“I am sending you to the nation of Israel, a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me. They and their ancestors have been rebelling against me to this very day. 4They are a stubborn and hard-hearted people.

“Son of man, let all my words sink deep into your own heart first. Listen to them carefully for yourself. 11Then go to your people in exile and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says!’ Do this whether they listen to you or not.”

Lord God my Father,

Give me strength and courage to live your Truth and turn from my rebellious way. Help me to allow your way to sink deep into me and restore me to your desire and plan. Help me to encourage by living as you desire.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
