You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!

Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you?
22Yes, I hate them with total hatred,
for your enemies are my enemies.
23Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

Lord God,
I am tired of not living completely in your blessing. Give me power over the compromise I have allowed to live in my life. Remove my flaws and restore me to your wonderful plan you have for me.

In Jesus Name,
Amen

lord, if you kept a record of our sins,
who, O Lord, could ever survive?
4But you offer forgiveness,
that we might learn to fear you.
5I am counting on the lord;
yes, I am counting on him.
I have put my hope in his word.
6I long for the Lord

Lord God,
Help me to grow out of my youthful ways and to put my life in your hands, Living as you planed allowing your forgiveness to remove my guilt and past so I may live in peace with you moving forward under your authority.

In Jesus name
Amen

Who does the lord think we are?” they ask.
“Why does he speak to us like this?
Are we little children,
just recently weaned?
10He tells us everything over and over—

Because you despise what I tell you
and trust instead in oppression and lies,
13calamity will come upon you suddenly—
like a bulging wall that bursts and falls.

Oh Lord my God,
How do I understand you, how do I let go of my way, my stubborn way. You made me with unique gifts, does that make me better than others? Lord God, remove my will and make me wise in your way for me and be my guide in my thoughts.

In Jesus name,
Amen

This is what the lord says: ‘Everyone who stays in Jerusalem will die from war, famine, or disease, but those who surrender to the Babylonians will live.

Lord God,
Help me to understand surrender and how to do it.
In Jesus name,
Amen

“Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the lord! 5This is what the Sovereign lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again!

The nations will then know why Israel was sent away to exile—it was punishment for sin, for they were unfaithful to their God. Therefore, I turned away from them and let their enemies destroy them.

Even dry bones listen to the Lord. How I have spent so much of my life killing my faith, rebelling, putting compromise in it, making “deals” with God and breaking my word to him. Why does he still find it in his heart to bless me? Awesome overwhelming, Holy Mercy.

Thank you Lord God for loving me when I was turning my back on you, you never gave up on me. Thank you for opening my spirit to walk with you in truth, your truth. Help me to process the guilt of the past and release me from satan’s desire to keep me in the guilt. You paid the price, you took my sin, personally held it in your hands and destroyed it on the cross, yet I struggle to forget. Lord God, give me Holy amnesia, fill me with your spirit so full, there is no room for my past. Thank you Lord for your persistent, overwhelming Love for this sinner.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Pray for peace in Jerusalem.
May all who love this city prosper.

O lord, do good to those who are good,
whose hearts are in tune with you.
5But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O lord.

Lord God, straighten my path so I may do good in your name. Lord God make me a light that shines your truth, remove my attitude and replace it with your truth so I may delight in my efforts. Lord God may you delight in me.
In Jesus name,
Amen

The people refused to enter the pleasant land,
for they wouldn’t believe his promise to care for them.
25Instead, they grumbled in their tents
and refused to obey the lord.

Those who are wise will take all this to heart;
they will see in our history the faithful love of the lord.

Lord God, release me from my self imposed bondage. Help me to live in your truth, in your purpose for me. Help me to not be so arrogant in my ways and surrender to your way.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Oh, please help us against our enemies,
for all human help is useless.
13With God’s help we will do mighty things,
for he will trample down our foes.

Fear of the lord is the foundation of true wisdom.
All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom.
Praise him forever!

Lord God my father,
I need your help so desperately, I am unable to do anything good on my own. I desperately need you to be in charge of my life. Help me to find a way to remove my desires from this body and replace it with your purpose for me. Crush me to nothingness and rebuild me in your purpose so I may be a servant to you and you may delight in me.
In Jesus name,
Amen

I believed in you, so I said,
“I am deeply troubled, lord.”
11In my anxiety I cried out to you,
“These people are all liars!”

0I have chosen to be faithful;
I have determined to live by your regulations.
31I cling to your laws.
lord, don’t let me be put to shame!
32I will pursue your commands,
for you expand my understanding.

Oh to follow the instructions of the Lord, to walk in His blessing free from the stress of compromise.

Lord God,
Help me to understand Lord, To understand your way for me so I may walk in your peace all day every day.
In Jesus name,
Amen

O lord, what a variety of things you have made!
In wisdom you have made them all.

May all my thoughts be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the lord.

The Lord God made it all and has a purpose and plan for all he made. May I rejoice in releasing his plan for me.

Lord God,
Thank you for your awesome plan, I have been stubborn and hard headed to do this life my way. I surrender my will to you and submit to your plan for me. May I delight in doing your will.

In Jesus name,
Amen
