Proverbs 1:29,31 Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD ... they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.


Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless.

May you come aside when He calls you for a time of reflection on Christ and all He has done in your life, celebrating Who He is by partaking the Word, bare and straight, broken and ground, without the leaven of the world, the distractions of life, and celebrate the new start and full freedom from fear that He has provided to you. Exodus 12


May you, in faith, take the blood which Christ has provided you and sprinkle it on the door frame of your heart, making your life an acceptable abode for the Lord, knowing that the destroyer will pass over as you dwell in the presence of your King. Exodus 12


May you rehearse the mercies which the Lord has shown to you that His praise may continue and your faith may be strengthened as you look forward through your circumstances to the promises He has given you. Exodus 12


May you consider the justice of God's judgments, and the fellowship of His sufferings, as God is touched by the pain of our circumstances, for though the Hebrews for many years were required to cast their male children in the river at birth and the Egyptians lost their first-born sons all in one night, God also gave His Son to an agonizing death for the sake of those who hated Him and had to watch as Jesus endured the pain of the crucifixion and grave. Exodus 12


May you acknowledge the grace of God which is extended to all who are willing to give up their worldly affiliations and loyalties to other authorities, submitting themselves to God and professing faith in His Son, Jesus, regardless of how different they look, sound, or act. Exodus 12


May your speech and behavior brand you as God's own unique people as surely as though He had branded His mark of ownership upon your hands or your head. Exodus 13


Give Me those things which you treasure and value, My child. Yield and submit to Me that which you love dearly above all else and that you defend with vigor against any who seek to touch them. 

Let Me take the hurt that you shield from healing, and the fear that you keep safely hidden from theft. Give me the worry that keeps you company in the lonely hours and the anxiety that you have grown so familiar with. 

Allow Me to pull out the deeply-rooted growth of bitterness that you have cultivated with your tears for so long, and trust Me to excise the growth of jealousy which has entangled itself around your heart. 

I have given you, as a token of My love and esteem, gifts of immense value and of great benefit from My heart to enrich and help you. Now I ask that you reciprocate the expression of fellowship, of covenant, showing your desire to be in relationship with Me, and give Me those things that have occupied the place in your life, and in your heart, that is Mine to hold. 

I have given you My Son, holding nothing back. Will you accept Him as Lord and Master, and give Me your heart and life, and the things you have treasured, holding nothing back?


May you grasp at each opportunity to receive from God that which He has planted the desire for in your heart, being willing to suffer rebuke for straying outside of the social and cultural norms if need be, and persisting in pursuing the Lord, Who desires to be found and is willing to be entreated, when you seek Him with your whole heart, that you may have the answer you seek through His compassion and and His power. Matthew 20


May you join in earnest prayer with others making the same request of the Lord, joining your heart with those who share the same hunger for more of God, that you may encourage and quicken each other without hesitation or timidity in the pursuit of and the enduring quest to find Him and receive of Him. Matthew 20


May you go forth as God directs you, and speak as the Lord leads you, and work as the Spirit empowers you, for you will find that He has gone before you and prepared the hearts of the people who are His. Matthew 21


May you give honor to Christ in your dealings in the marketplace, giving answer to those who ask, who do not understand the reason for your behavior. Matthew 21


May you accept the work of the Lord in your heart with joy and praise rather than anger and indignation as He cleanses His temple, overthrowing man's traditions and your own selfish desires, purging the fleshly nature and the world's values from His spiritual kingdom, the place of His ruling authority. Matthew 21


May you have faith and not doubt Who God is, and the depth of His love for you, the authority of His Word, and the power of His Spirit, for if you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayerful fellowship and communion with Him. Matthew 21


May you revere and worship the Lord, for the secret of the sweet, satisfying companionship of the Lord will be yours, and to you will He reveal the deep, inner meaning of His covenant. Psalm 25

May integrity and uprightness protect and preserve you, since your patient and hopeful expectation is in God, who redeems His people from all their troubles. Psalm 25


May you be a valued and worthwhile companion to those God has placed around you, being slow to speak, slow to anger, and swift to hear, speaking the truth of God without guile or malice, with an humble heart and obedient spirit, teaching by demonstration what you see the Father do and speaking from the fullness of God's heart, being strong enough to remain vulnerable and open enough to receive from others, walking in peace amidst confusion and bringing calm to others' turmoil, sharing the soothing oil and balm of the Spirit to end strife and vexation, for then the Lord will establish you and call you sons of the heavenly Father and give you authority to be about the business of His kingdom. Proverbs 6:12-15, revised
