Psalm 42:5 Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence.
May you willingly give of the abundance God has blessed you with, whether skill in music, or truth from the Word, or understanding in prayer, or encouragement in fellowship, or ability in organization, for all you have has been given to you by God, that others around may know the joy of worship in the fullness of what the Body of Christ can bring to Him. 2 Chronicles 35
May you gladly support your fellow-workers as they go about their duties, and bring to them the enjoyment and refreshing of the fellowship of the Spirit, strengthening the bonds of the love of God, even as the Levites did, during Josiah's Passover, to all who ministered, from the priests to the gatekeepers. 2 Chronicles 35
May you understand that God will use those who do not confess or proclaim Him in order to establish His will, for when Nebuchadnezzar took the sacred articles from the temple in Jerusalem and carried them to Babylon, God was preserving them in safety until the time when His people would return to rebuild the place of His worship. 2 Chronicles 36

May you always preach the gospel, but not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. 1 Corinthians 1
Give heed to My Spirit, My child, for He is your appointed teacher. Any who disregard His promptings, any who dismiss His help, any who disobey His directions, will not prosper but will fall, losing even what they thought they had. To ignore the Spirit of God is to ignore God; to reject the Spirit of Truth is to reject the power and authority of My Word. To refuse the discipline and chastening of the Holy Spirit is to refuse the love of the Father and His comfort in times of distress, as well.
Do not fear the work of the Spirit in your heart and your life, My dear one, for He is the envoy the Father has sent you at My request. There is no greater gift that I could give you than that of the Holy Spirit once the first part of My work on earth was done. He searches all things, even the deep things of God, knowing the mind of God and revealing to you that which will strengthen, correct, encourage, and lead you in the paths you should follow.
The work of the Spirit is to prepare a Bride for Me, My dear one. He searches the hearts of men, going to and fro throughout the world making much of Me, knowing each one whose heart quickens at His description of the Groom. He draws each one whose desire is to know more; He pours out the love from God into those hearts. To each one who echoes it back, stirring to life, responding with love in return, He speaks more about Me, revealing My truth to you, and transforming you into My image.
Open your heart to My Spirit, My yearning one. Know that I give only good gifts from My love for you, and the gift of the Holy Spirit is the way I have chosen to show you how earnest and serious I am about the promises I have made to you. If you hear Him and obey, you will receive from Him that which you are seeking from Me. Walk in the Spirit, My doting one, and you will not walk in the flesh but be victorious as one of My over-comers, and will be transformed in ways you have no words for nor have the concepts even entered into your imagination.
Let Him lead you into praise for He knows Me fully, even as you shall before long. Your yearning heart for Me is only a reflection of My yearning heart for you which He has revealed to you. Follow the leading of My Spirit, and we shall be together in eternity.
May you have no fear of the enemies who advance against you – for who is worthy of such fearful regard when you have the Lord as your light and salvation? Psalm 27
May you not be afraid though an army besieges you, for the Lord is the stronghold of your life. Psalm 27
May you be confident in the Lord even though a host of the enemy deploys against you. Psalm 27
May you ask of the Lord that you may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of your life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple. Psalm 27
May the Lord keep you safe in His dwelling in that day of your trouble, and hide you in the shelter of His tabernacle, setting you high upon a rock. Psalm 27
May you sing and make music to the Lord at His tabernacle where you will sacrifice with shouts of joy, for the Lord will exalt your head above the enemies who surround you. Psalm 27
