Then I would still have this consolation— my joy in unrelenting pain— that I had not denied the words of the Holy One.

“But now be so kind as to look at me. Would I lie to your face? 29Relent, do not be unjust; reconsider, for my integrity is at stake. 30Is there any wickedness on my lips? Can my mouth not discern malice?

“What is mankind that you make so much of them, that you give them so much attention, 18that you examine them every morning and test them every moment?

Though they wished to dispute with him, they could not answer him one time out of a thousand. 4His wisdom is profound, his power is vast. Who has resisted him and come out unscathed?

Lord God my Father,

Protect my thoughts and keep me from questioning your plan, help me to accept all that you are without a desire of my own. Help me to accept your test with your Peace as my strength. I can never understand you, only surrender to your way and experience what you allow me to.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom.

Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”

“Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. 10“Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. 11But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.”

The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.”

Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him, because they saw how great his suffering was.

I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil.”

“We have examined this, and it is true. So hear it and apply it to yourself.”

Lord God my Father,

Give me the heart of Job, cause me to lift my family and bless it, asking for your protection and blessing as well as strength in times of struggle. Satan is always looking for an opportunity to harm me, but my life is in you. Help to gain all my strength from your Truth and allow your Peace to grow from it.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

8So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9That is why it was called Babel

Lord God my Father,

Keep me from advancing myself but allow me to express only glory for you in all my desires. Keep your Peace my most important focus and help me to share it well with others so your Hope overwhelms the struggles of the day.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”

You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”

The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.

Noah did everything just as God commanded him.

Lord God my Father,

I wish to live in such a way that you look with favor on me, show me how to run from my sin nature and rest in your way, help me to do what is right in your eyes. Keep me close so I don’t wander or become restless. Help me to show the wicked, your peace that heals us and help me to do your will at all times.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

“I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”

Lord God my Father,

Restore my emotions to how they were designed, give me your Peace that sets all thoughts right. Remove my rebellious desire so I can be obedient through your peace.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. 

Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to accept your Truth without compromise. Help me to bring the lost to your throne. Help me to accept your way and allow you to reflect through me in all areas and carry your Grace to the world.
In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.

Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.

This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God’s people.

“ ‘Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; 5for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.

Lord God my Father,

Keep me close so the deceiver has no influence on me. Allow your Truth to be the only thing to reach me. Give me courage to stay strong in your desire and share you well. Keep me from falling. Remove all the sinful desires I have become comfortable with.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”

The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. 21Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.

“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,

the One who is and who was,

because you have taken your great power

and have begun to reign.

18The nations were angry,

and your wrath has come.

The time has come for judging the dead,

and for rewarding your servants the prophets

and your people who revere your name,

both great and small—

and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”

Lord God my Father,

Keep me still enough to not wonder from your presence, allow me to hear your desire and act on your desires alone. Give me strength to do your work and represent you well, help me to bring your way to those around me and prepare for your coming.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich!

Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. 

 You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

“ ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.”

The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

Lord God my Father,

in my struggles I am Rich and powerful because of you. Keep fear at bay and give me boldness in my faith. Protect me from the lies of darkness and overwhelm me with your light. Help me to Hear and repent of my way so your way is all I follow. Allow every breath I take to praise you now and forever.

I Jesus name I pray,

Amen

 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.

When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”

But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves.15For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.

Lord God my Father,

Keep my heart in your Peace and protect me from deceit. Help me to reach my children and others to draw them into your Grace. Allow a Peace that I can’t understand to rest on me in all things, help me to trust you completely. Give me the words to say that brings others to you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
