Freedom from myself

They think only about sinning.
Misery and destruction always follow them.
We know we have rebelled and have denied the lord.
We have turned our backs on our God.

and wrapped himself in a cloak of divine passion.

the Spirit of the lord gave them rest.

Why have you given us stubborn hearts so we no longer fear you?
Return and help us, for we are your servants,

Lord God,
I have lived in this world all my life, this world of sin. Lord God I pray for you to remove me from this place and place me in your world, May I live in your truth not the truth I have learned but your pure, undiluted powerful truth. May I also wear your cloak of divine passion, may I be on fire for your desire to burn in me. Release me from my heart so stubborn and hard from this life and surrender it to you for absolute healing and grace. May I only serve you, period, end of discussion, exclusive,,,,,,,,,,,,

Peace, Is it real to me

I will comfort those who mourn,
19bringing words of praise to their lips.
May they have abundant peace, both near and far,”

Lord God,
May I find my peace in you, help me to release what I think is progress and peace in my soul and allow you to live thru me, help me to stop searching so hard for you and just allow you to have your way with me.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Crushed and weak.

The lord called me before my birth;
from within the womb he called me by name.
I replied, “But my work seems so useless!
I have spent my strength for nothing and to no purpose.
Yet I leave it all in the lord’s hand;
I will trust God for my reward.”
Then you will know that I am the lord.
Those who trust in me will never be put to shame.”
But I will reveal my name to my people, and they will come to know its power. Then at last they will recognize that I am the one who speaks to them.”

And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God,
a punishment for his own sins!
5But he was pierced for our rebellion,
crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
He was whipped so we could be healed.
6All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.
We have left God’s paths to follow our own.

Lord God, May I understand how much you know and love me. May I place ALL of my life in your loving hands and TRUST you to care for my needs. Lord God, I surrender, I am so tired I cannot be thought of as a man, without your power driving me I am weak and broken. Rebuild me in your image and set me free of my past, may I live for you, with you.

In Jesus Name,
Amen

Stubborn for the Lord

“Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem,
a firm and tested stone.
It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on.
Whoever believes need never be shaken.

The lord of Heaven’s Armies is a wonderful teacher,
and he gives the farmer great wisdom.

The wisdom of the wise will pass away,
and the intelligence of the intelligent will disappear.”

“Because you despise what I tell you
and trust instead in oppression and lies,
13calamity will come upon you suddenly—

So the lord must wait for you to come to him
so he can show you his love and compassion.
For the lord is a faithful God.
Blessed are those who wait for his help.

Lord God, It is amazing how you reveal your message everyday. You tell us what will happen if I live with you or without. You reveal so many lessons from your people and how they live. You expose my soul. May I accept your wisdom and live in your grace instead of struggling with my own wisdom. Oh how stubborn I am, may I be stubborn for you.

In Jesus name
Amen

beware of my wisdom

“What sorrow awaits those who argue with their Creator.
Does a clay pot argue with its maker?
Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying,
‘Stop, you’re doing it wrong!’
No one sees me,’ you said.
But your ‘wisdom’ and ‘knowledge’ have led you astray,
So disaster will overtake you,
and you won’t be able to charm it away.

Lord God,
I am sorry for my arrogance and not following you wholehearted. I have filtered your desire for me to avoid doing or not doing your work. I have not truly followed you. Lord hod please remove my will and replace it with your will. Use me as a tool to do your will. Do not allow satan to use my gifts to turn me away from you. Humble me to the point I have no other choice but to follow you for my deliverance from my own prison.

In Jesus name,
Amen

May I live for the Lord

the lord, have called you to demonstrate my righteousness.
I will take you by the hand and guard you,
20You see and recognize what is right
but refuse to act on it.
“Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you.
I have called you by name; you are mine.
You have not brought me fragrant calamus
or pleased me with the fat from sacrifices.
Instead, you have burdened me with your sins
and wearied me with your faults.

May I not be a burden to the Lord, May I live my life as a living sacrifice.
In Jesus name,
amen

Arrogance of Satan and his power in this world.

What god of any nation has ever been able to save its people from my power? So what makes you think that the lord can rescue Jerusalem from me?”
Do not be disturbed by this blasphemous speech against me from the Assyrian king’s messengers. 7Listen! I myself will move against him,
Don’t let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you with promises that Jerusalem will not be captured by the king of Assyria. 11You know perfectly well what the kings of Assyria have done wherever they have gone. They have completely destroyed everyone who stood in their way! Why should you be any different?
After Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers and read it, he went up to the lord’s Temple and spread it out before the lord. 15And Hezekiah prayed
Now, O lord our God, rescue us from his power; then all the kingdoms of the earth will know that you alone, O lord, are God.”
6Lord, your discipline is good,
for it leads to life and health.
You restore my health
and allow me to live!
17Yes, this anguish was good for me,
for you have rescued me from death
and forgiven all my sins.
“They saw everything,” Hezekiah replied. “I showed them everything I own—all my royal treasuries.”

Satan can offer a convincing argument and fill me with doubt. I pray for the Lord to discipline me, soften my heart so I will grow from His discipline and spread before him on the floor my struggles and surrender them, allow God to take them from me.

Lord God,
Protect me from the lies satan puts before me. Allow me to ponder in your will and surrender the compromise in my spirit to you. Fill me with your will,
In Jesus name,
Amen

To focus on His Glory, not my efforts.

Though you are such wicked rebels, my people, come and return to the lord. 7I know the glorious day will come when each of you will throw away the gold idols and silver images your sinful hands have made.

To know the glorious day will come where I only worship the lord, no sin, no temptation too great, no more compromise, That is what I live for.
Lord God,
May I surrender my efforts to you, my efforts to fix my flawed way and turn it over to you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

My purpose.

8lord, we show our trust in you by obeying your laws;
our heart’s desire is to glorify your name.
lord, you will grant us peace;
all we have accomplished is really from you.
9But those who die in the lord will live;
their bodies will rise again!

Lord God,
My sole purpose is to Glorify you, Remove any desire in me that separates me from you. Grant a peace in me that will not be defeated by this world. All good I do is from you and for you.
In Jesus name,
Amen

So hard to “see”

It is beyond my power to do this,” Joseph replied. “But God can tell you what it means and set you at ease.”

Pharaoh asked his officials, “Can we find anyone else like this man so obviously filled with the spirit of God?”

“God has made me fruitful in this land of my grief.”

Jacob exclaimed, “You are robbing me of my children! Joseph is gone! Simeon is gone! And now you want to take Benjamin, too. Everything is going against me!”

Joseph admitted without hesitation his power comes from God. Even non believers see God is with him. How often is God putting a path in front of us we can’t see because we are not looking for it.

Lord God, please remove items in my life that block your will from my life.
