A heart with a single focus

I will give them hearts that recognize me as the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me wholeheartedly.

Lord God, my Father,
Give me a heart that is only longing for you, may it recognize you as the only Lord. Give me power to turn away from the gods I may worship here and give my full attention to you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

addicted to false glory

Perhaps the Lord will be gracious and do a mighty miracle as he has done in the past.

Lord God,
you are a gracious God, A loving God, deliver me from my sinful way so I may walk with you in your glory. Help me to stop looking for glory in the wrong places but to find it thru you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

To purely follow

He is the living God and the everlasting King!

15Idols are worthless; they are ridiculous lies!

They no longer seek wisdom from the Lord.
Therefore, they fail completely,

Let me see your vengeance against them,
for I have committed my cause to you.

5“If racing against mere men makes you tired,
how will you race against horses?
If you stumble and fall on open ground,
what will you do in the thickets near the Jordan?

Lord God,
You are alive and with me at all times, keep my eyes open and focused on you. The things of this world that distract me are meaningless. May I seek your wisdom in all things this day. Give me strength over the worthless struggles I fall into and keep me on the path that leads to revealing your glory in this life.

In Jesus name,
Amen

My Lord, My only God.

“Don’t say, ‘I’m too young,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. 8And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you.

They did not ask, ‘Where is the Lord
who brought us safely out of Egypt
and led us through the barren wilderness—

“Israel is like a thief
who feels shame only when he gets caught.

she thought nothing of committing adultery by worshiping idols made of wood and stone.

I will not be angry with you forever.
13Only acknowledge your guilt.
Admit that you rebelled against the Lord your God
and committed adultery against him
by worshiping idols under every green tree.
Confess that you refused to listen to my voice.
I, the Lord, have spoken!

“My wayward children,” says the Lord,
“come back to me, and I will heal your wayward hearts.”

Lord God,
Give me your courage and deliver me from the past where I was weak. Purify my heart so I may live in this moment with you in charge where fear cannot hide in me. Remove the distractions that catch my attention and steer me off your path. Forgive and allow me to forgive my past. Make me pure in your light. I admit I am a sinner prone to things of this world, I wish to be with you now. My way is stupid, make me wise and courageous. Reveal and remove my idols so you are my only God. I wish to only honor you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

New in Him

“I will search with lanterns in Jerusalem’s darkest corners
to punish those who sit complacent in their sins.

No one can tell it anything;
it refuses all correction.
It does not trust in the Lord
or draw near to its God.

Lord God my Father,
Clear my spirit of my ways, take the fearful nature and replace it with your power. Use me to do your will, make me silent so I may Hear you and follow you. Take my stubborn nature and mold me into your servant.

In Jesus name,
Amen

I believe, help me with my disbelief Lord God.

God withdrew from Hezekiah in order to test him and to see what was really in his heart.

But while in deep distress, Manasseh sought the Lord his God and sincerely humbled himself before the God of his ancestors. 13And when he prayed, the Lord listened to him and was moved by his request. So the Lord brought Manasseh back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh finally realized that the Lord alone is God!

Lord God,
I ask to be humbled then I stress when you test me. Lord God, you are my father, my creator, in you I trust now remove my doubts and make me strong in you alone. I am unable to wipe my nose without you much less lead a glory filled life revealing you to myself and others around me. Give me your focus and power to overcome my doubts and live truly large in your name.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

Stubborn for the Lord.

He clothed himself with a robe of vengeance
and wrapped himself in a cloak of divine passion.
18He will repay his enemies for their evil deeds.

The Redeemer will come to Jerusalem
to buy back those in Israel
who have turned from their sins,”#59:20 Hebrew The Redeemer will come to Zion / to buy back those in Jacob / who have turned from their sins. Greek version reads The one who rescues will come on behalf of Zion, / and he will turn Jacob away from ungodliness. Compare Rom 11:26.
says the Lord.

Lord, why have you allowed us to turn from your path?
Why have you given us stubborn hearts so we no longer fear you?

Lord God,
I pray for your vengeance on this world, Lord, purify my spirit, remove my character defects and make me pure in your desire. Buy back my soul and turn me back to your path. Make my heart stubborn for you alone.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Truly take a Sabbath

Blessed are those who honor my Sabbath days of rest
and keep themselves from doing wrong.

I restore the crushed spirit of the humble
and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts.

Honor the Sabbath in everything you do on that day,
and don’t follow your own desires or talk idly.
14Then the Lord will be your delight.
I will give you great honor
and satisfy you with the inheritance I promised to your ancestor Jacob.
I, the Lord, have spoken!”

Lord God,
Remove the area of my life that keeps me from a true Sabbath. Restore my soul to it’s design to be in you. May I honor your name and give you honor.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Wahoo Day!

Because the Sovereign Lord helps me,
I will not be disgraced.
Therefore, I have set my face like a stone,
determined to do his will.
And I know that I will not be put to shame.

Abraham was only one man when I called him.
But when I blessed him, he became a great nation.”

Lord God,
You are my strength and my focus. I will set my path in your hands, rest my efforts in your will. Lord God, I am determined to do your work this day, don’t let any distractions stand in my way. May it be a day of Glory and may I uncover your Glory that is covered by this world today.

In Jesus name,
Amen
