The wicked think, “God isn’t watching us!He has closed his eyes and won’t even see what we do!”

O Lord, you alone are my hope. I’ve trusted you, O Lord, from childhood.

Now that I am old and gray, do not abandon me, O God. Let me proclaim your power to this new generation, your mighty miracles to all who come after me.

The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.

Lord God my Father,

Keep me under your authority, you are my hope and I trust in your plan.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

When the wicked are in authority, sin flourishes, but the godly will live to see their downfall.
Proverbs 29:16 NLT
Lord God my father,

Give me discernment for wicked and direction for my words and actions.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Do not be like your ancestors and relatives who abandoned the Lord, the God of their ancestors, and became an object of derision, as you yourselves can see.

Worship the Lord your God so that his fierce anger will turn away from you.

 For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful. If you return to him, he will not continue to turn his face from you.”

Lord God my Father,

Direct me in turning away from my sinful way and back to serving you. Restore me to your desire and use me for your will.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

For the Lord has crushed your wicked power and broken your evil rule.

“How you are fallen from heaven, O shining star, son of the morning! You have been thrown down to the earth, you who destroyed the nations of the world.13For you said to yourself,‘ I will ascend to heaven and set my throne above God’s stars. I will preside on the mountain of the gods far away in the north.14:13 Or on the heights of Zaphon.14I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.’15Instead, you will be brought down to the place of the dead, down to its lowest depths.

Lord God my Father,

My heart breaks for the lost, protect me from deceit and under your authority, help me to bring hope to others.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Their land is full of idols; the people worship things they have made with their own hands.9So now they will be humbled, and all will be brought low—

Don’t put your trust in mere humans. They are as frail as breath. What good are they?

For Jerusalem will stumble, and Judah will fall, because they speak out against the Lord and refuse to obey him. They provoke him to his face.9The very look on their faces gives them away. They display their sin like the people of Sodom and don’t even try to hide it. They are doomed! They have brought destruction upon themselves.

So my people will go into exile far away because they do not know me.

Lord God my Father,

Keep my heart under your authority and remove my fears. Cause me to have courage to do your will above the desire of the world. Use me to spread your Love to others.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem. It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never be shaken. Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced. I will test you with the measuring line of justice and the plumb line of righteousness.

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is a wonderful teacher, and he gives the farmer great wisdom.

Wash yourselves and be clean! Get your sins out of my sight. Give up your evil ways.17Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to see your plan, protect me from deceit, cleanse me from my past and delight with me this day.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

For my people are determined to desert me. They call me the Most High, but they don’t truly honor me.

So now, come back to your God. Act with love and justice, and always depend on him.

Lord God my Father,

Harden my heart against deception and keep me open to your presence. Help me allow your peace to be my only guide.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

I will show love to those I called ‘Not loved. And to those I called ‘Not my people. I will say, ‘Now you are my people. ’And they will reply, ‘You are our God!’”

Lord God my Father,

Thank you for your desire to love me even when I am looking away from you, keep my heart focused on you and protected from deceit.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

He remained faithful to the Lord in everything, and he carefully obeyed all the commands the Lord had given Moses. 7So the Lord was with him, and Hezekiah was successful in everything he did.

Lord God my Father,

Keep my heart close and protect me from wandering. Give me your protection.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

The Lord has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does. He said,12“Don’t call everything a conspiracy, like they do,and don’t live in dread of what frightens them.13Make the Lord of Heaven’s Armies holy in your life.He is the one you should fear.He is the one who should make you tremble.14He will keep you safe.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to listen to your warning and live under your plan in spite of the world today.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
