Bring Your work to completion, Lord!

Music by Linda Louisa This is an opportunity to bless specific people who you care for deeply using various Scriptures as your starting point. May these prayers and meditations inspire you to turn many other verses in the Psalms, Proverbs, Prophets and New Testament into living prayer. May the Lord, who has begun a good work in you, help you to work out your salvation with fear and trembling and bring His work to completion in Christ Jesus. (Phil:1:6, 2:12) As you pass through the rushing waters may they not overwhelm you. May the Lord keep you from being burned in the fire (Isaiah 43:2) May the troubles you go through achieve an exceeding and eternal weight of glory, as you keep your eyes fixed not on what is seen but on what is unseen. (2 Cor. 4:17-18) As you wait on the Lord, may your strength be renewed, so that you can mount up on eagle’s wings, run and not grow weary walk and not grow faint. (Is. 40:31) May your heart be discerning and acquire knowledge. (Pvbs 18:15) May the Lord keep you from answering before you listen, for that would be your folly and your shame. (Pvbs. 15:13) May you learn from your afflictions (Ps. 119:67, 71) and when you feel offended, may you not bar the gates of your heart, for walls are easy to build but so much harder to dismantle. (Pvbs. 18:19) I pray that God will bless you and enlarge your border, that His hand will be with you and that He will keep you from evil so it might not hurt you. (1Chron 4v1). May the Lord build His hedge around you, and your house, and all you have on every side. (Job1v10). May the Lord give you discretion and good judgement. May He give you success in building the house of the Lord. May you be strong and courageous and neither afraid nor discouraged. (1 Chron. 22:11-14) May you have the tongue of one who is taught, and speak a word in season to him who is weary. May the Lord waken you morning by morning to listen to His voice. (Is. 50:4) May your faith remain strong, even in the face of great sifting. (Luke 22:31-2). May you know authority and power to trample upon scorpions, and strength over all the powers that confront you. (Luke 10:19) May the Spirit of Truth guide you into all truth and reveal the things that are God’s to you. (John16) May it always be your goal to please Him, so that when you stand before the judgement seat, you may receive the rewards that are due to you. (2 Cor. 5:10) As you contemplate the path of your life, may the Lord guide your steps. Through the fear of the Lord may you be kind to the needy, and (Pvbs. 16:6, and 1 Sam. 2:9) may He keep your spirit from being crushed (Pvbs. 17:22, 18:14); may your feet be beautiful as you walk in your destiny. (Is.52:7) and keep your heart at peace. (Pvbs. 14:30)
