Time after time I sent you prophets, who told you, “Turn from your wicked ways, and start doing things right. Stop worshiping other gods so that you might live in peace here in the land I have given to you and your ancestors.”
So Jeremiah took another scroll and dictated again to his secretary, Baruch. He wrote everything that had been on the scroll King Jehoiakim had burned in the fire. Only this time he added much more!
Lord God my Father,
Open my eyes so I may see your desire, open my heart so I may hear your direction. Use your power living in me to cause me to turn away from my sinful ways, may I only follow you. I am unable to turn from my sinful desires without you, save me before it is made worse by my defiance.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
