Mine is Ephesian 3:16-21:
I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit.And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love.And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is. 19May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope. 21May he be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages. Amen.

Becks,
I love this verse! Especially in one of the versions where it says "I pray that He will strengthen you from the core of your being" and I get this beautiful sensation of STRENGTH welling up from the very heart of each person I pray this for, getting bigger and bigger, and expanding them and stretching them until they become these huge massive pillars of strength, firmly rooted in God's love, to the point where NOTHING can ever shake them! ('pressed but not crushed, persecuted not abandonded...blessed beyond the curse 'cause His PROMISE WILL ENDURE!!!').
Much love to you,
I love 1 Thessalonians 5:19
"Do not put out the Spirit's fire."
I used to assume that it means don't ever lose your fiery zeal for the Lord, but I'm coming to understand that it also means, when God is refining you with the fire of the Holy Spirit, don't try to put it out!!
Grace!
Heather
