And I will destroy those who used to worship me but now no longer do. They no longer ask for the Lord’s guidance or seek my blessings.”

Seek the Lord, all who are humble, and follow his commands. Seek to do what is right and to live humbly.

For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears.3:17 Or He will be silent in his love. Greek and Syriac versions read He will renew you with his love. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”

Lord God my Father,

Keep my heart in your Glory, Keep my focus on your Truth. Give me discernment using your delight to guide me and your Joy to affirm my decisions.

Then the king instructed Hilkiah the high priest and the priests of the second rank and the Temple gatekeepers to remove from the Lord’s Temple all the articles that were used to worship Baal, Asherah, and all the powers of the heavens. The king had all these things burned outside Jerusalem on the terraces of the Kidron Valley, and he carried the ashes away to Bethel. 5He did away with the idolatrous priests, who had been appointed by the previous kings of Judah, for they had offered sacrifices at the pagan shrines throughout Judah and even in the vicinity of Jerusalem.

Lord God my Father,

Purify my heart and soul, give me power over my sin tendency and help me be restored to your design for me in my mind, soul and body.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Lord, you would still be our Father. You are our Redeemer from ages past.17 Lord, why have you allowed us to turn from your path? Why have you given us stubborn hearts so we no longer fear you? Return and help us, for we are your servants, the tribes that are your special possession.

Lord God my father,

I praise you because it is natural to me, I submit to your desire and pray you will purify mine. Thank you for loving me and placing your grace on me. Only you are worthy.

In Jesus name I pray,

Why was no one there when I came? Why didn’t anyone answer when I called?

Morning by morning he wakens me and opens my understanding to his will.5The Sovereign Lord has spoken to me, and I have listened. I have not rebelled or turned away.

Purify my heart and draw me close. Make me your own and use me as you wish. Give me the courage to follow you wherever you lead me.

In Jesus name I pray,

But perhaps the Lord your God has heard the Assyrian chief of staff, sent by the king to defy the living God, and will punish him for his words. Oh, pray for those of us who are left!”

‘This is what the Lord says: Do not be disturbed by this blasphemous speech against me from the Assyrian king’s messengers. 7Listen! I myself will move against him.

God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.
