And this is what the Lord says: ‘This city will certainly be given into the hands of the army of the king of Babylon, who will capture it.’ ”

“Obey the Lord by doing what I tell you. Then it will go well with you, and your life will be spared. 

I will save you; you will not fall by the sword but will escape with your life, because you trust in me, declares the Lord.’ ”

How long, Lord? Will you be angry forever? How long will your jealousy burn like fire? 6Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not call on your name;

Pay back into the laps of our neighbors seven times the contempt they have hurled at you, Lord. 13Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will praise you forever; from generation to generation we will proclaim your praise.

Lord God my Fahter,

Crush the sin nature I carry and allow things to go well with me. Make my heart obedient to your way and please you in all things I am. Protect me from the attacks by the enemy and the disappointment I cause when I act on my own. Keep me from judgment that darkens my spirit.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
