I will guard my Temple and protect it from invading armies. I am watching closely to ensure that no more foreign oppressors overrun my people’s land.

“What sorrow awaits this worthless shepherd who abandons the flock!

And the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be one Lord—his name alone will be worshiped.

On that day they will be terrified, stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will fight their neighbors hand to hand. 

Lord God my Father,

Give me discernment to protect my thoughts from deceit, keep me in your grace at peace. Open my eyes to the worthless so I can keep my gaze on you. Help me to bring the lost to your authority.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
