Willing surrender

I searched for someone to stand in the gap in the wall so I wouldn’t have to destroy the land, but I found no one.

But righteous people will judge these sister cities for what they really are—adulterers and murderers.

I tried to cleanse you,
but you refused.

Lord God my Father,
I wish to be your servant, Purify me. I know it will be painful due to my sinful nature. Take all my sin from my past and forgive me and place in me a pure heart that only turns towards you. I am willing but help me with my struggles to follow you completely.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

The only way, His

“But they rebelled against me and would not listen. They did not get rid of the vile images they were obsessed with, or forsake the idols of Egypt.

There I gave them my decrees and regulations so they could find life by keeping them. 12And I gave them my Sabbath days of rest as a sign between them and me. It was to remind them that I am the Lord, who had set them apart to be holy.

“But their children, too, rebelled against me. They refused to keep my decrees and follow my regulations, even though obedience would have given them life. And they also violated my Sabbath days.

Lord God my Father,
Remove my hard hart and make it hard against fighting you. Give me a heart that wants to do life your way, help me to lead others to you by example.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

One true Lord in my life

“But you thought your fame and beauty were your own. So you gave yourself as a prostitute to every man who came along. Your beauty was theirs for the asking.

You set before them as a sacrifice the choice flour, olive oil, and honey I had given you, says the Sovereign Lord.

And I will reaffirm my covenant with you, and you will know that I am the Lord. 63You will remember your sins and cover your mouth in silent shame when I forgive you of all that you have done. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”

It is 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,
Protect me from myself and keep me from idol worship. I place my faith in you but I struggle with following without distraction. Make me into your servant and protect me from falling. Forgive me for my arrogance and self worship. Give me Life like I can’t imagine, blessed by you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Return to the Truth

“Son of man, you live among rebels who have eyes but refuse to see. They have ears but refuse to hear. For they are a rebellious people.

Lord God my Father,
I was once one of the rebels, now I choose your way. Give me truth in my thoughts to follow only you and turn from my old ways.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
