May you know that though the Lord remain quiet when you seek Him, and though He looks on from His dwelling place without taking action, He is not sleeping nor has He forgotten or abandoned you, and nothing of the world will triumph over you permanently nor will anything from the enemy be victorious over you in their attacks, for though you be cast down, you will not be deserted or destroyed.

May you abide in the Shoot that comes up from the stump of Jesse, that Branch which is rooted in the Promise of the Father, so that you may delight in the respectful obedience to the Lord and rejoice in His Spirit.

May you ever seek for the humbling enlightenment of the Spirit, always desiring to see with the loving eyes of the Lord, praying to hear the shattering voice of God in your heart, that you would not be given up to the delusion of comfort, but know and fear the awesome, shaking power of God, that you, and those of like heart, may understand and turn and be healed through His precious, divine mercies.

May you be plain in speech and transparent in behavior toward others, not lifted by pride or turned by arrogance lest the gospel of Christ be disgraced, demonstrating God's compassion towards the poor and needy while withstanding the servants of God's adversary, whose end will be what their actions deserve.

May your obedience be complete before the Lord, that you may wage war, not as the world does but with weapons that have divine power to demolish spiritual strongholds which set up arguments and pretensions against the knowledge of God, and take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ

May you sow generously, giving what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, but cheerfully, as pleases the Lord, for then you will reap generously as God makes all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work

May your eye never have enough of seeing the majesty of the Lord in His creation, nor your ear its fill of hearing the Word of God. Ecclesiastes 1
