For he does not enjoy hurting people or causing them sorrow. If people crush underfoot all the prisoners of the land, if they deprive others of their right sin defiance of the Most High, if they twist justice in the courts—doesn’t the Lord see all these things?

O beautiful Jerusalem, your punishment will end; you will soon return from exile. But Edom, your punishment is just beginning;soon your many sins will be exposed.

Lord God my Father,

Allow me to understand your peace in such a way I seek only it and protect me from the distractions and compromise that may draw my attention.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Now let them stop worshiping other gods and honoring the relics of their kings, and I will live among them forever.

Lord God my Father,

Expose in me the things I worship that are not of you, Direct me in the way I should go and keep me on your path.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“‘King Nebuchadnezzar, please accept my advice. Stop sinning and do what is right. Break from your wicked past and be merciful to the poor. Perhaps then you will continue to prosper.’

“After this time had passed, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven. My sanity returned, and I praised and worshiped the Most High and honored the one who lives forever.

Lord God my father,

Help me to get past me and surrender completely to you, I am weary of the struggle between my desire and the desire you created me to carry. Make me whole and keep me in your Peace.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

They cried out to God during the battle, and he answered their prayer because they trusted in him. 

Lord God my Father,

Help me to keep you first on my thoughts and cry out to you before I get involved,,,

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

If I announce that some wicked people are sure to die and you fail to tell them to change their ways, then they will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their deaths. 9But if you warn them to repent and they don’t repent, they will die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself.

Lord God my Father,

Make me obedient to your will so I can touch the lost and allow you to work thru me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“O Sovereign Lord,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.”Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

So I spoke the message as he commanded me, and breath came into their bodies. They all came to life and stood up on their feet—a great army. Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones represent the people of Israel. They are saying, ‘We have become old, dry bones—all hope is gone. Our nation is finished.’ Therefore, prophesy to them and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: O my people, I will open your graves of exile and cause you to rise again. Then I will bring you back to the land of Israel. When this happens, O my people, you will know that I am the Lord. 

Lord God my Father,

Help me to live only in your Hope and Truth.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

The Lord, the God of their ancestors, repeatedly sent his prophets to warn them, for he had compassion on his people and his Temple. 16But the people mocked these messengers of God and despised their words. They scoffed at the prophets until the Lord’s anger could no longer be restrained and nothing could be done.

Lord, see my anguish!My heart is brokenand my soul despairs,for I have rebelled against you.In the streets the sword kills,and at home there is only death.

Lord God my Father,

Open my ears so I may hear you and hear you only, I am broken by my past sin and you have forgiven me. Help me to live this day in your presence, free from my past and only in your glory.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

And I will give them one heart and one purpose: to worship me forever, for their own good and for the good of all their descendants. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good for them. I will put a desire in their hearts to worship me, and they will never leave me.

Lord God my Father,

Again I plea with you to remove my sinful nature, Give me focus on your way only, forgive me for my weakness and allow me to use your strength to do your will this day. May it all be for your Glory.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

And so I handed her over to her Assyrian lovers, whom she desired so much. They stripped her, took away her children as their slaves, and then killed her. After she received her punishment, her reputation was known to every woman in the land.11“Yet even though Oholibah saw what had happened to Oholah, her sister, she followed right in her footsteps. And she was even more depraved, abandoning herself to her lust and prostitution. 

These things happened because of the Lord’s anger against the people of Jerusalem and Judah, until he finally banished them from his presence and sent them into exile.

Lord God my Father,

Open my eyes to your Truth and keep me under your authority. Keep me in your discernment.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

They refused to keep my decrees and follow my regulations, even though obedience would have given them life. And they also violated my Sabbath days. 

“Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Again and again you remind me of your sin and your guilt. You don’t even try to hide it! In everything you do, your sins are obvious for all to see. So now the time of your punishment has come!

“But now I clap my hands in indignation over your dishonest gain and bloodshed. How strong and courageous will you be in my day of reckoning? I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do what I said. I will scatter you among the nations and purge you of your wickedness. And when I have been dishonored among the nations because of you, you will know that I am the Lord.”

Lord God my Father,

Give me the power to follow you direction and bring you Glory in my obedience. Remove my sinful past from my spirit and deliver me to this moment under your authority alone.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
