Daily blessings and prayers from Scripture.

Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

 

Isaiah 2:22 Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?

 

Psalm 33:10-11 The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.

 

Ephesians 4:31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.

 

Proverbs 4:27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

 

John 15:12 This is My commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.

 

May you remain confident in the ability and the willingness of the Lord to perform His promises, guiding you to their fulfillment, and defending you from the forces and their agents who will try to invalidate the outcome, even as He did for Abraham. As the Lord restored the youthfulness of Sarah in order to bear Isaac, Abimelech saw her beauty and took her, but God prevented the question of Isaac's paternity from being an issue. So also will the Lord make certain that the promise He has given you will not be questioned but that He will be honored when it comes to pass. Genesis 20

 

May you be prepared by walking close to God to pray for those who have exercised physical or worldly authority over you to your loss or harm when God directs you. This is not the way of the world or the method of the strong, yet it demonstrates a strength not found in the world that overcomes the world. Genesis 20

 

May you look beyond the daily responsibilities and mundane tasks in the natural that preoccupy your attention and demand your time and strength, just as Isaac's parents did. Instead, allow the promise of God to bring joy to your heart and laughter to your life, that all who hear of it may praise God for His love toward you. Genesis 21

 

May you be willing for God to make a separation in your life, even when you cherish what must leave, entrusting God to be Lord in His own way. Genesis 21

 

May you not hold tightly to the promises God gives, lest you allow them to replace God as the center of your life and the focus of your heart. Genesis 22

 

Walk under the banner of My righteousness, My beloved, and know the effectiveness of My protection. The width and breadth of My victory is without end, and the strength of My truth will not run out, for I am your God. 

Do not consider how your weakness might affect the outcome or feel concerned about the sin that so easily besets you, for in My love, I have made provision for that. I have forgiven all that you confess and cleansed all that you repent of, and I have brought you into right standing with the Father, Who has granted His Spirit to abide with you always, banishing fear and doubt in the light of His glory and the joy of His love. 

Raise the banner I have given you and take courage, for I am with you and will perform the promise I have made to you. Be certain that your cup will overflow, for I fill it from the shoreless ocean of My blissful delight.

 

May you understand that it is not what you do that you will be judged for, but for why you do it, for though you prophesy in His name, driving out demons and performing many miracles, unless you are doing the will of the Father in heaven, you will be cast aside as an evil-doer. Matthew 7

 

May you be like the wise man who built his house on the rock and weathered the storm, for unless you put the words of the Lord into practice, you will not stand through the storm. Matthew 7

 

May you praise the Lord with all your heart when you tell of all His wonders, and sing praise to the name of the Most High as you rejoice and are glad in Him. He turns your enemies back so that they stumble and perish before you, having judged righteously from His throne when He rebuked the principalities and destroyed the wicked with endless ruin so that they are not even remembered. Psalm 9

 

May you trust in the Lord, Who is a refuge for the oppressed who need a stronghold in times of trouble, for those who know His name and seek Him have never been forsaken. He will reign forever, having established His throne from which He will judge the world in righteousness and govern the peoples with justice, never ignoring the cry of the afflicted. Psalm 9

 

May you walk in the ways of godly men and keep to the paths of the righteous, for the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it; but the wicked will be cut off from the land and the unfaithful will be torn from it. Proverbs 2:20-22
