    1 Peter 4:12-13 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed

    1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.

    May you be willing to dedicate to the Lord those “fields” of your life from which crops spring and are harvested, the works of your hands and fruit of your tongue, so that rather than enriching your reputation and standing, they may bring forth good works towards men and praise unto God. Leviticus 27

    May you be devoted to God, set aside for His purpose, sanctified for His use, knowing that all rights to your personal preferences and opinions are given up and His is not only your Master, but your Lord, and your God; His will is for you to be holy, even as He is holy, which is why you must decrease by denying yourself so He can increase as you walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh, choosing the death of the carnal nature and the destruction of the fleshly desires which war against the spirit. Leviticus 27

    May you testify to His glory by the increase of He has made in your heart and His provision each day in your life. Numbers 1

    May you rejoice in the truth of God's word and the certainty of His promises, asking Him for understanding that you may recognize His work as it happens, for His reality will differ from the traditions of men. Mark 11

    Trust Me, little one, knowing that you are safe, and pour out your heart to Me. You will not anger Me nor cause Me concern with questions I have not considered or problems for which I have no answer.
    I am your refuge, your shelter, your place of comfort in distress. You are always on My mind and constantly in My thoughts, which are toward you, to give you hope and a future, to prosper you with riches that cannot be stolen and will never lose their value, but will go with you into eternity and reflect the love that I have for you, complementing the beauty I see in you.
    Though you feel that you are lying in the dust, now, and have been left at the trash heap, I am with you and My Spirit is within you even as My blood flows through you. I, too, was taken out of the city, treated as the lowliest and most worthless, and I have the comfort and the acceptance that the Father gave to Me that I now give to you.
    You will rise up, for I will lift you and none will hold you back. You will be given a seat of honor as I call you by name and seat you among the nobles and none will prevent you by word or deed.
    Trust Me, My honored one, with all your heart, acknowledge Me even now, for I am setting your paths straight, instructing you and teaching you in the way for you to go, speaking a word in your ear and surrounding you with My loving kindness.
    Walk with Me in the path I know so well.

    May you stand steadfast in the Lord when He begins to cleanse the temple of your heart, overthrowing what you are accustomed to and driving out what you have made room for, so that His house may be a house of prayer for all nations. Mark 11

    May you have faith in God, for if anyone prays and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Mark 11

    May you believe that whatever you ask for in prayer, you have received, for then it shall be yours, for when you stand praying, if you show mercy for others' trespasses against you, then your Father in heaven will show mercy to you and restore you to right standing in His Beloved Son. Mark 11

    May you not fear, though the earth give way and mountains fall into the heart of the sea, for God is your refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Psalm 46

    May your fortress be the God of Jacob, the Lord Almighty, for He is with you. Psalm 46

    May you be still and know that the Lord is God for He will be exalted among the nations and throughout all the earth. Psalm 46

    May you delight in wisdom as a man of understanding does, rather than finding pleasure in evil conduct as a fool does. Proverbs 10:23
