May your heart be prepared in humility and desperation to know and obey God's will before you ask for leading and seek for guidance, because to know what to do and do it not is sin and rebellion. Jeremiah 42
May you wait on the Lord for His direction and spend time in His presence giving Him praise and worshiping Him, trusting His promises and relying on His mercy, for He has declared His love and shown His compassion for you, allowing you to cast out and overcome the baseless fear that attempts to drive you into premature and faithless action. Jeremiah 42
May you not stand in pride against the word of the Lord which He sends to you for your own good, but step down from arrogance and stand aside from self-defense, moving apart from fear, turning in trust to the immutable promises and eternal wisdom of the Father Who is willing to accept you as you are and bring you deliverance and liberty by destroying the powers that have influenced you. Jeremiah 43
May you not provoke the King to anger with the works of your hands or the intents of your heart, but humble yourself and show reverence to the Lord by following His leading and obeying His direction, for it is better to be led by God into captivity and be separated from idolatry than to rebelliously flee to Egypt to maintain your willful choices. Jeremiah 44
May you encourage others in the body of Christ to do what is good and to obey God's words, standing against disbelief in purity of worship, letting the gentleness of the Spirit soften the hardness of the hearts that have been influenced by the enemy. Jeremiah 44
May you be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus and endure hardship like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 2

May you not quarrel about words, but focus on the essential truths of God, doing your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth, avoiding godless chatter. 2 Timothy 2
Even when you have an abundance, your life does not consist of your possessions, My child. You must be on your guard against all forms of greed and "self"-ishness.
How can the righteous merchant, who deals fairly with his customers, paying a living wage to his employees, honoring all the taxes and regulations of the government, compete against other tradesmen who cut corners, use false weights, cheat their employees and steal from their customers? The little that the righteous have is still better than the abundance of the wicked, for with the fear of God and by being content with food and covering, godliness brings peace that the great treasure and turmoil of the wicked will never see.
Understand, My dear, that your life is so much more than merely food or drink or clothing. Would My blood and suffering have been required for your redemption if the needs of your body were all that had to be purchased? I have paid the price to regain the legal title to you, My most precious creation, and I have defeated the enemy at every level and on every battlefront he has attempted to fight.
You have been reborn of water and the Spirit, and brought into new life from death; I have wrapped you in the swaddling cloth of My robe of righteousness. You did not purchase it, neither could you make it; it is My gift to you, willingly and lovingly.
I have seated you in the heavenlies, I have placed you in My Body where you can be cared for by those who have My heart, and I have sent My Holy Spirit to indwell you as an evidence and assurance of My intention to fulfill the rest of My promises. I have equipped you with My armor and My weapons so that I may be both your defense and your offense against the spiritual wickedness that battles against you because of My name and My nature that you bear.
Is it possible that having received all this from My hand, that you still have concerns about how much I care about your daily, material, earthly needs? Having seen My provision in your life in times past, can you not see how it is another trick, another lie of the enemy to undermine the faith in your life that is so pleasing to the Father?
Let your heart refresh itself in My presence, My love, and let your thoughts dwell on My Word. Let your mouth give utterance to the praise that expresses the thanksgiving swelling your heart as you consider all I have given you, and realize again Who I am to you.
Rest yourself in the strength of My under-girding arms and know that I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you. You will lack no good thing that you have need of, for you have Me as your loving Lord and caring Master.
May you be confident that the Lord knows those who are His. 2 Timothy 2
May you understand that everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness. 2 Timothy 2
