Blindly follow

Do not add to or subtract from these commands I am giving you. Just obey the commands of the lord your God that I am giving you.

But from there you will search again for the lord your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him.

Lord God,
May I follow your commands without hesitation or doubt, May I search for your will in all I do.

In Jesus name,
Amen

To loosen the strongholds within

Lord God,
You have given me this temple to care for and I need your help. Lord God, Give me power to destroy the sinful nature within and destroy the strongholds that live within. Help me to be ruthless in the destruction of the idols and habits that separate me from your glory and block your ability to work thru me. Allow me to be your servant and to serve you completely.

I am a sheep, lost in this life with no path or power. Lord God, remove my stubborn heart that will not release my desire to control and the fear within. Allow me to blindly follow you, to hear your voice and recognize your face. To follow you without doubt.

God brought them out of Egypt;
for them he is as strong as a wild ox.
He devours all the nations that oppose him,

I need to only speak the words you place on my heart and live by your guidance. Lord God, deliver me from the bondage I am feeling in this world and place a path before me that releases your glory in my life.

Make our efforts successful!

Do not rebel against the lord, and don’t be afraid of the people of the land. They are only helpless prey to us! They have no protection, but the lord is with us! Don’t be afraid of them!”

“I will pardon them as you have requested.

Then you will discover what it is like to have me for an enemy.’ 35I, the lord, have spoken!

The lord will abandon you because you have abandoned the lord.”

Let us, your servants, see you work again;
let our children see your glory.
17And may the Lord our God show us his approval
and make our efforts successful.
Yes, make our efforts successful!

To do the Lords will with passion

Whenever the cloud lifted from over the sacred tent, the people of Israel would break camp and follow it. And wherever the cloud settled, the people of Israel would set up camp.

But day or night, when the cloud lifted, the people broke camp and moved on.

“Arise, O lord, and let your enemies be scattered! Let them flee before you!” 36And when the Ark was set down, he would say, “Return, O lord, to the countless thousands of Israel!”

Lord God, May I be obedient to you, May I do what I know you wish me to do and not resist your directions in my life. May I rise when you say rise and sleep when you say sleep and care for your kingdom as you wish.

In Jesus name,
Amen

It is not for me to question Him.

Anyone other than a priest or Levite who went too near the sanctuary was to be put to death.

The Kohathites must never enter the sanctuary to look at the sacred objects for even a moment, or they will die.”

Lord God my father,
Place on my heart a desire to follow you without compromise, Lord take my desire to modify your desire for me and change me to not question your direction for me. Remove my desire to be in control and help me to blindly follow you.
In Jesus name,
Amen
