They will come weeping
and seeking the lord their God.
And why? Because the whole land is filled with idols,
and the people are madly in love with them.
Lord God,
Open my eyes so I may see all the idols in my life I put before you. I am broken and tired of this struggle and choose to surrender to you all my sin. Take it from me and allow me to be full of your power and trust in you in all things. I wish to only serve you.
In Jesus holey name,
Amen
I will discipline you, but with justice;
I cannot let you go unpunished.”
Moab will no longer be a nation,
for it has boasted against the lord.
Lord God,
I welcome your discipline, I pray I am willing to allow your punishment to cleanse me of my compromised spirit. Lord God help me to only boast of your glory and my please you in all I do.
In Jesus name,
Amen
Whether we like it or not, we will obey the lord our God to whom we are sending you with our plea. For if we obey him, everything will turn out well for us.”
For I am sorry about all the punishment I have had to bring upon you.
For you were not being honest when you sent me to pray to the lord your God for you. You said, ‘Just tell us what the lord our God says, and we will do it!’ 21And today I have told you exactly what he said, but you will not obey the lord your God any better now than you have in the past.
We will not listen to your messages from the lord! 17We will do whatever we want. We will burn incense and pour out liquid offerings to the Queen of Heaven just as much as we like—
What a ungrateful nature we have. God only wants the best for us and we turn our back on him breaking his heart. Why are we so stubborn? Why is it so much easier to follow satan’s distractions than God.
Lord God,
Protect me from my weakness in this world and deliver me from all temptations I face. Give me your power over this place and may I excel in pleasing you.
In Jesus name,
Amen
Perhaps the people of Judah will repent when they hear again all the terrible things I have planned for them. Then I will be able to forgive their sins and wrongdoings.”
He wrote everything that had been on the scroll King Jehoiakim had burned in the fire. Only this time he added much more!
Lord God
help me to write all my past hurts down, make a list, so I may be able to completely own them and bring them to your alter so you may forgive and destroy them. Removing the power they have to separate me from you in my current walk. You desperately want to bless me, may I not block your will for me.
In Jesus name,
Amen
You are the great and powerful God, the lord of Heaven’s Armies. 19You have all wisdom and do great and mighty miracles. You see the conduct of all people, and you give them what they deserve.
O Sovereign lord, you have told me to buy the field—paying good money for it before these witnesses—even though the city will soon be handed over to the Babylonians.”
I will put a desire in their hearts to worship me, and they will never leave me. 41I will find joy doing good for them
I have a lifetime of decisions to look back on to see who I am when surrounded my this world. My past is proof without constand attention to what God desires of me, I am not good.
Lord God,
You posses all the wisdom and are behind all great things. May I submit to being your servant and do only what you direct me to do. Open my heart, release my desires and replace them with your will. May I worship you in all I do and find Joy in serving you.
In Jesus name,
Amen
In all history there has never been such a time of terror.
It will be a time of trouble for my people Israel.
Yet in the end they will be saved!
I will discipline you, but with justice;
I cannot let you go unpunished.”
I turned away from God,
but then I was sorry.
I kicked myself for my stupidity!
I was thoroughly ashamed of all I did in my younger days.’
I must learn from the past, not relive it. When I was young I rebelled against His way, Now I am full of regrets.
As I confess my sins and ask forgiveness, He takes them from me and forgives me and forgets them. I accept the discipline He puts on me and delight in being set free from my stupidity.
Lord God,
You are the perfect parent, I ran from your desire in my youth, Now I run to you full of regrets. Help me to be aware of what I have not ask forgiveness for and to bring it to you so I can be free from my past and live a delightful life with you from now to forever. Use me today to spread your glory to this dark place, being a beacon of hope to the lost.
In Jesus name,
Amen
With my great strength and powerful arm I made the earth and all its people and every animal. I can give these things of mine to anyone I choose
Lord God,
May I find favor in you, May I speak for you, may I work for you. Please remove any defects in my character, Use me as a tool for your work,
In Jesus name,
Amen
The people burn incense to foreign gods—idols never before acknowledged by this generation, by their ancestors, or by the kings
‘Why did the lord destroy such a great city?’ 9And the answer will be, ‘Because they violated their covenant with the lord their God by worshiping other gods.’”
Lord God, Help me to only follow you, expose the idols in my life. Give me power over them and destroy them so I may become a Godly person doing your will.
In Jesus name,
Amen
The prophets and priests continue with their work,
but they don’t know what they’re doing.”
We hoped for a time of healing, but found only terror.
20lord, we confess our wickedness
and that of our ancestors, too.
We all have sinned against you.
21For the sake of your reputation, lord, do not abandon us.
Then the lord said to me, “Even if Moses and Samuel stood before me pleading for these people, I wouldn’t help them. Away with them! Get them out of my sight!
I am tired of always giving you another chance.
I am hated everywhere I go.
I am neither a lender who threatens to foreclose
nor a borrower who refuses to pay—
yet they all curse me.”
11The lord replied,
“I will take care of you, Jeremiah.
“If you return to me, I will restore you
so you can continue to serve me.
If you speak good words rather than worthless ones,
you will be my spokesman.
You must influence them;
do not let them influence you!
19lord, you are my strength and fortress,
my refuge in the day of trouble!
Nations from around the world
will come to you and say,
“Our ancestors left us a foolish heritage,
for they worshiped worthless idols.
20Can people make their own gods?
These are not real gods at all!”
21The lord says,
“Now I will show them my power;
now I will show them my might.
At last they will know and understand
that I am the lord.
Why are the wicked so prosperous?
Why are evil people so happy?
2You have planted them,
and they have taken root and prospered.
My people have planted wheat
but are harvesting thorns.
They have worn themselves out,
but it has done them no good.
Lord God, wicked is so close, it is everywhere. Good is a lack of wicked, help me remove all wicked thoughts, actions, habits. Restore me to a pureness by replacing my ways with yours. May I delight in serving you today.
In Jesus name,
Amen
