Now God had given the chief of staff both respect and affection for Daniel.

 the God whom we serve is able to save us.

“Praise to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He sent his angel to rescue his servants who trusted in him. They defied the king’s command and were willing to die rather than serve or worship any god except their own God. 

 All his acts are just and true, and he is able to humble the proud.”

Lord God my Father,

Give me your wisdom to do your will in my life, save me from my way and give me strength to defy Satan’s influence. Make me just and true in your way.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

And this is the basic law of the Temple: absolute holiness! 

Lord God my Father,

Help me to surrender the rest of my way to you and do it your way, Give me courage to overcome my resistance to your desire for me and make me whole in your purpose.

In Jesus name I pray

See, I care about you, and I will pay attention to you. Your ground will be plowed and your crops planted.

 “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord! 

9Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to the winds,

Lord God my Father,

I know you care for me, Please give me your power to defeat the idols I place in my life so I may live wholheartedly under your authority alone. Bring me back to the life you designed for me and allow me to fill your desires. Speak to me and have me listen.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

I myself will tend my sheep and give them a place to lie down in peace, says the Sovereign Lord. 16I will search for my lost ones who strayed away, and I will bring them safely home again. 

“Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols. 26And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.

Lord God my Father,

I surrender to your care and am so grateful as to your heart for me. Make me clean from my poor decisions and restore my heart to how you created it to be.
In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Then if those who hear the alarm refuse to take action, it is their own fault if they die. They heard the alarm but ignored it, so the responsibility is theirs. If they had listened to the warning, they could have saved their lives. 

“Son of man, give the people of Israel this message: You are saying, ‘Our sins are heavy upon us; we are wasting away! How can we survive?’ As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people. I only want them to turn from their wicked ways so they can live. Turn! Turn from your wickedness, O people of Israel! Why should you die?

 obey my life-giving laws, 

Lord God my Father,

Open my ears so I may hear your warning, Allow me to see my sinful way and surrender my will to your care and desire for me. I wish to truly live in your blessing and law.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Again and again you remind me of your sin and your guilt. You don’t even try to hide it! In everything you do, your sins are obvious for all to see. 

They disregard my Sabbath days so that I am dishonored among them.

Lord God my Father,

I pray for your truth to grow in my desire and in my family. Lord God may I grow in favor with you doing what I can and allowing you to do what I can’t. May I honor you by learning the truth about your Sabbath.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

For all people are mine to judge—both parents and children alike.

Repent, and turn from your sins. Don’t let them destroy you! 31Put all your rebellion behind you, and find yourselves a new heart and a new spirit.

Then I said to them, ‘Each of you, get rid of the vile images you are so obsessed with.

There I gave them my decrees and regulations so they could find life by keeping them. 12And I gave them my Sabbath days of rest as a sign between them and me.

They scorned my decrees by violating my Sabbath days 

Lord God my Father,

I am yours, you have a plan for me that reveals your glory, Show me the way to be delivered from my idols and place all my desire in you. Help me to find your Sabbath in my life.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

As you lay there, I said, ‘Live!’

it is I, the Lord, who cuts the tall tree down and makes the short tree grow tall. 

Lord God my Father,

You chose me to give life to, you know my life before I live it. Lord God, direct me back to the life you chose for me, the life I decided to live for myself is foolish, I only want to live for you the rest of my days. Make me strong in your desire and protect me from my fears that weaken me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

You have all wisdom and do great and mighty miracles. You see the conduct of all people, and you give them what they deserve.

They will be my people, and I will be their God. 39And I will give them one heart and one purpose: to worship me forever, for their own good and for the good of all their descendants.

Lord God my Father,

You are all knowing, you know me completely. Deliver me from my ways and restore me to your design for me. I am tired of fighting you for control I wish to just follow you now. I am yours.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“Walk through the streets of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of all who weep and sigh because of the detestable sins being committed in their city.”

I know what you are saying, for I know every thought that comes into your minds.

Again a message came to me from the Lord: 2“Son of man, you live among rebels who have eyes but refuse to see. They have ears but refuse to hear. For they are a rebellious people.

Lord God my Father,

I regret my rebellious ways from the past and beg you remove that nature from me and replace it with your Truth. Cleanse my thoughts and bless my lips to only speak your Truth and Glory so those who don’t see, will.
