Jeremiah 15:19-21Please pray with me:
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.
20 And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the Lord. 21 And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
Heavenly Father,
God of Heaven, gracious, glorious and ever-faithful. You have embedded purpose in each day that includes all those who call You Abba through the Name of Jesus Christ. You are the God who transforms our thinking and make us givers. You give us all that we have.
Transform our lives to be life-speakers. Fill us with kindness, transform us, strip us of ourselves. Give us a thick skin —that offense falls quickly to the ground before it can mature.
Jesus, who bore my sin, my sin —be my cover. Give me eyes to see deeply .You looked deeply into me and found the value that You planted therein. You dusted it, cleaned it, restored it, that something in me would fellowship with You and serve You. You are my joy. I come.
Make me a life-listener, hearer and speaker. Take my heart and give me eyes to see deeply. You are life. Speak life through me. You are hope. Speak hope through me. You are help. Help me to help.
I can do none of this on my own, please shine through me. Live in me; cleanse me of me and use me for Your purpose.
You are my safety and in You I rejoice. To You I look for every need.
If You are with the United States, we will prevail. I look to You alone for help. For You will deliver us from wickedness and redeem us from the grip of the terrible.
Jeremiah 16:5
Father, is this nation too far gone? Have You taken away Your lovingkindness and mercy from this land? Is there no hope?
Jeremiah 16:11
We have walked afer other gods and served them, and worshipped them. We have followed after the dictates of our own hearts.
We have done worse —each generation in forsaking the laws which You gave us —that we might prosper. Indeed, we have made our prosperity to be our own, forsaking You. Have mercy.
Jeremiah 16:12
We follow the dictates of our own heart _ filled with evil and we choose not to listen to You. Have mercy.
How can You look at us? We have denied Your prosperity. We do not deserve Your goodness. We are at Your mercy and we are so blinded by our pride that we do not even know it.
Jeremiah 16:17
You O Lord God see all our iniquity, You see our very evil thoughts. Nothing is hidden from You.
If you repay double fro our sin, will any of us stand?
We have defiled the land and we have filled every corner with our idols. Our consumption is so thick that idols lay in heaps around us. Indeed we have so many idols that we send our consumption to the trash heap. And we do not repent.
Truly, our eyes and our hearts are set to defy You.
Rebellion is rampant and even our leaders, past and present, join in the frolic and celebrate folly.
We rebel against Your chosen. We will not listen. Rebellion has set deeply within us as we seek to feed our endless lusts. Truly our gaze is fixed on evil.
We have chosen that which is detestable, and indulge in every abomination. O Father, we are intentional in choosing those idols which destroy Your inheritance. We strive to protect our desires to hurt You, mock You, and tempt Your hand.
Truly, we are a detestable people. Have mercy.
Oh Lord, my strength and fortress. My refuge in the day of affliction. Surely our fathers have inherited lies. Worthless and unprofitable things. We have turned from You and made gods for ourselves —gods that are false gods.
Cause us to know Your hand and Your might. Cause to Know that Your Name is the LORD.
May we repent with a contrite heart and humble ourselves before You, that we may again be pleasing in Your sight.
Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.
In Jesus’ Name.
