Clean, Peace

The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth. The Lord has spoken.

God will bring down their pride despite the cleverness of their hands.

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

Lord God my Father,

Make me clean and remove all distractions designed to move my gaze off of you. Stop my mind from questioning your plan and make me obedient without delay. Bring your Peace to overwhelm me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

One with Him.

Lord will strike Egypt with a plague; he will strike them and heal them. They will turn to the Lord, and he will respond to their pleas and heal them.

See what has happened to those we relied on, those we fled to for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?’ ”

The Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.

but you did not look to the One who made it, or have regard for the One who planned it long ago. 12The Lord, the Lord Almighty, called you on that day to weep and to wail, to tear out your hair and put on sackcloth. 13But see, there is joy and revelry,

Lord God my Father,

Humble my arrogance, strengthen my gaze on you. Help me to place you before my thoughts and rely only on you in everything, transform me into your design for me. You made me and you have a plan that is perfect for me, help me to release it completely.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

His plan will be done.

The Lord Almighty is mustering an army for war.

I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins.

“Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will happen.

Lord God my Father,

Your plan is permanent and your army powerful. Help me to allow you to do the battles in my life and trust you completely. Your will is perfect, and it will be done. What you plan will happen. Help me to trust in you completely in all struggles.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Peaceful focus

All this took place because the Israelites had sinned against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of Egypt f

They did wicked things that aroused the Lord’s anger.

Rather, worship the Lord your God; it is he who will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.”

Lord God my Father,

Bring your Peace to my heart and help me be still in your presence. Turn me from my wicked ways and teach me to truly worship you as you desire me to.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

One focus

If a liar and deceiver comes and says, ‘I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,’ that would be just the prophet for this people!

Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money. Yet they look for the Lord’s support and say, “Is not the Lord among us? No disaster will come upon us.” 12Therefore because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, the temple hill a mound overgrown with thickets.

All the nations may walk in the name of their gods, but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.

You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. 19You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.

Lord God my Father,

Give me discernment over the deceivers, keep me focused on you. Protect me from the unjust and keep my path straight. Help me to draw others to you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

One focus

Jotham grew powerful because he walked steadfastly before the Lord his God.

Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense

Lord God my Father,

Give me the focus I need to keep my eyes on you in all situations. You are my strength, protect me from distraction.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Focus

People will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it.

Lord God my Father,

Keep me close to your plan so I don’t wonder off. Protect my thoughts from distraction so I may keep my focus on you in all things.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Bright in the darkness

I brought you up out of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness to give you the land of the Amorites.

You were like a burning stick snatched from the fire, yet you have not returned to me,” declares the Lord.

“Seek me and live;

Lord God my Father,

Bring me close so I can only see your Truth. Protect me from the deceit all around me and make me strong in your Peace. Help me to shine your way and turn the lost back to you before it is too late.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

One path

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send e!” 9He said, “Go and tell this people:

Consult God’s instruction and the testimony of warning. If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn.

Lord God my Father,

Give me discernment over good and evil and strength to follow you only. Let me go with you and share your hope. Help me to speak only your words.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

New

Woe to the sinful nation, a people whose guilt is great, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the Lord; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him.

The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Zion; he will cleanse the bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire.

Lord God my Father,

Cleanse my soul and use me to spark your revival. Open our hearts to your glory and shield us from the evil one.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
