“O God, grant me these two things,
and then I will be able to face you.
21Remove your heavy hand from me,
and don’t terrify me with your awesome presence.
22Now summon me, and I will answer!
Or let me speak to you, and you reply.
23Tell me, what have I done wrong?
Show me my rebellion and my sin.

Lord God,
As Job pleas, so do I.
Show me the errors of my way, expose my rebellion and sin that blocks me from your presence and desire you have for me. May I delight in serving you completely. Take fear and insecurity from me and allow your way for me to rest fully on my heart. Expose your desire for me to follow.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Though I am innocent, my own mouth would pronounce me guilty.
Though I am blameless, it would prove me wicked.

“Be silent now and leave me alone.
Let me speak, and I will face the consequences.
14Why should I put myself in mortal danger
and take my life in my own hands?
15God might kill me, but I have no other hope.
I am going to argue my case with him.

To be in such a relationship with God that I may hear all his counsel in all things and act on them. To release what I think is wisdom and replace it with His truth.

Lord God,
release me from the bindings that restrict me from living completely in your truth. Help me to release what I think is wisdom and rely on your truth to guide my thoughts and way in this world.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Satan answered the lord, “I have been patrolling the earth, watching everything that’s going on.”

Then the lord asked Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? He is the finest man in all the earth. He is blameless—a man of complete integrity. He fears God and stays away from evil.”

In all of this, Job did not sin by blaming God.

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

“Oh, why give light to those in misery,
and life to those who are bitter?

Oh to have the spirit of Job.

Lord God,
Help me to see the truth in the example of Job. Protect me from Satan as he patrols the earth using the goodness we get from you against us. Allow me to take delight in surrendering my will to you each moment of each day.

In Jesus name,
Amen

As the beating of cream yields butter
and striking the nose causes bleeding,
so stirring up anger causes quarrels.

Lord God, Cleanse my spirit, my soul, my heart and my thoughts. Make them new and fresh with your overwhelming peace and love so I may not stir up any anger in this world. May I be a vessel that only carries your light to this dark world.

Fools vent their anger,
but the wise quietly hold it back.

The righteous despise the unjust;
the wicked despise the godly.

Lord God, Help me to not live in the conflict between rite and wrong, guide me to follow you and be free of the stress of my poor decisions. May I delight in following you today.

In Jesus name,
Amen

For God understands all hearts, and he sees you.
He who guards your soul knows you knew.

A little extra sleep, a little more slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest—
34then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;
scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.

Don’t answer the foolish arguments of fools,
or you will become as foolish as they are.
5Be sure to answer the foolish arguments of fools,
or they will become wise in their own estimation.

Lord God,
Help me to only do rite, help me to surrender to your way and be a light of your truth to this world.

In Jesus name,
Amen

A youngster’s heart is filled with foolishness,
but physical discipline will drive it far away.

Lord God, I accept your discipline and ask you to drive my foolishness away, May I accept your guidance.

In Jesus name,
Amen

You can make many plans,
but the lord’s purpose will prevail.

No human wisdom or understanding or plan
can stand against the lord.

Lord God,
Help me to surrender to your purpose for me, Help me to avoid my desire and create conflict in my life. I wish to do your will and live in your light, exposing darkness and revealing your glory to this world.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Those who listen to instruction will prosper;
those who trust the lord will be joyful.

Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent;
with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent.

Lord God,
Grant me the wisdom to not speak, Sharpen my words so few words will accomplish much. Grant me your wisdom and patience. Bring your peace into my heart.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.

A bowl of vegetables with someone you love
is better than steak with someone you hate.

Lord God, may I use your power to fulfill the dreams on my heart that bring you Glory. May I live by your grace released thru me.

In Jesus name,
Amen
