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.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
