If you obey my decrees and my regulations, you will find life through them. I am the lord.

Lord God, you made it simple, I make it hard. Lord God, direct my way and give me power over my sinful ways and give me strength to resist this world and only follow you. You give me power over my sin nature, now protect me from the ways that distract me from living a life which is pleasing to you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

and the glory of the lord appeared to the whole community. 24Fire blazed forth from the lord’s presence and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When the people saw this, they shouted with joy and fell face down on the ground.

Lord God,
May I please you by living obedient to you today. Remove the distractions and allow me to live by your desire today and release your glory to all I come in contact with this day.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Then Moses told the Levites, “Today you have ordained yourselves for the service of the lord, for you obeyed him even though it meant killing your own sons and brothers. Today you have earned a blessing.”

Lord God, Turn my heart against my way, allow me to release my tendency to blame others for my sin and accept full responsibility for my sn and turn it over to you to destroy. Lord God, purify my heart and turn me towards you and away from this world and help me to shine your glory above any desire I have to shine mine.

Then I will live among the people of Israel and be their God, 46and they will know that I am the lord their God. I am the one who brought them out of the land of Egypt so that I could live among them. I am the lord their God.

Lord God, why is it so hard to believe in your power in my life. Lord God, I see you everywhere in creation but I struggle in allowing you to be Lord over my life. I pray Lord for your pure goodness and grace to overwhelm my own selfish desire and that I my release my own desires and allow you to have your way.

Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it aloud to the people. Again they all responded, “We will do everything the lord has commanded. We will obey.”

Lord God my father,
Soften my heart so it can be reshaped in your image, make my ways apparent to me so I may turn from them and surrender to your way, Lord protect my thoughts and keep the ways of the world away from me so I may only have thoughts that are pleasing to you, Direct my actions so I may delight you.

He said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the lord your God and do what is right in his sight,

Lord God,
Place on my heart a desire to listen to you and soften my heart to do your will without delay. Lord God, I am too weak to do what is before me, I crave your power to push me forward and pray my actions will release your glory in your kingdom. May defeat the enemy with your power and strength and bring you glory.

Then the lord said to Moses, “Return to Pharaoh and make your demands again. I have made him and his officials stubbornso I can display my miraculous signs among them

The lord caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the Israelites, and they gave the Israelites whatever they asked for.

Lord God, you have made me stubborn so you can display your miraculous signs thru me. I pray Lord that you would soften my heart so I may allow your power to flow thru me and do amazing things to reveal your glory in your works in me. Soften my heart and protect me from evil thoughts and allow your glory to be my life force.
In Jesus name,
Amen

But Moses protested to God, “Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?”
12God answered, “I will be with you.

But Moses protested again, “What if they won’t believe me or listen to me? What if they say, ‘The lord never appeared to you’?”

So Moses told the people of Israel what the lord had said, but they refused to listen anymore. They had become too discouraged by the brutality of their slavery.

Lord God,
May my protest against your desires for me make me strong, overcome my suborn ways and give me the strength to overcome and release your glory I have covered with fear,in me and lets overcome my weakness together.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Lord God,
may I submit to your every desire for me. Lord protect me from my sinful way and deliver me into our delightful path. Lord may I stop struggling to understand and simply follow you will for me.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Judah recognized them immediately and said, “She is more righteous than I am, because I didn’t arrange for her to marry my son Shelah.” And Judah never slept with Tamar again.

In Jesus name,
Amen
