Soon the people began to complain about their hardship, and the Lord heard everything they said.

Then the people screamed to Moses for help, and when he prayed to the Lord, the fire stopped.

(Now Moses was very humble—more humble than any other person on earth.)

But not with my servant Moses.Of all my house, he is the one I trust.8I speak to him face to face,clearly, and not in riddles!

But Caleb tried to quiet the people as they stood before Moses. “Let’s go at once to take the land,” he said. “We can certainly conquer it!”31But the other men who had explored the land with him disagreed. “We can’t go up against them! They are stronger than we are!” 

Lord God my Father,

Keep my heart in your presence so I may not grumble. Keep me in your protection so I don’t stray from you. Quiet my thoughts to I only hear your desire and stand for your plan even when I don’t understand it.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

The Levites purified themselves from sin and washed their clothes, and Aaron lifted them up and presented them to the Lord as a special offering.

 “We have become ceremonially unclean by touching a dead body. But why should we be prevented from presenting the Lord’s offering at the proper time with the rest of the Israelites?”

Lord God my Father,

Guide me to worship you as I should, bring discernment to my thoughts and protect me from wander.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

I will live among you, and I will not despise you. 12I will walk among you; I will be your God, and you will be my people.

“If in spite of all this you still refuse to listen and still remain hostile toward me, 28then I will give full vent to my hostility.

At last the people will pay for their sins, for they have continually rejected my regulations and despised my decrees.

Lord God my Father,

Cleanse my heart so you will not despise me, open my ears to hear you and make my heart obedient to your desire. Remove my sinful nature.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

They kept the man in custody until the Lord’s will in the matter should become clear to them.

Any native-born Israelite or foreigner among you who blasphemes the Name of the Lord must be put to death.

The Israelites did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to keep my thoughts in check until your desire is made clear. Help me to own my dysfunction and not blame you or others for it. Quiet my thoughts so I may follow your desires.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

 I am the Lord.

 This would bring guilt upon them and require them to pay compensation. I am the Lord who makes them holy.”

 I am the Lord who makes you holy.

You are God and way beyond my understanding. Lord God, please cause my heart to rest in you only and direct me away from temptation of this world. Help me to allow you Peace to be my strength and my mind to be in constant Sabath with you, allowing your presence to lead my thoughts toward your will.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

This will happen to all who commit spiritual prostitution by worshiping Molech.

Oh, protect my thoughts so I may stay strong against temptation.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

He will lay both of his hands on the goat’s head and confess over it all the wickedness, rebellion, and sins of the people of Israel. In this way, he will transfer the people’s sins to the head of the goat. 

 You must not imitate their way of life. 4You must obey all my regulations and be careful to obey my decrees, for I am the Lord your God. 5If you obey my decrees and my regulations, you will find life through them. I am the Lord.

“Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for the people I am driving out before you have defiled themselves in all these ways. 25Because the entire land has become defiled, I am punishing the people who live there. I will cause the land to vomit them out.

Lord God my Father,

Purify my thoughts for they define my actions. May I only be pleasing to you and bring honor to you with my existence. Keep me safe from temptation by the world and give me discernment on how to engage others. Keep my spirit in your peace and protected so my thoughts don’t interfere with your plan.

“If one of Israel’s leaders sins by violating one of the commands of the Lord his God but doesn’t realize it, he is still guilty.

In Jesus name I pray,

So the people of Israel followed all of the Lord’s instructions to Moses. 43Then Moses inspected all their work. When he found it had been done just as the Lord had commanded him, he blessed them.

The cloud of the Lord hovered over the Tabernacle during the day, and at night fire glowed inside the cloud so the whole family of Israel could see it. This continued throughout all their journeys.

Lord God my Father,

Calm my thoughts so I may follow your instructions perfectly, allow me to see your presence all around me as I travel the journey you designed for me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
