Oh to give God complete freedom in me

For God speaks again and again,
though people do not recognize it.

He whispers in their ears
and terrifies them with warnings.
17He makes them turn from doing wrong;

For the godless are full of resentment.
Even when he punishes them,
they refuse to cry out to him for help.

Do not long for the cover of night,
for that is when people will be destroyed.
21Be on guard! Turn back from evil,
for God sent this suffering
to keep you from a life of evil.

Who gives intuition to the heart
and instinct to the mind?

Lord God my creator,
Strike my arrogance from me and replace my so called wisdom with your desire, help me to release my way so I may walk closely with you this day. Lord God, make my heart soft so I may hear you and all your wisdom without my past to influence it. May I walk with you and delight you this day.

In Jesus name,
Amen

To live in nothing but Truth.

I helped those without hope, and they blessed me.

“I made a covenant with my eyes
not to look with lust at a young woman.
2For what has God above chosen for us?
What is our inheritance from the Almighty on high?
3Isn’t it calamity for the wicked
and misfortune for those who do evil?
4Doesn’t he see everything I do
and every step I take?

“Have I tried to hide my sins like other people do,
concealing my guilt in my heart?

Lord God,
May I have the integrity of Job, May I desire to remove the worldly lies from my spirit and focus only on your desires. May I live a life without blame and please you with all I do.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Not here but there.

Even if I have sinned,
that is my concern, not yours.
5You think you’re better than I am,
using my humiliation as evidence of my sin.
6But it is God who has wronged me,
capturing me in his net.

“But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
and he will stand upon the earth at last.
26And after my body has decayed,
yet in my body I will see God!
27I will see him for myself.
Yes, I will see him with my own eyes.
I am overwhelmed at the thought!

Lord God, May I care only of your desire, not the desire of this world, protect me from conforming to worldly ways, reveal your way to me and give me power over my earthly desire and only focus on you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Control, where is it?

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.

O Lord God,
You alone are in control, I fool myself by being in control, only by my complete surrender to your desires for me will I find peace. Lord God, give me the strength and wisdom to be obedient to you and to stop wallowing in my own pity. Help me to turn loose your power bottled up in me so I may live complete in your glory.

In Jesus name,
Amen

over it

Then I could speak to him without fear,
but I cannot do that in my own strength.

Lord God,
I am too weak to breathe or to walk on your earth. I am weary and tired of this struggle, I give up.
Lord God, take this broken life and put it together under your authority, my way leads me back into darkness. I am a failure on my own. Lord God, I give up, I surrender, I have no more desires.
I submit wholeheartedly to you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Integrity

a man of complete integrity. He feared God and stayed away from evil.

For Job said to himself, “Perhaps my children have sinned and have cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular practice.

Job stood up and tore his robe in grief. Then he shaved his head and fell to the ground to worship. 21He said,
“I came naked from my mother’s womb,
and I will be naked when I leave.
The lord gave me what I had,
and the lord has taken it away.
Praise the name of the lord!”

Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and nights. No one said a word to Job, for they saw that his suffering was too great for words.

Lord God,
May I be a man of integrity, May my thoughts be pure and my heart focused on you. Lord God, I lift up my children and wife and pray for protection for them, shine your light on them and open their hearts to accept your council. May I support and pray for them from a true loving position, to bring your glory to light in this world of darkness.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Anger is a symptom of living in the flesh.

6“Why are you so angry?” the lord asked Cain. “Why do you look so dejected? 7You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.”

6So the lord was sorry he had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke his heart.

Lord God,
Make me aware of any anger living in my spirit so I may surrender it to your care, Allow me to love unconditionally and remove my sin nature that creates the anger in me and deliver me from the desires of this world so I may only delight you, not disappoint you.

There is only one authority that is True!

Everyone was burned by this blast of heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had control over all these plagues. They did not repent of their sins and turn to God and give him glory.

They cursed God because of the terrible plague of the hailstorm.

The kings of the world have committed adultery with her, and the people who belong to this world have been made drunk by the wine of her immorality.”

For your merchants were the greatest in the world,
and you deceived the nations with your sorceries.

Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.

And the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who did mighty miracles on behalf of the beast—miracles that deceived all who had accepted the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue.

Outside the city are the dogs—the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idol worshipers, and all who love to live a lie.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s holy people.

Lord God,
May I only curse the evil which is around me and only give you glory, glory of your love for me, a love that disciplines and makes me aware of the wrong that lives in me. Lord God, have your way with me and purify me so I may live in your glory, not the so called glory of this world. Protect me and keep me under your authority, not the authority of this world.
In Jesus name,
Amen

To Really Love

Love means doing what God has commanded us, and he has commanded us to love one another,

Be diligent so that you receive your full reward.

Lord God,
May I surrender to love others as you love me. Help me to overcome my ways and conditions I place on loving and accept the world as it is and love it as you do.
In Jesus name,
Amen
