Jeremiah 31:3-4, 25
I have loved you with a love everlasting so I have kept for you my mercy. I will restore you again and you shall be rebuilt. I will refresh the weary and lift up the downhearted.
Beloved thank You for Your words of consolation and comfort. You renew my hope.
Isaiah 6:5-8
5 I said, “Poor me! I am doomed! For I am a man of unclean lips living among a people of unclean lips, and yet I have seen the King, Yahweh Sabaoth.”
6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me; in his hands was a live coal which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 He touched my mouth with it and said,
“See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin is forgiven.” 8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” I answered, “Here I am. Send me!”
Mother dearest, my Mistress and my Queen, have pity on me and intercede for me for I am a sinner. My lips are unclean - brush your sweet lips against mine - those lips red with the Blood of my Savior when you pressed your lips to kiss His nail pierced feet, so that my lips too, reddened with the Blood of Christ, may purify my mouth and my entire being, cleanse me of all my sins and fill me with His grace so that I may be submissive to His holy will always.
Matthew 10:27-33
27 What I am telling you in the dark, you must speak in the light. What you hear in private, proclaim from the housetops.
•28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but have no power to kill the soul. Rather be afraid of him who can destroy both body and soul in hell. 29 For only a few cents you can buy two sparrows, yet not one sparrow falls to the ground without your Father’s consent. 30 As for you, every hair of your head has been counted. 31 So do not be afraid: you are worth much more than many sparrows.
•32 Whoever acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 Whoever rejects me before others I will reject before my Father in heaven.
Beloved, I belong to You. Your Word is my life and my strength. You love me and protect me. I am worth more to You than many sparrows because You laid down Your life for me. Help me always to speak boldly - to draw courage from You and help me never to hesitate to speak because I am too afraid of the consequences. If I am right You will vindicate me. If I am wrong You will correct me. Either way Lord, it is You who will prevail. Amen.
