Like Joseph, when the promotion comes, may you walk right into it!

Humility comes before honor so I bless your humbling times.

The story of the mysterious manna on the wilderness floor is such a vivid foreshadowing of Jesus.

There is amazing joy and power released when you quit striving to be righteous in God’s eyes. More resources at pastoralan.org

Bless you, little lamb.

No need to fear evil,

Your shepherd is with you.

May His rod and staff comfort you.

Even in the darkest valley

You need not be afraid because

The Lord, the Shepherd, is strong and tender.

See that rod? No wolf can survive its blow.

.

See that staff? No lamb can wander from its crook.

When the valleys are lowest

And the shadows are darkest,

Your shepherd is most wide-eyed—

Most ready—

To draw you near with His staff

And to repel the predator with His rod.

So, fear not little lamb.

The Good Shepherd, Jesus,

Is not willing for you to get lost

And He is not willing for the devil to win.

May His rod and staff comfort you.

Repentance isn’t a burden, it is a gift, an acceptance of the kindness of God. More at pastoralan.org

If you want to trust God more, this blessing is the gateway. More at pastoralan.org

May love fuel your heart and speed you toward godliness.

In Christ, your light has come!

The old darkness has lost its rule!

You are a child at daybreak—

Stretching, blinking, and waking

To the glories and grace of God.
