Jeremiah 6:16

Thus says the Lord:
“Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls.” But they said, “We will not walk in it.”

Father may our ears be open to the sound of the trumpet! May our hearts receive the sweet sound of Your love. Oh Lord that the nations should hear Your truth proclaimed. Lord Jesus as each of us stand at the different crossroads in our lives may our eyes be open to see, and our mouth ask for Your leading. Your way Lord is good and You do us no harm. Your tender mercies and graciousness are new everyday. How blessed are those who know Your truth and willing walk down the path that is old. I pray Lord for all to find rest for their souls. To be embraced by Your peace and love. Let not a rebellious spirit rise up in me and declare I will go my own way but surrender all that I am and all that I hope to be into Your loving arms. I pray Lord Jesus for those who have gone astray to return and amend their ways and turn from wrong doings. May they not trust in the lying words of the world that makes false claims of the way to a great life. May they not trust in lying words that cannot profit. Father open the eyes of those who think and live for their own pleasures to see when they come to stand before You in Your house they are not properly clothed. Oh Lord, I pray they will turn from their errors and seek Your mercy that washes and makes our filthy rags as white as snow to be made ready for Your return. I love you Lord Jesus, You are my Shepherd, and I shall not want. You make me to lie down in green pastures, that are beside still waters. Oh Lord how You lovingly restore my soul, leading me in Your righteousness for Your name sake. Even though I may walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear for You are with me. Your rod and staff Lord they comfort me. How blessed I am for You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies; fear, doubt, confusion, frustration, anger, grief and the like. How great You are Lord to anoint my head with oil. May I shout from the roof tops my cup runs over. Thank You Lord Jesus for Your goodness and mercy following me all the days of my life. Oh to rest knowing I will one day dwell in Your house for ever. Father I pray for all to be blessed with this truth and may they run and leap into Your loving arms. In the powerful and mighty name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.

Psalm 126:5

Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.
 
Dear Heavenly Father,
I give thanks for all your faithful servants who daily bring prayers and petitions to You on the behalf of others. As I think upon the exorbitant amount of prayer request I have asked my dedicated brothers and sister to carry to You, they lovingly lay at Your merciful feet I am taken by the amount of tears pouring flow forth from their caring eyes. Bless Your precious children who believe and cling to Your promises. May their cups run over with the blessed joy only You can give. Father I am awestruck by those who diligently seek Your loving kindness not for their own benefit but for the good of other. Even for strangers they have never met. Oh Lord hear the prayers of those who cry out day and night for the salvation of souls, healing of wounds and deliverance from bondage. Father pour out Your amazing love and comfort for those who continually go forth weeping, may they rejoice bearing seeds for sowing. May the watchmen not stay awake in vein, but rest in Your loving arms because You are attentive to their every plea. Thank You Lord Jesus for working all things out for our good, never leaving nor forsaking us. Bless O Lord, those who have an upright heart, those with deep knowing we desperately need You. May the mouths of Your sons and daughters be filled with laughter and their tongues go about singing. May we give thanks to You for collecting our tears in jars, placing our prayers in bowls. Father as I reflect on my own tears over the passed several months, I am truly filled with joy as the scriptures promise. Your blessing in which I give thanks, flow so freely upon me, I am awestruck at the wonder. I love You Lord, so may it be with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. In Your beautiful and holy name Jesus, Amen.

Luke 15:20

And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.

Oh, Holy Father, my heart leaps for joy when I think upon this verse. The greatness of Your compassion illustrated in the parable of the lost son, Your immediate acceptance of a sinner who turns to You for forgiveness overwhelms me with hope and joy. May we remember Your loving kindness and never take it for granted. Father, I pray for all the lost children to realize that we bring nothing to and deserve nothing from You, only that we need to rely completely on Your incredible mercy. Lord, I pray for the backsliding bride, may all return to You. Lord may Your grace touch us, and do not cause Your anger to fall upon Your children. As we acknowledge our iniquity, and our transgressions against You forgive us I pray. No more Lord shall we follow the dictates of our evil hearts. Oh, that we may call You Abba, Father and not turn away from Your loving embrace. Lord, I pray to not beautify my ways seeking love from an inferior source, only Your love I shall seek. Create in us Lord a clean heart and renew a steadfast spirit with in us. Bless You Lord Jesus for not casting us away from Your presence and not taking Your Holy Spirit from us. Oh, Father that You would restore to us the joy of Your salvation and uphold us with Your generous Spirit. Lord, use us to teach other transgressors of Your wonderful ways, so sinners will be converted to You. May our tongues sing loudly of Your righteousness. O Lord open our lips and our mouths shall rejoice with praises to You our great King. Thank You Lord that You do not delight in sacrifice, or burnt offerings but in the humble, broken and contrite heart. Bless You Lord that these three things You do not despise. Lord may all Your sweet, precious sons and daughters take time out for selah and listen to Your word, rejoicing in Your goodness. It is by Your grace Lord Jesus, You have saved us not by works so none of us can boast. Bless You, Jesus Messiah. In Your holy name I pray, Amen.

