But I have spoken to you again and again, yet you have not obeyed me. 15Again and again I sent all my servants the prophets to you. They said, “Each of you must turn from your wicked ways and reform your actions; do not follow other gods to serve them.

I spoke to them, but they did not listen; I called to them, but they did not answer.’ ”

They said to him, “Sit down, please, and read it to us.”

So Baruch read it to them. 16When they heard all these words, they looked at each other in fear and said to Baruch, “We must report all these words to the king.”

The king and all his attendants who heard all these words showed no fear, nor did they tear their clothes. 

 “Please pray to the Lord our God for us.”

Lord God my Father,

Thank you for making your way known, open my heart so I may hear and own your heart. Show me how to turn away from my way filled with compromise and rest firmly in your Truth. Help me to allow your words to be my words without my opinion or emotions changing them. I repent and wish only to please you alone.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
