Direction from the Lord

Uncategorized

When Elkanah slept with Hannah, the Lord remembered her plea,

Why do you keep sinning? 24You must stop, my sons! The reports I hear among the Lord’s people are not good.

But I will honor those who honor me, and I will despise those who think lightly of me.

Lord God my Father,

I plea for you to remember the cry from my heart to release my will from this vessel and allow me to serve you with all my will. Remove the lazy nature and give me strength over my learned ways, the ways that do not serve you. Allow me to raise a family that is under your authority in all it does.

In Jesus name,
Amen

His way

“My Father! If this cup cannot be taken away26:42 Greek If this cannot pass. unless I drink it, your will be done.”

He prayed that, if it were possible, the awful hour awaiting him might pass him by.

Then Jesus left them again and prayed the same prayer as before.

Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”

Lord God,
Prepare me for this day, use me to reach the world in your name. Give me strength over this world to do your will. Keep me close to you and help me to love the difficult to love.

In Jesus name,
Amen

My place to question.

“But what do you think about this? A man with two sons told the older boy, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’ 29The son answered, ‘No, I won’t go,’ but later he changed his mind and went anyway. 30Then the father told the other son, ‘You go,’ and he said, ‘Yes, sir, I will.’ But he didn’t go.
31“Which of the two obeyed his father?”

No one could answer him. And after that, no one dared to ask him any more questions.

Lord God,
May I not question you, may I only obey you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

To expose truth and lies

“I will give you the glory of these kingdoms and authority over them,” the devil said, “because they are mine to give to anyone I please.

13When the devil had finished tempting Jesus, he left him until the next opportunity came.

I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners and need to repent.”

Lord God,
Humble my spirit, allow your presence to be my desire, protect me from this world’s lies. Remove the authority of Satan in this world around me and Help me be obedient to you only. Expose the lies as what they are.

In Jesus name,
Amen

I need to release my desire to understand and wait for his.

For God did not spare even the angels who sinned. He threw them into hell, in gloomy pits of darkness, where they are being held until the day of judgment.

For you are a slave to whatever controls you.

The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake.

But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God’s righteousness.

These people are grumblers and complainers, living only to satisfy their desires.

Lord God,
I ask for protection from my own selfish desires, release me from this world and bond me to yours. May I strive to not desire understanding from this place and wait on your understanding to be revealed to me. Lord God, protect me from my grumbling ways.
In Jesus name,
Amen

To be in His favor

But I will not travel among you, for you are a stubborn and rebellious people. If I did, I would surely destroy you along the way.”

Inside the Tent of Meeting, the lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend.

You have told me, ‘I know you by name, and I look favorably on you.’ 13If it is true that you look favorably on me, let me know your ways so I may understand you more fully and continue to enjoy your favor. And remember that this nation is your very own people.”

“O Lord, if it is true that I have found favor with you, then please travel with us. Yes, this is a stubborn and rebellious people, but please forgive our iniquity and our sins. Claim us as your own special possession.”

“No one may appear before me without an offering.
21“You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but on the seventh day you must stop working, even during the seasons of plowing and harvest.

all whose hearts were willing.

Lord God,
I am willing but I am weak. Lord give me power over my weakness and reveal your power thru me. Allow me to be your servant and use me to do amazing things for your glory. I am tired and weary of my way Lord. May I please you with my actions today and bring glory to you and your Glory to those around me.
In Jesus name,
Amen

I can’t carry all these people by myself! The load is far too heavy! 15If this is how you intend to treat me, just go ahead and kill me. Do me a favor and spare me this misery!”

For you have rejected the lord, who is here among you, and you have whined to him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?”’”

Then the lord said to Moses, “Has my arm lost its power? Now you will see whether or not my word comes true!”

But not with my servant Moses.
Of all my house, he is the one I trust.
8I speak to him face to face,
clearly, and not in riddles!
He sees the lord as he is.

So they spread this bad report about the land among the Israelites:

Lord God,
May I see you for who you are and not put the constraints of my past and my perspective on you. Lord God may I have a pure understanding from you of your aoesome power and your abilities to give me power over my sinful way. Lord God may I delight you and in you this day.

In Jesus name,
Amen

remove my doubt

Why did you make us leave Egypt and bring us here to this terrible place?

Lord God,
Why do I continue to doubt your power in me, Lord God, remove my doubt and push me forward in your confidence and power. Allow me to do ridiculous things for your glory.

In Jesus name,
Amen
