Time after time I sent you prophets, who told you, “Turn from your wicked ways, and start doing things right. Stop worshiping other gods so that you might live in peace here in the land I have given to you and your ancestors.”

So Jeremiah took another scroll and dictated again to his secretary, Baruch. He wrote everything that had been on the scroll King Jehoiakim had burned in the fire. Only this time he added much more!

Lord God my Father,
Open my eyes so I may see your desire, open my heart so I may hear your direction. Use your power living in me to cause me to turn away from my sinful ways, may I only follow you. I am unable to turn from my sinful desires without you, save me before it is made worse by my defiance.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

What an incredible evil, causing Judah to sin so greatly!

I will put a desire in their hearts to worship me, and they will never leave me. 41I will find joy doing good for them and will faithfully and wholeheartedly replant them in this land.

Lord God my Father,
Open my eyes to your absolute truth, place in me your desire of worshiping you. Use my life for your purpose.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

You will be my people,
and I will be your God.”

Lord God my Father,
I am yours but I struggle in my surrender to your way. I am selfish and greedy, remove this, give me your power to overcome my ways, may I be your servant.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

Lord God my Father,
I still struggle with my desires over your desire for me. Make my heart pure in your way and give me power over my sinful nature. Make my heart only long for you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

And to those who stubbornly follow their own desires,
they say, ‘No harm will come your way!’

“Therefore,” says the Lord, “I am against these prophets who steal messages from each other and claim they are from me. 31I am against these smooth-tongued prophets who say, ‘This prophecy is from the Lord!’

Lord God my Father,
Soften my stubborn, selfish way and mold me into your child, your desire for me. Give me power and discernment to pursue your truth in this world filled with lies. Allow your truth to rest in me.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

If I announce that a certain nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed, 8but then that nation renounces its evil ways, I will not destroy it as I had planned. 9And if I announce that I will plant and build up a certain nation or kingdom, 10but then that nation turns to evil and refuses to obey me, I will not bless it as I said I would.

He gave justice and help to the poor and needy,
and everything went well for him.
Isn’t that what it means to know me?”
says the Lord.

Lord God my Father,
You are in control, you are in charge, why do I struggle with you. Lord help me to only follow you, bless my thoughts and actions so I may bring you glory. May I bless those around me with your truth, open the hearts of your people.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

No, you are the one, O Lord our God!
Only you can do such things.
So we will wait for you to help us.

But I, the Lord, search all hearts
and examine secret motives.
I give all people their due rewards,
according to what their actions deserve.

Lord God my Father,
I give my thoughts and actions to you this day, I pray your will be done and your glory shine. So often I worship you but rely on my way to live, may I turn over all to you this day. Watch me and direct me in my thoughts, keep me in your will. On my own I always fail, make this day ridiculous for your glory.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

O Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
you make righteous judgments,
and you examine the deepest thoughts and secrets.
Let me see your vengeance against them,
for I have committed my cause to you.

Lord God,
Examine me and remove the thoughts that separate me from you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
6Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.

My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment.
Hang on to them,
22for they will refresh your soul.

Lord God my Father,
Give me discernment over the thoughts in my mind, help me to filter my thoughts out and only hear you. Direct me in your way and may I refresh my soul in you alone.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

‘Obey me, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. Do everything as I say, and all will be well!’

“But my people would not listen to me. They kept doing whatever they wanted, following the stubborn desires of their evil hearts. They went backward instead of forward.

Lord God my Father,
I want to obey but I struggle to. Remove temptation from my heart and make my path pure. When I fall encourage me and keep my eyes open to your truth.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
