May you know that in your trials and testings, in your time of troubles, you have not been forsaken by the Lord Almighty, your God. Jeremiah 51

May you tell others of what the Lord your God had done when He vindicates you. Jeremiah 51

May you know that He Who is your Portion is not like the fraudulent images crafted by men, for though they are skillfully made, there is no breath in them and they are worthless objects of mockery which perish when their judgment comes, but He is the Maker of all things, including you – the Lord Almighty is His name. Jeremiah 51

May you not lose heart at rumors of violence, or be afraid when ruler turns against ruler, but join heaven and earth in shouting for joy as you see the judgments of the Lord begin to be executed against the spiritual authorities and systems that stand against God, in the time when He punishes the idols and disgraces their works, bringing ruin on all who trust in and rely on the empty words and shameful promises which seek to turn people from their Creator and Redeemer. Jeremiah 51

May you make an intentional separation in your mind from the agreements urged upon you by social influences and a deliberate isolation of your heart from the desires promoted by the culture around you, fleeing from involvement in the causes and movements which seem right to many, but the end thereof is death, so that you may share the convicting word of God in the purity of clean hands and pour out the life-giving power of the Spirit in His righteousness and holiness to all who start fleeing the destruction and fall of what they have trusted in. Jeremiah 51

I am willing, My child, for I am moved by compassion for you. I hear your prayers, My dear one, for I am always paying attention to you, listening whenever you call to Me.
I came into the world to save sinners, making it possible for you to come to Me, even before you realized your need. When you were touched by the convicting power of My Spirit, Who made much of Me unto you, I was moved by compassion to give you the grace of acceptance when, having recognized your need, you prayed to be forgiven, and to receive new birth into My kingdom.
When you caught a glimpse of the heavenlies, as My Spirit revealed My holiness to you, you yearned to be able to join Me but realized how you were weighed down by the carnal way of thinking. I saw the desire of your heart to grow in faith, in self-control, in love, in godliness, and began to lead you on the path to maturity.
Through trials of discovery and testings of refinement, you were brought to decision point after decision point and given the opportunity to address the stony rocks that circumstances had uncovered in your heart. Each time, I empowered you to give it a repudiating shove that would roll it away from your heart, something you could never have done by yourself.
I remained patiently working with you on those issues for which you could not yet bring yourself to separate and divorce yourself from. I kept bringing you back to it again after you had to carry it and stumble over it, until the perceived enjoyment from it was outweighed by realizing what it kept you from.
While you were busy dealing with the internal house-cleaning, I made sure that others who knew you caught glimpses of the changes that were occurring in your heart, in your speech, in your actions, in your choices. You were My witness before the world in the midst of your greatest struggles, My precious one, for when you are willing to die to your carnal nature, it is a choice that I treasure as very dear to Me. I see your selfless choice and know that I can trust My authority to you.
It is when you have found in your heart a sorrow for the plight of others that I know you are ready to be about the family business, My maturing one. That is the prayer that I will always answer with joy, for you are demonstrating the love that is in My heart, the love that sent Me in obedience to the Father to go to earth to give of Myself for others. I am willing, My child, to answer your prayers and give to you the people, the families, the clans, the tribes, the nations as you seek Me for them, enlarging your tent and stretching out your ropes.
Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the earth and the end of the age.

May you live consistent with sound doctrine, that others may learn from observing your life, to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, love, and endurance, loving your family, managing your household, pure, kind, honoring your spouse, showing integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, being subject to those in authority over you, so that in every way you may make the teaching about God our Savior attractive. Titus 2

May you embrace the grace of God that brings salvation, for it teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives while we wait for the blessed hope – the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for Himself a people that are His very own, eager to do what is good. Titus 2

May you praise the great and awesome name of the Lord Who reigns over the nations, causing the earth to shake and the people to tremble, as He is seated enthroned between the cherubim, for He is holy, and exalted over all the nations. Psalm 99

May you exalt the Lord your God and worship at His footstool for He is holy, and has done for His people what is just and right, establishing equity through His strength and by His love for justice. Psalm 99

May you exalt the Lord your God and worship at His holy mountain, for the Lord answers your prayers and forgives you, though He punishes your misdeeds, for the Lord God is holy. Psalm 99
