May the Lord your God be a faithful witness against us if we refuse to obey whatever he tells us to do! 6Whether we like it or not, we will obey the Lord our God to whom we are sending you with our plea. For if we obey him, everything will turn out well for us.”

For you were not being honest when you sent me to pray to the Lord your God for you. You said, ‘Just tell us what the Lord our God says, and we will do it!’ 21And today I have told you exactly what he said, but you will not obey the Lord your God any better now than you have in the past. 22So you can be sure that you will die from war, famine, and disease in Egypt, where you insist on going.”

Lord God my Father,
I can’t do this on my own, I can only live for you with you in control of my life. I pray my sinful nature, a nature to resist doing your will, to be removed and a spirit of action will settle on me. May I be honest with my thoughts and actions and resist my tendency to be stubborn in my way and surrender to your way.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
