The prophets and priests continue with their work,
but they don’t know what they’re doing.”

We hoped for a time of healing, but found only terror.
20lord, we confess our wickedness
and that of our ancestors, too.
We all have sinned against you.
21For the sake of your reputation, lord, do not abandon us.

Then the lord said to me, “Even if Moses and Samuel stood before me pleading for these people, I wouldn’t help them. Away with them! Get them out of my sight!

“If you return to me, I will restore you
so you can continue to serve me.
If you speak good words rather than worthless ones,
you will be my spokesman.
You must influence them;
do not let them influence you!

19lord, you are my strength and fortress,
my refuge in the day of trouble!
Nations from around the world
will come to you and say,
“Our ancestors left us a foolish heritage,
for they worshiped worthless idols.
20Can people make their own gods?
These are not real gods at all!”
21The lord says,
“Now I will show them my power;
now I will show them my might.
At last they will know and understand
that I am the lord.

Why are the wicked so prosperous?
Why are evil people so happy?
2You have planted them,
and they have taken root and prospered.

My people have planted wheat
but are harvesting thorns.
They have worn themselves out,
but it has done them no good.

Lord God, wicked is so close, it is everywhere. Good is a lack of wicked, help me remove all wicked thoughts, actions, habits. Restore me to a pureness by replacing my ways with yours. May I delight in serving you today.
In Jesus name,
Amen

“Tell them all this, but do not expect them to listen. Shout out your warnings, but do not expect them to respond. 28Say to them, ‘This is the nation whose people will not obey the lord their God and who refuse to be taught. Truth has vanished from among them; it is no longer heard on their lips.

Lord God, Soften my heart so I may hear you and only you. Remove the lies I have been taught and believed, May I live in your truth and shine it to the world around me.

In Jesus name,
Amen

“if you wanted to return to me, you could.
You could throw away your detestable idols
and stray away no more.
2Then when you swear by my name, saying,
‘As surely as the lord lives,’
you could do so
with truth, justice, and righteousness.
Then you would be a blessing to the nations of the world,
and all people would come and praise my name.”
O Jerusalem, cleanse your heart
that you may be saved.
How long will you harbor
your evil thoughts?
My people are foolish
and do not know me,” says the lord.
“They are stupid children
who have no understanding.
They are clever enough at doing wrong,
but they have no idea how to do right!”

Lord God, open the eyes of America and me, Lord God, I pray for your authority to rule over me, my family and my nation. Lord God, open my eyes to things I can do so your truth can be seen thru me. Help this country to turn back to your authority and stop worshiping idols of lies. May I be used in your favor, cleanse me of my past and lead me in a path of truth, protect me from my old sinful ways.

In Jesus name,
Amen

They did not ask, ‘Where is the lord
Israel is like a thief
who feels shame only when he gets caught.
Admit that you rebelled against the lord your God
and committed adultery against him

Lord God, Help me to always seek you first, above every decision I make, every action I do. Eliminate the desire to do wrong so I can live just one life, a life with you. I admit I have rebelled against you, I give you that part of me and ask forgiveness and for healing of our relationship. May I delight in you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

They think only about sinning.
Misery and destruction always follow them.
We know we have rebelled and have denied the lord.
We have turned our backs on our God.

Why have you given us stubborn hearts so we no longer fear you?
Return and help us, for we are your servants,

Lord God,
I have lived in this world all my life, this world of sin. Lord God I pray for you to remove me from this place and place me in your world, May I live in your truth not the truth I have learned but your pure, undiluted powerful truth. May I also wear your cloak of divine passion, may I be on fire for your desire to burn in me. Release me from my heart so stubborn and hard from this life and surrender it to you for absolute healing and grace. May I only serve you, period, end of discussion, exclusive,,,,,,,,,,,,

I will comfort those who mourn,
19bringing words of praise to their lips.
May they have abundant peace, both near and far,”

Lord God,
May I find my peace in you, help me to release what I think is progress and peace in my soul and allow you to live thru me, help me to stop searching so hard for you and just allow you to have your way with me.

In Jesus name,
Amen

The lord called me before my birth;
from within the womb he called me by name.
I replied, “But my work seems so useless!
I have spent my strength for nothing and to no purpose.
Yet I leave it all in the lord’s hand;
I will trust God for my reward.”
Then you will know that I am the lord.
Those who trust in me will never be put to shame.”
But I will reveal my name to my people, and they will come to know its power. Then at last they will recognize that I am the one who speaks to them.”

And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God,
a punishment for his own sins!
5But he was pierced for our rebellion,
crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
He was whipped so we could be healed.
6All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.
We have left God’s paths to follow our own.

Lord God, May I understand how much you know and love me. May I place ALL of my life in your loving hands and TRUST you to care for my needs. Lord God, I surrender, I am so tired I cannot be thought of as a man, without your power driving me I am weak and broken. Rebuild me in your image and set me free of my past, may I live for you, with you.

In Jesus Name,
Amen

“Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem,
a firm and tested stone.
It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on.
Whoever believes need never be shaken.

So the lord must wait for you to come to him
so he can show you his love and compassion.
For the lord is a faithful God.
Blessed are those who wait for his help.

Lord God, It is amazing how you reveal your message everyday. You tell us what will happen if I live with you or without. You reveal so many lessons from your people and how they live. You expose my soul. May I accept your wisdom and live in your grace instead of struggling with my own wisdom. Oh how stubborn I am, may I be stubborn for you.

In Jesus name
Amen

“What sorrow awaits those who argue with their Creator.
Does a clay pot argue with its maker?
Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying,
‘Stop, you’re doing it wrong!’
No one sees me,’ you said.
But your ‘wisdom’ and ‘knowledge’ have led you astray,
So disaster will overtake you,
and you won’t be able to charm it away.

Lord God,
I am sorry for my arrogance and not following you wholehearted. I have filtered your desire for me to avoid doing or not doing your work. I have not truly followed you. Lord hod please remove my will and replace it with your will. Use me as a tool to do your will. Do not allow satan to use my gifts to turn me away from you. Humble me to the point I have no other choice but to follow you for my deliverance from my own prison.

In Jesus name,
Amen
