“You were blameless in all you did from the day you were created until the day evil was found in you.16Your rich commerce led you to violence, and you sinned.

And the day will come when I will cause the ancient glory of Israel to revive, and then, Ezekiel, your words will be respected. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to become blameless by growing closer to you and leave my sinful nature behind so your Glory will have freedom in me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

You will never be rebuilt, for I, the Lord, have spoken. Yes, the Sovereign Lord has spoken!

Lord God my Father,

Protect me from destruction and show me the correct path.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

You brought all this on yourself by prostituting yourself to other nations, defiling yourself with all their idols. 

“Now this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Bring an army against them and hand them over to be terrorized and plundered. 

In this way, I will put an end to lewdness and idolatry in the land, and my judgment will be a warning to all women not to follow your wicked example. 

Lord God my Father,

Protect me and keep me strong in your desire to overcome temptation. Reveal my sin nature and direct me away from it and towards your perfect Love. Change me to your desire for me and away from my nature.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Righteous people will be rewarded for their own righteous behavior, and wicked people will be punished for their own wickedness. 21But if wicked people turn away from all their sins and begin to obey my decrees and do what is just and right, they will surely live and not die. 22All their past sins will be forgotten, and they will live because of the righteous things they have done.

And I gave them my Sabbath days of rest as a sign between them and me. It was to remind them that I am the Lord, who had set them apart to be holy.

Lord God my Father,

Draw me close and lead me to be righteous among the people. I want to obey your will but struggle with my own. Give me power over myself and deliver me to your way, may I honor you in all I do.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“But you thought your fame and beauty were your own. 

Lord God my Father,

You are perfect, good, Truth, Peace and Love. Good only comes from you. I am broken and a sinner, I need your guidance to get past my weakness and into your light. Draw me close and protect me from myself.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

You have discouraged the righteous with your lies, but I didn’t want them to be sad. And you have encouraged the wicked by promising them life, even though they continue in their sins. 

 When I turn against them, you will know that I am the Lord.

Lord God my Father,

We have turned from you and deserve to be removed from your presence, help us to return to your truth and Love, this chaos is not your way. I love you Lord, use me even thou I am useless on my own.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Son of man, you live among rebels who have eyes but refuse to see. They have ears but refuse to hear. For they are a rebellious people.

Lord God my Father,

Recover my broken heart and restore it to your way and away from my rebellious way. I want to hear and follow you without compromise.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

 You have not even lived up to the standards of the nations around you. 8Therefore, I myself, the Sovereign Lord, am now your enemy. I will punish you publicly while all the nations watch. 9Because of your detestable idols, I will punish you like I have never punished anyone before or ever will again.

Then when they are exiled among the nations, they will remember me. They will recognize how hurt I am by their unfaithful hearts and lustful eyes that long for their idols. Then at last they will hate themselves for all their detestable sins.

Soon I will pour out my fury on you and unleash my anger against you. I will call you to account for all your detestable sins.

“Have you seen this, son of man?” he asked. “Is it nothing to the people of Judah that they commit these detestable sins, leading the whole nation into violence, thumbing their noses at me, and provoking my anger? 18Therefore, I will respond in fury. I will neither pity nor spare them. And though they cry for mercy, I will not listen.”

Lord God my Father,

Forgive my sin and give me your power to overcome it. Protect me in my thoughts and actions and turn me back to your Truth, help me to draw others to you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says!’ 5And whether they listen or refuse to listen—for remember, they are rebels—at least they will know they have had a prophet among them.

But when I give you a message, I will loosen your tongue and let you speak. Then you will say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says!’ Those who choose to listen will listen, but those who refuse will refuse, for they are rebels.

Then I said, “O Sovereign Lord, must I be defiled by using human dung? For I have never been defiled before. From the time I was a child until now I have never eaten any animal that died of sickness or was killed by other animals. I have never eaten any meat forbidden by the law.”15“All right,” the Lord said. “You may bake your bread with cow dung instead of human dung.” 

Lord God my Father,

Protect me from my rebellious nature, keep me close and focused on your Truth. Give me courage and strength to stand for your will no matter the cost to me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

The Lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him.26So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.27And it is good for people to submit at an early age to the yoke of his discipline:

Lord God my Father,

I depend on you for everything, my hope is in you and my heart desires to do your will. Remove my evil nature so I may delightfully serve you and not judge.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
