To be His.

“ ‘I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. 

“ ‘If you remain hostile toward me and refuse to listen to me, I will multiply your afflictions seven times over, as your sins deserve. 

“ ‘But if they will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors—their unfaithfulness and their hostility toward me, 41which made me hostile toward them so that I sent them into the land of their enemies—then when their uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they pay for their sin, 42I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.

Lord God my Father,

You are all mighty and all knowing and all things are yours. I wish to follow your way completely and reject my sinful desires. Protect me and give me your strength and wisdom to do your will in this world.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

To be more Holy

‘Anyone who curses their God will be held responsible; 16anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be put to death. 

Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. The Israelites did as the Lord commanded Moses.

Lord God my Father,

You are holy and all knowing. Show me the areas that do not serve you that lives in me so I may surrender it to your care. Help me to allow your holy way to rest on me and restore me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

One focus

“ ‘The priests are to perform my service in such a way that they do not become guilty and die for treating it with contempt. I am the Lord, who makes them holy.

Do not offer to the Lord the blind, the injured or the maimed, or anything with warts or festering or running sores. Do not place any of these on the altar as a food offering presented to the Lord. 

Lord God my Father,

You are Holy and perfect. Keep my close and protect my thoughts so I am with you in all thoughts and actions. Help me to live a life that honors you in all areas. Give me focus and strength to overcome my compromised ways so I am able to give you my best in all things.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Restored

“ ‘Keep all my decrees and all my laws and follow them. I am the Lord.’ ”

 ‘Any Israelite or any foreigner residing in Israel who sacrifices any of his children to Molek is to be put to death. 

Lord God my Father,

You are Holy and perfect, help me to know your way and give me strength to remove the compromise I allow in my faith and life. Show me how to restore myself to who you made to be and away of who I decided to be, so I may experience all the fullness of this life.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

To Honor, unconditional.

“This is to be a lasting ordinance for you: Atonement is to be made once a year for all the sins of the Israelites.”

And it was done, as the Lord commanded Moses.

You must not eat the blood of any creature, because the life of every creature is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off.”

“ ‘Everyone who does any of these detestable things—such persons must be cut off from their people. 30Keep my requirements and do not follow any of the detestable customs that were practiced before you came and do not defile yourselves with them. I am the Lord your God.’ ”

Lord God my Father,

Your way is perfect and leads to your blessings. Lord, forgive me for wondering off your path and doing what is detestable to you, forgive and give me strength to stay in your way, a way free from the stresses of my sin. Forgive me and restore me to who you created me to be. I wish to honor you in all areas of my thoughts and actions.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Purified

So Aaron and his sons did everything the Lord commanded through Moses.

Fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown.

So fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord. 3Moses then said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord spoke of when he said:

“Do not let your hair become unkempt and do not tear your clothes, or you will die and the Lord will be angry with the whole community. But your relatives, all the Israelites, may mourn for those the Lord has destroyed by fire. 7Do not leave the entrance to the tent of meeting or you will die, because the Lord’s anointing oil is on you.” 

Lord God my Father,

You are Holy and all powerful. Help me to have a heart that honors you in all ways. Protect my thoughts and actions and separate the darkness that lives within me. Purify me and put your desires within me so I may honor you in all my ways.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

His nature within me

“If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible. 

But any sin offering whose blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place must not be eaten; it must be burned up.

Lord God my Father,

You are all things good and your plan is perfect. Help me to have discernment to stay in your way. Protect me from the darkness that calls and show me how to remove the sin nature that lives within me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

By His design.

The Israelites had done all the work just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 43Moses inspected the work and saw that they had done it just as the Lord had commanded. So Moses blessed them.

Moses did everything just as the Lord commanded him.

So the cloud of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the Israelites during all their travels.

Lord God my Father,

Your way is perfect, help me to follow your design without distraction so your will is done more than mine. Help me to do everything your reveal to me as you desire. Help me to see you in all things.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Serve wholeheartedly.

“No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” And so the people were restrained from bringing more, 7because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work.

Lord God my Father,

You are all mighty and can do all things. Give me a heart that only wants to serve you and not myself. Remove all of me and replace it with your heart and desire. I want to serve you with all I am.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Single focus

 “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go with you even for a moment, I might destroy you.

If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you

And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”

 Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our wickedness and our sin, and take us as your inheritance.”

Obey what I command you today. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.

Lord God my Father,

Your plan is perfect and I struggle to follow it with obedience. Lord God, help me to surrender my will and desires and be filled with your way without delay. Give me instruction and remove distractions that draw me away from your plan. Make me stubborn in following you alone.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
