If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, 8and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned. 9And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted, 10and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.

‘Listen! I am going to bring on this city and all the villages around it every disaster I pronounced against them, because they were stiff-necked and would not listen to my words.’ ”

Lord God my Father,

You are in control of everything, help me to be with you and not against you. Help me to pass your way to others in Love and delight to strengthen the light. Soften the hearts of those who seek darkness and turn us back to you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
