“If only the Lord had killed us back in Egypt,” they moaned. 

‘Present yourselves before the Lord, for he has heard your complaining.’” 

Tomorrow will be a day of complete rest, a holy Sabbath day set apart for the Lord.

Lord God my Father,

Keep me from moaning and focused on your desire. Help me to rest in your Truth completely.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded them.

Then you will know that I am the Lord and that I am present even in the heart of your land.

“All right, go ahead,” Pharaoh replied. “I will let you go into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord your God. But don’t go too far away. Now hurry and pray for me.”

But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and just as the Lord had predicted to Moses, Pharaoh refused to listen.

Lord God my Father,

Open my heart and show me the stubborn areas I struggle with, I wish to freely do your will in all areas of my life, use me for your purpose, do this in your time and grant me patience in your plan.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

In his hand he carried the staff of God.

But Pharaoh shouted, “You’re just lazy! Lazy! That’s why you’re saying, ‘Let us go and offer sacrifices to the Lord.

The foremen said to them, “May the Lord judge and punish you for making us stink before Pharaoh and his officials

You can be sure that I have heard the groans of the people of Israel, who are now slaves to the Egyptians. And I am well aware of my covenant with them.

But I will make Pharaoh’s heart stubborn so I can multiply my miraculous signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.

Lord God my Father,

Give me the confidence and relationships that release your power in my life. Guide me in doing your will and hear my desire to serve you. Give me persistence in doing your will.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

He looked down on the people of Israel and knew it was time to act.

“Here I am!” Moses replied.

11But Moses protested to God, “Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?”12God answered, “I will be with you. 

But Moses protested again, “What if they won’t believe me or listen to me? What if they say, ‘The Lord never appeared to you’?”

But Moses pleaded with the Lord, “O Lord, I’m not very good with words. I never have been, and I’m not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled.”11Then the Lord asked Moses, “Who makes a person’s mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the Lord? 

13But Moses again pleaded, “Lord, please! Send anyone else.”14Then the Lord became angry with Moses. “All right,” he said. “What about your brother, Aaron

Lord God my Father,

I know your timing is perfect, remove my doubt in your plan and move me forward in your work. Help me to remove any doubt in my ability to do your work and deliver me to your plan without my argument. You are perfect, I am not.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

If you lay a hand on it,you will certainly remember the battle that follows.You won’t try that again!

I take back everything I said,and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.”

After the Lord had finished speaking to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken accurately about me, as my servant Job has. 

When Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before!

So the Lord blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning. 

Lord God my Father,

Your rite, I am arrogant in my thoughts, I think I have figured you out sometimes and I finish your thoughts in my head. Lord quiet me to the point I don’t think any more but listen for your guidance.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

This just occurred to me, Faith and Love are interchangeable. faith in God, faith in my wife, faith in my self and the abilities He as given me. I have to remove the conditions on all things of faith to release the power of His love in how I love. Waiting for my wife to show me unconditional love before loving her unconditionally just hasn’t worked out. Unconditional faith in how I love her has actually helped us draw closer, go figure. The same holds true with God. I have to take the if’s and when’s out of my life, then His peace can lead me.

For God speaks again and again,though people do not recognize it. He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night,when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds. He whispers in their ears and terrifies them with warnings. He makes them turn from doing wrong;he keeps them from pride.

Lord God my Father

Open my spirit to hear your direction for me, allow me to release your truth in my life and follow only that truth without delay.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Let my accuser write out the charges against me.36I would face the accusation proudly.I would wear it like a crown.37For I would tell him exactly what I have done.I would come before him like a prince.

Lord God my Father,

Bring me a spirit of confidence based on your truth in my life, separate me from my sinful nature and restore me to your original plan. I surrender my past to your care, be with me now and guide me in your way.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

while I have breath from God,4my lips will speak no evil,and my tongue will speak no lies.5I will never concede that you are right;I will defend my integrity until I die.6I will maintain my innocence without wavering.My conscience is clear for as long as I live.

‘The fear of the Lord is true wisdom;to forsake evil is real understanding.’

Lord God my Father,

Give me the heart of Job where I only have praise and trust in you alone. You are my creator and know my path better than me, help me to follow your path without hesitation, may I only please you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

While listening to Job defend himself to his friends I learn that I don’t have nearly the same confidence in my faith and walk as Job does. I need to remove doubt and surrender my will to have this kind of faith, a faith protected from Satan’s deception. Single minded faith under God’s authority.

Lord God my father,

Restore my faith to be as you designed it to be. Protect me from deception and give me a peace that only you know.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“He uncovers mysteries hidden in darkness;he brings light to the deepest gloom.

God might kill me, but I have no other hope. I am going to argue my case with him.16But this is what will save me—I am not godless.If I were, I could not stand before him.

Tell me, what have I done wrong?Show me my rebellion and my sin.24Why do you turn away from me?Why do you treat me as your enemy?25Would you terrify a leaf blown by the wind?Would you chase dry straw?

Lord God my Father,

Open me up, show me my secrets I am avoiding, restore me to your great design. Give me the ability to live with you completely in the moment forgetting the poor decisions of my past. Unbind me from myself.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
