“I will never again remember
their sins and lawless deeds.”10:17 Jer 31:34b.
18And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices.

So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! 36Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

Lord God my Father,
Take my past from me, complete with my memories. Allow me to forget the time when I didn’t pursue you and deliver me into your forgiven family to be free to share your grace. Allow me to live free from the bondage of the past into a more perfect present led by your Holy Spirit.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted.

So if you are suffering in a manner that pleases God, keep on doing what is right, and trust your lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you.

Lord God my Father,
Purify my heart and keep me under your care. Remove or resolve any divisions I may have with others and keep me in the present with you and not in my past.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

But God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of his great patience with even the worst sinners. Then others will realize that they, too, can believe in him and receive eternal life.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me, 24and he said, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul,

Lord God my Father,
Open my eyes so I may see you, open my ears so I may hear you, open my spirit so I may follow you. Protect me from the way that is not you and teach me how to live completely surrendered to your will.

In Jesus name I pray,

‘The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and hear him speak.

‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is useless for you to fight against my will.

Lord God my Father,
You always have been so why do I doubt you in my thoughts. You have the power to overcome my lifetime of resisting you and place your peace on me. I call on you to wash me clean from my past and give me your truth to consume me and protect me from my own thoughts. It is useless for me to fight you, I want your will over my own.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

“Don’t be afraid! Speak out! Don’t be silent! 10For I am with you, and no one will attack and harm you,

Lord God my Father,
It is in you I find myself. Give me courage to speak your will and do your will. Protect me from the evil in this world and within me. Purify me so I may live by your grace, allow evil to know you are in me. Purify me from the confusion of this world.

In Jesus name I pray,

Lord God my Father,
Protect me from arrogance, and puffiness in the spirit, may all glory be passed to you. Make me aware of deceit from the great tempter and keep me grounded in your truth. Keep me on your path so I may be led out of my bondage and be a son after your heart only. Forgive my past and deliver me in to your presence clean and new.

In Jesus name I pray,
