Jesus knew their thoughts and replied, “Any kingdom divided by civil war is doomed. A town or family splintered by feuding will fall apart.

Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother!”

Lord God my Father,
Know my thoughts and protect them, unite my family as you unite my spirit and actions. Bring unity to my marriage and family, encourage us to support each other not fight to have our own way. Help us to produce your fruit that can only be good. May we do your will and follow the path you intend for us. Use me as your guide.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Because you believed, it has happened.

Lord God,
I believe but I struggle to believe. Bring peace to my spirit that I truly believe you are in control.

In Jesus name,
Amen

“Look at my Servant, whom I have chosen.
He is my Beloved, who pleases me.
I will put my Spirit upon him,
and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
19He will not fight or shout
or raise his voice in public.
20He will not crush the weakest reed
or put out a flickering candle.
Finally he will cause justice to be victorious.
21And his name will be the hope
of all the world.”

But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house right on the ground, without a foundation.

Lord God,
Remove my hardened heart and place me in your peace and control. Unite my spirit with my body and may I obey you in all things.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Therefore, my judgment is just, because I carry out the will of the one who sent me, not my own will.

Lord God,
May I only carry out your will this day.
In Jesus name,
Amen

‘You must worship the Lord your God
and serve only him.’

Lord God,
Reveal and give me the power to remove all the false gods from my life, I want to only worship you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

“The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath. 28So the Son of Man is Lord, even over the Sabbath!”

Why do I resist doing things the Lord’s way, it is for my own good.

Lord God,
May I become obedient to your desire over my own desire to control you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

“Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”
5But his mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

“My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work.

Lord God,
I am broken and weak, I take my eyes off of you when this world stresses me, Lord God, restore my faith to trust you in all things and to do your will. Your signs are everywhere yet I am distracted with my doubts. May I do your will in all things and surrender to your control above my own.

In Jesus name,
Amen

“Glory to God in highest heaven,
and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”

Lord God,
It is to you we need to give glory, not ourselves. May I worship you this day and be your Glory to this place.

In Jesus name,
Amen

You led our ancestors by a pillar of cloud during the day and a pillar of fire at night so that they could find their way.

Yet whenever your people turned and cried to you again for help, you listened once more from heaven. In your wonderful mercy, you rescued them many times!

Lord God,
I wish to allow you to lead me only I don’t know how to submit to your leadership. Lord God, forgive my arrogance and may I humble myself in your presence to follow you only. Forgive my sin and the sin of this world and lead us to your glory. Lord God, turn my heart to only you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

I replied, “There is no truth in any part of your story. You are making up the whole thing.”
9They were just trying to intimidate us, imagining that they could discourage us and stop the work. So I continued the work with even greater determination.
the wall was finished—just fifty-two days after we had begun. 16When our enemies and the surrounding nations heard about it, they were frightened and humiliated. They realized this work had been done with the help of our God.

Lord God,
I pray for your truth to once again be embraced and this nation to become united under your authority. Start with me, remove my sinful nature and allow you peace to rest on me. Use me to reach the lost in my realm of influence.

In Jesus name,
Amen
