“And if you fail to learn the lesson and continue your hostility toward me, 24then I myself will be hostile toward you. I will personally strike you with calamity seven times over for your sins.

I will demoralize you in the land of your enemies. You will live in such fear that the sound of a leaf driven by the wind will send you fleeing. You will run as though fleeing from a sword, and you will fall even when no one pursues you.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to know you and live by your desire above my perverted one. Keep my heart in your delight and protect me from deceit. Allow your way to be my way and remove my past so I may live as you wish, allowing me to experience life as you wish.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
