Lord, you are searching for honesty.You struck your people,but they paid no attention.You crushed them,but they refused to be corrected.They are determined, with faces set like stone;they have refused to repent.

Lord God my Father,

Clear my heart from compromise, make me whole under your authority. Bring boldness and compassion in my words for your glory.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

 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 my Father,

I am arrogant and don’t know you, please direct my path and keep me under your authority.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

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

Oh, that you would burst from the heavens and come down! How the mountains would quake in your presence!264:2 Verses 64:2-12 are numbered 64:1-11 in Hebrew text. As fire causes wood to burn and water to boil, your coming would make the nations tremble. Then your enemies would learn the reason for your fame!

We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind.7Yet no one calls on your name or pleads with you for mercy. Therefore, you have turned away from us and turned us over64:7 As in Greek, Syriac, and Aramaic versions; Hebrew reads melted us. to our sins.

Lord God my Father,

Soften my heart, help me to turn away from my desire, place only your desire before me. Purify me from my past, forgive my arrogance and restore my soul.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“Keep the Sabbath day holy.Don’t pursue your own interests on that day,but enjoy the Sabbathand speak of it with delight as the Lord’s holy day.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

It’s your sins that have cut you off from God.Because of your sins, he has turned awayand will not listen anymore.

As with cattle going down into a peaceful valley,the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest.You led your people, Lord,and gained a magnificent reputation.”

Lord God my Father,

Hold me close, direct me to do your will, remove my smarter than you attitude so I may live completely under your authority. I wish to live as designed by you so I may experience and pass your Peace to others.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Who has believed our message? To whom has the Lord revealed his powerful arm?

I will comfort those who mourn,19bringing words of praise to their lips. May they have abundant peace, both near and far, ”says the Lord, who heals them.20“But those who still reject me are like the restless sea, which is never still but continually churns up mud and dirt.21There is no peace for the wicked, ”says my God.

“At just the right time, I will respond to you.49:8 Greek version reads I heard you. Compare 2 Cor 6:2.On the day of salvation I will help you.I will protect you and give you to the peopleas my covenant with them.Through you I will reestablish the land of Israeland assign it to its own people again.9I will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out in freedom,’and to those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’They will be my sheep, grazing in green pastures

“But there is no peace for the wicked, ”says the Lord.

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.8He who gives me justice is near.

My name is blasphemed all day long. 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.”

Allow your peace to rest on me, keep my path directed towards you, Reveal your desire for me.

Amen

I, the Lord, speak only what is true and declare only what is right.

Remember the things I have done in the past. For I alone am God! I am God, and there is none like me.10 Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass,

“Listen to me, you stubborn people who are so far from doing right.13For I am ready to set things right, not in the distant future, but right now!

I will rescue you for my sake—yes, for my own sake! I will not let my reputation be tarnished, and I will not share my glory with idols!

Lord God my Father,

Help me to completely trust in your plan and carry your peace in my heart. I know who you are and always be, may I honor and trust in your plan.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.

You see and recognize what is rightbut refuse to act on it.You hear with your ears,but you don’t really listen.

“Do not be afraid, for I am with you.I will gather you and your children from east and west.

“But forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I am going to do.19For I am about to do something new.See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?

Lord God my Father,

I trust you only, give me direction and courage to do your will. Help me to reach the lost in your name and unite my family under your authority.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Hezekiah, the leader of my people. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your ancestor David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you, and three days from now you will get out of bed and go to the Temple of the Lord. 6I will add fifteen years to your life, and I will rescue you and this city from the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my own honor and for the sake of my servant David.’”

Now I will walk humbly throughout my years because of this anguish I have felt.16Lord, your discipline is good, for it leads to life and health. You restore my health and allow me to live!17Yes, this anguish was good for me, for you have rescued me from death and forgiven all my sins.

Lord God my Father,

Discipline me and keep me humble, create in me on obedience to bring honor to you in how I care for myself and others. Give me boldness to be your light where ever you send me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
