I will do this to recapture the hearts of the people of Israel, who have all deserted me for their idols.’
Lord God my Father,
I need you to show me where I have compromised my design you made me for. I need to separate my sinful desires from my thoughts and restore my focus completely on you. Expose my weakness so I may own it and have it taken. Allow your quiet Peace to be my only desire.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
“Alas, Sovereign Lord! Are you going to destroy the entire remnant of Israel in this outpouring of your wrath on Jerusalem?”
“The sin of the people of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great; the land is full of bloodshed and the city is full of injustice.
Then the Spirit of the Lord came on me, and he told me to say: “This is what the Lord says:
“Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: None of my words will be delayed any longer; whatever I say will be fulfilled, declares the Sovereign Lord.’ ”
Lord God my Father,
We are a sinful nation and deserve your wrath. Lord God, I cry out to you, give us wisdom on how best to carry your will into this day. May your Truth become a confidence and give us courage to speak your words. Keep my judgmental attitude away from my lips so only your Truth is spoken in your Love. Thank you for the struggles of the day, show me how to take strength and wisdom from them without dumping my emotional judgement on them. May your foundation stay under my feet today.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.
And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or be terrified by them, though they are a rebellious people. 7You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.
Then the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet. He spoke to me and said:
Lord God my Father,
You are the answer to all my struggles, help me to trust and not question you. Lift me out of my comfort and into your desire for me. Give me strength to stand in the darkness without fear or faintness. Show your light and open the hearts of the stubborn so they may grow to know you. Allow your wisdom to overwhelm my thoughts so your message is heard.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
“The Lord is righteous, yet I rebelled against his command.
“See, Lord, how distressed I am! I am in torment within, and in my heart I am disturbed, for I have been most rebellious.
In the day of the Lord’s anger no one escaped or survived; those I cared for and reared my enemy has destroyed.”
Lord God my Father,
You are all things good, help me to only hear you in the shouts of darkness. I am broken and stressed without you and act out in the most disturbing ways. Destroy the enemy within and around me and restore me to your blessings.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
It is time for the Lord’s vengeance; he will repay her what she deserves. 7Babylon was a gold cup in the Lord’s hand; she made the whole earth drunk.
For the Lord is a God of retribution; he will repay in full. 57I will make her officials and wise men drunk, her governors, officers and warriors as well; they will sleep forever and not awake,” declares the King, whose name is the Lord Almighty.
Lord God my Father,
You are in charge of all and your will happens for your good. Help me to not try to understand what you are up to but help me to be still and just know you and allow your way to bring me comfort and confidence. Tell me when to take action and how and when to rest and gain your peaceful strength so I respond well to today’s struggles.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
At the sound of Babylon’s capture the earth will tremble;
its cry will resound among the nations.
Lord God my Father,
Restore this land to your ways and soften the grip of the evil one. Allow your design to bring unity and remove authority that evil has clamed.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
Do not be afraid, Jacob my servant, for I am with you,” declares the Lord. “Though I completely destroy all the nations among which I scatter you, I will not completely destroy you. I will discipline you but only in due measure; I will not let you go entirely unpunished.”
On all the roofs in Moab and in the public squares there is nothing but mourning, for I have broken Moab like a jar that no one wants,” declares the Lord.
Lord God my Father,
Keep fear at bay for me and give me the confidence to carry your will as you desire. Discipline me as you see fit and shape me into your design and away from my worldly desires. I deserve your wrath and am willing to suffer it for it gives me the strength and wisdom I need to get unstuck in my ways. Break me so I may be restored to your design.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
Whether it is favorable or unfavorable, we will obey the Lord our God, to whom we are sending you, so that it will go well with us, for we will obey the Lord our God.”
Do not be afraid of him, declares the Lord, for I am with you and will save you and deliver you from his hands.
that you made a fatal mistake when you sent me to the Lord your God and said, ‘Pray to the Lord our God for us; tell us everything he says and we will do it.’ 21I have told you today, but you still have not obeyed the Lord your God in all he sent me to tell you.
So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers and all the people disobeyed the Lord’s command to stay in the land of Judah.
So they entered Egypt in disobedience to the Lord and went as far as Tahpanhes.
You saw the great disaster I brought on Jerusalem and on all the towns of Judah. Today they lie deserted and in ruins 3because of the evil they have done.
When the Lord could no longer endure your wicked actions and the detestable things you did, your land became a curse and a desolate waste without inhabitants, as it is today.
‘I swear by my great name,’ says the Lord, ‘that no one from Judah living anywhere in Egypt will ever again invoke my name or swear, “As surely as the Sovereign Lord lives.” 27For I am watching over them for harm, not for good; the Jews in Egypt will perish by sword and famine until they are all destroyed.
Lord God my Father,
Keep me from breaking promises I make to you, protect my thoughts and keep me humble. Give me your strength and focus to do your will without fear. I want to obey you completely but struggle with my sin nature which makes me disobedient. Help me to give you access to my inner struggles so they may be removed.
In Jesus name i pray,
Amen
You crushed the leader of the land of wickedness, you stripped him from head to foot. 14With his own spear you pierced his head when his warriors stormed out to scatter us,
Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity to come on the nation invading us.
yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
19The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights.
Lord God my Father,
You are in charge and your will is set. I struggle to wait patiently for your deliverance from the ciaos, struggling to allow your Peace to overwhelm my desire to think. I see you working today and look forward to the restoration before us. Help me to Love louder than the hate and carry your Peace in such a way that it is noticed. Thank you for loving me in my current sinful nature and showing me a way out of it. May all judgment be yours and not mine, I am not righteous enough to judge. Oh how I look forward to your Light being accepted as the only light that heals our differences.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
The land enjoyed its sabbath rests; all the time of its desolation it rested, until the seventy years were completed in fulfillment of the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah.
Lord God my Father,
I repent of my sinful nature and I pray to have your Power and Peace rest on me so I may be restored to your origional design. Allow me to rest in your presence so I may find your path and keep me from distraction as I follow it.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
