Yet whenever your people turned and cried to you again for help, you listened once more from heaven. In your wonderful mercy, you rescued them many times!

The people responded, “In view of all this,9:38b Or In spite of all this. we are making a solemn promise and putting it in writing. On this sealed document are the names of our leaders and Levites and priests.”

Lord God my Father

I cry out to you, deliver me from my stupid and into your wisdom. Protect me with your awesome power and wisdom and help me find obedience to your desire alone.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
