    May God grant you the means to discern what is right and learn what is good. Job 34

    Just as your ear tests words and your tongue tastes food, may you grow in wisdom and increase in understanding by drawing close to God. Job 34

    May you know that God's eyes are on the ways of men and He sees their every step, no matter how deep the shadow or how dark the place, for He knows the hearts and will make a way out for each who desire Him. The Lord will strive to convince each who do not, and He will guide your steps into the fields to those He knows, giving you seed for the soil that is prepared, water for the growing sprout, and tools for the ripened grain, ready for harvest. Job 34

    May you be comforted that God is not swayed by your sins, affected by your failures, or enriched by your services for He is not a man, double-minded, changeable, or incomplete in understanding or knowledge. Job 35

    May you come to a deep personal revelation of the fact that the Lord remains always our Source, our Strength, our Guide, and our Protector, the Way, the Truth, and the Life that we need, and fully deserving of all praise and honor. Job 35

    May you remember that God is mighty, but does not despise mankind; He is exalted in His power, but reaches out to each of us, showing immense compassion. Job 36

    May you understand that the Lord makes us savable, and then woos us, drawing us with cords of love, making Himself vulnerable by demonstrating His care, accepting rejection repeatedly until we finally turn and accept what we need, and what only the Lord can supply. Job 36

    My child, fear not to walk in the way that I show you. Though it be rough and steep, I will help you. I am your strength and your endurance, My grace supports you in your weakness, and My love ministers to your needs.
    Though others who watch you may deride you, do not fear what they say. Understand My truth, which they do not have, nor can they receive, for their hearts are unrepentant. Though they accuse you of being weak because you depend on Me, and claim that you do not have the inner strength of character to stand on your own, the very truth is that their pride of life blinds them to their own weaknesses and failures.
    Be settled in your heart that what they say about you is true for both those who turn to Me and those who reject Me; all are weak and unable to stand on their own or withstand the trials of life. But those who are wise, and not blinded by their own pride and the lies of the enemy, understand that I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life wherein lies the power to overcome.
    For their sake, My love, I send you among them, that in meekness you may demonstrate My strength by letting your weakness be known; as you decrease in your reputation, I will increase before them in My power. Release your pride, My dear one, in order to walk in My Spirit, for then the harvest will truly be great.

    May you set forth the truth plainly to every man, renouncing secret and shameful ways, not using deception, as you walk by God's mercy in your ministry, knowing that if the good news is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 2 Corinthians 4

    May you not preach yourself, but Jesus Christ as Lord and yourself as a servant for those to whom the gospel is preached. 2 Corinthians 4

    May you always carry around in your body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in your body, the plain clay vessel which carries the treasure of the glory of God through Christ, that the all-surpassing power is known to be from God and not from you. 2 Corinthians 4

    May you recall having heard what God has done in days long ago when fighting for His people, for others did not win their victories by their sword or the strength of their arm, but by God's right hand, His arm and light of His face, for He loved them as He loves you. Psalm 44

    May you push back your enemies and trample your foes through the name of your King and your God, Who decrees victories for you. Psalm 44

    May you not trust in your bow, nor expect your sword to bring you victory, for only God gives you victory over your enemies and puts your adversaries to shame; therefore, you will make your boast in God all day long and praise His name forever. Psalm 44

    May you understand that to drive out the spirit of the mocker causes strife to leave and puts an end to quarrels and insults. Proverbs 22:10

    May you desire a pure heart, which makes your speech gracious, for you will have the King for your friend. Proverbs 22:11

    May you seek to know God's ways, which the eyes of the Lord watch over, even as you reject from your heart and your mouth the words of the unfaithful, which the Spirit of God causes to be unfruitful. Proverbs 22:12
