Because the entire land has become defiled, I am punishing the people who live there.

So obey my instructions, and do not defile yourselves by committing any of these detestable practices that were committed by the people who lived in the land before you. I am the Lord your God.”

Samuel was displeased with their request and went to the Lord for guidance. “Do everything they say to you,” the Lord replied, “for they are rejecting me, not you. They don’t want me to be their king any longer. Ever since I brought them from Egypt they have continually abandoned me and followed other gods. And now they are giving you the same treatment.

And don’t worry about those donkeys that were lost three days ago, for they have been found. And I am here to tell you that you and your family are the focus of all Israel’s hopes.”

At that time the Spirit of the Lord will come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them. You will be changed into a different person. 

When Saul returned to his home at Gibeah, a group of men whose hearts God had touched went with him. But there were some scoundrels who complained, “How can this man save us?” And they scorned him and refused to bring him gifts. But Saul ignored them.

Lord God my Father,

May I come to you for all decisions and live in the peace that you are in control of everything. Allow you spirit to guide me in powerful ways and keep me under your authority.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Do not stay so far from me,for trouble is near,and no one else can help me.12My enemies surround me like a herd of bulls;

All who seek the Lord will praise him.Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy.

Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth.Remember me in the light of your unfailing love,for you are merciful, O Lord.

Lord God my Father,

I know you are close, help me to always be aware of your presence and rely on you. Keep me from distraction and grow me in the peace of your love.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life. 7All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.

 I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers the prophets, as well as all who obey what is written in this book. Worship only God!”

May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s holy people.

Lord God my Father,

Make me one of your people, a servant to your desire. Your Grace is all I need.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

O God, you have taught me from my earliest childhood,and I constantly tell others about the wonderful things you do.18Now 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.

This I declare about the Lord:He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;he is my God, and I trust him.3For he will rescue you from every trapand protect you from deadly disease.

Lord God my Father,

As I allow you to rest on me, you allow me to experience your Peace, you are my everything.

“Look, today I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse! 27You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today. 28But you will be cursed if you reject the commands of the Lord your God and turn away from him and worship gods you have not known before.

Lord God my Father,

I wish to be obedient to you only, expose deceit for what it is and open my eyes to only see your desire. I choose to honor you only.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Notice how God is both kind and severe. He is severe toward those who disobeyed, but kind to you if you continue to trust in his kindness.

Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Lord God my Father,

Your goodness guides me, when I wander correct me quickly so I may stay in your desire. Protect me from the ways of the world.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
