1 Peter 4
May you be assured that the face of man’s fury and heat of man’s anger can affect the circumstances you endure, but God is the Creator of all things and declares the boundaries that will not be crossed when a tongue or hand is raised against His own. For though the fire may burn the bonds that tied you, it will not touch the righteousness of Christ that clothes you, and that which was meant to destroy you will result in greater blessing for you. Daniel 3
May you be clear-minded and self-controlled, earnest and disciplined, calm and thoughtful, alert and aware, that you may wake up to the meaning and method of prayer, since the end of all things is near. 1 Peter 4
May you, above all, love each other sincerely, fervently, and deeply, even as the Lord loves you, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4
May you offer hospitality to one another without grumbling, and use whatever gift you have received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms, whether speaking, speak as though with the very words of God, or serving, serve with the strength and joy God provides, that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ, to Whom be glory and power for ever. 1 Peter 4

May you be aware that if you suffer, not as a criminal, or even a meddler, but as a Christian, you do not need to be ashamed, but praise God that you bear His name. 1 Peter 4
May you realize that it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God. Those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good, understanding that if it begins with those who have been accepted into the family of God, what will become of those who do not obey the gospel of God? Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, go forth and seek to persuade all men to turn to the Father. 1 Peter 4, 2 Corinthians 5
May you who are elders serve as overseers of God’s flock because the love of God impels you to willingly give yourself to their care, not because you must, nor because of money.

When the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the overcomer’s wreath of celebration that will never fade away, unlike a flowered wreath bestowed by man on conquerors. 1 Peter 5
May you clothe yourself with humility toward one another, humbling yourself under God’s mighty hand that He may lift you up in due time, knowing you can cast your cares on Him because He cares for you. 1 Peter 5
May you be self-controlled and alert, for your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. 1 Peter 5
May you be aware that after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, to Whom be the power for ever and ever, Who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 1 Peter 5
My child, I am ready to give you ears to hear the truth of the Word as the Spirit hovers, ready to lead you in the way, step by step.
This is how your testimony of Me develops, My dear one. As you are a witness to My faithfulness, My abundance, My trustworthiness then, by speaking what you know and sharing My Word, faith rises up in those who have their spiritual ears. For as I open ears to hear, I am giving faith to receive from Me all that you and those who hear you have need of, My precious one.
Seek Me that the muffling veil of the flesh will be removed from your heart, My little one, and your mind will be aligned, tuned, clear of the static of the world to receive My spirit of revelation. This will open the lines of communication between us, so that you can walk in fellowship with Me as I have longed for you to do.

May you realize and confess that if His law had not been His delight, you would have perished in your affliction. Psalm 119
May you never forget His precepts, as though you could, for it is by them He has quickened you, granting and preserving your life. Psalm 119
May you submit yourself to Him, for you are His; you have sought out and inquired of His precepts, requiring them as your urgent need, therefore He will save you as His own. Psalm 119
May you thoughtfully ponder and consider His testimonies and statutes, meditating on them, even though the wicked wait for you in order to destroy you. Psalm 119
