May you not act in haste or emotion to resolve a problem by exercising final judgment, lest you move ahead of God and perform your own works by your own wisdom, for you will be known by what you do, as was Moses after killing the Egyptian. Exodus 2

May you offer courtesy and respect to others, providing defense and encouragement to resolve the dispute, not end the disputer, as did Moses when rescuing Jethro's daughters. Exodus 2

May you not cease to bring your situation and distress to the Lord, for He will hear your prayers and remember His promises and look upon you with loving care. Exodus 2

May you realize that you will be most suited for the work God gives you when you have the greatest knowledge of your own weakness and failure, for then you will know enough not to turn to your own strength and understanding, seeing them as unreliable and falling short of the need but will turn to the Lord for the abundance His work requires and will never be disappointed in Him. Exodus 3

May God rescue you from the hand of your oppressors and slave drivers as you cry out to Him, for He is concerned about your suffering and will bring you into a good and spacious land, flowing with milk and honey, and will be with you as you drive out the wicked inhabitants who occupy the land now. Exodus 3

May you continue to obey the Lord, step by step, though each step appears to fail, for the Lord will make Himself glorified in the sight of men, bringing victory from what appears to be defeat. Exodus 3

Matthew 17

May you trust in the Lord and let the Lord rescue you, for the Lord will deliver you since He delights in you. Psalm 22

May the Lord not be far from you when trouble is near, for there is no one else to help. Psalm 22

May you trust in the Lord, Who is enthroned as the Holy One, the Praise of Israel, for He will deliver you when you cry to Him, and you will not be disappointed. Psalm 22
