“You make plans that are contrary to mine. You make alliances not directed by my Spirit, thus piling up your sins.

This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it.

But the people of God will sing a song of joy, like the songs at the holy festivals. You will be filled with joy,

Then everyone who has eyes will be able to see the truth, and everyone who has ears will be able to hear it. 4Even the hotheads will be full of sense and understanding.

Lord God my Father,

Create in me a stillness that shows your desire in me. Draw me close so I can’t be distracted. Allow your delight to be my desire in how I engage in this day. Give me you’re understanding.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
