Life New

“But you thought your fame and beauty were your own.

But first, because you have not remembered your youth but have angered me by doing all these evil things, I will fully repay you for all of your sins, says the Sovereign Lord.

I who makes the green tree wither and gives the dead tree new life. I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do what I said!”

Lord God, my Father,
You are my purpose, you are my desire. Take from me my arrogance and replace it with your purpose. You created me with a destination in mind and I have struggled with you to do it my way. I pray o Lord that I can surrender completely to your will, bring life as you created it to these old bones, restore me to your design.
In Jesus name,
Amen

‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: No more delay! I will now do everything I have threatened. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!’”

Lord God,
Your anger is just, we are a sinful people. I wish to be worthy of your mark, the mark that protects me from your wrath. Place in me your will and power to live it. May I be a light to all who I meet.

only one God and I am not it.

“I will shower you with the deadly arrows of famine to destroy you. The famine will become more and more severe until every crumb of food is gone.

Then when they are exiled among the nations, they will remember me. They will recognize how hurt I am by their unfaithful hearts and lustful eyes that long for their idols. Then at last they will hate themselves for all their detestable sins.

Lord God,
Show me mercy, forgive me of my sinful nature, give me your power to defeat it. I am weak and unable to do it on my own. Bring me into your presence and bring your peace on my heart so it may only seek you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Amen

The enemy within has only has power with my permission

She defiled herself with immorality
and gave no thought to her future.

as the enemy attacks.

as I grieve over my loss.
21Yet I still dare to hope
when I remember this:
22The faithful love of the Lord never ends!3:22 As in Syriac version; Hebrew reads of the Lord keeps us from destruction.
His mercies never cease.
23Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.

Lord God,
I despise my selfish ways and I surrender to your will. Lord God, deliver me from my self and take captive my actions. Allow me to see your truth and turn from my way to your way in all things. Lord God, the enemy is constantly surrounding me I need your protection. Your endless Love is my desire, destroy the idol’s in my presence.

Amen

The battle is in me

For who is like me, and who can challenge me?
What ruler can oppose my will?”

Pursue, kill, and completely destroy them,
as I have commanded you,” says the Lord.

for I am with you,” says the Lord.

I will discipline you, but with justice;
I cannot let you go unpunished.”

Cursed are those who refuse to do the Lord’s work,

Lord God,
May I commit to follow you without reservation. Remove my resistance and give me courage to blindly follow your desire in me. When I stray discipline me with your justice. May my obedience release your Joy in my actions.

Pray that the Lord your God will show us what to do and where to go.”

“And now the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, asks you: Why are you destroying yourselves?

Lord God,
Open my heart to go where you direct me, protect me from my own weakness. I am sorry I have fought your plan for so long.