Proverb 8:12

I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge and discretion.
 
Dear Heavenly Father,
Your wisdom is better then rubies, and all things that one may desire cannot compare with her. When I was young Lord I longed to posses items of fine gold, how wrong I was to spend my days toiling for material gain. Oh that I should acquire the good things wisdom gives such as the converting of the soul, making wise simple, a rejoicing heart, and enlightening eyes. Your holy scriptures cannot be compared to anything I've ever desired. Your wisdom Lord is the key to joy and more importantly to eternal life. Cleanse me from my secret faults and keep me back from presumptuous sins. I thank You Lord that Your wisdom causes those who love You to inherit wealth, and You fill the treasuries of our hearts with goodness. Father, those of us who fear You know the truth, fear is to hate that which is evil and admonish what is good. Pride and arrogance are of the evil way alongside a perverse mouth. Counsel us Lord with the soundness of Your wisdom, growing us in strength and understanding. Father by the power of Your Spirit dwelling within Your children keep us from misbehavior, haughtiness, conceit and cantankerous speaking. Lord I pray to abide in Your word and be Your disciple. I like many others who know the truth, am grateful for Your truth that has made us free. Thank You blessed Jesus for setting me free, for who the Son sets free is free indeed! I pray Lord for those who are still caught in the bondage of lies, may today be the day the chains are unlocked, and the shackles around their hearts fall to the ground releasing the captive to receive the joy of salvation. May today Lord be the day for many blind and deaf sinners to know the grace of Your wisdom and taste the goodness of Your mercy. In the mighty and powerful name of Jesus my Lord I pray, Amen.

Proverb 8:2

She takes her stand on the top of the high hill.
Beside the way, where the paths meets.
 
Dear Heavenly Father,
You Lord who sits in the highest heaven, shall laugh. Your laugh shall be scornful to those who attack Your beautiful, perfect and precious Son, Jesus Christ. I pray Father for those who try to fight off Your will in their lives. Your will Lord will always be done. Oh Lord that we should tremble at the thought of You breaking those who do not believe with a rod of iron, dashing them to pieces like a potters vessel. May we serve You Lord with rejoicing, waiting upon Your return. Father only You know the day and hour of Your Sons triumphal return. May our hearts and mind be made ready by keeping Your ways. You have said “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.” Open our ears to the wisdom that sits on top the high hill, crying out, desiring to reach everyone. Your truth Lord is not hidden but is in plain view. Open the eyes those who walk in darkness, following in the path of the devourer. Expose him who is cleverly disguised in many deceptions that entice us away from Your magnificent light. The cunning immoral one cannot be trusted. Only Your pure words of wisdom that offer mercy and grace can lead us in the way that is beneficial. I pray Lord You will open the eyes of those who have fallen into slumber. They see through eyes that are heavy laden that cause a hazed line between what is true and that which is lies. Sharpen their sight to see the stark contrast between the way that lead to life and the way that leads to death. Your wisdom Lord given to us by the power of Your Holy Spirit delivers on her promises. Oh that they should know she is not a tawdry tease, Your wisdom Lord is more valuable than silver or gold. I pray Father to desire nothing more than Your ways that bring blessings that can not be compared or contained. May all glory and honor be Yours Lord for ever and ever. Amen.


Psalm 2:4,9 and Psalm 37:23

Proverb 8:29

When He assigned to the sea its limit,
So the water would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth...

You Lord Jesus are my daily delight. May I rejoice always before You. May I rejoice in the world around me, and delight in my sweet child. May I be blessed Lord in the keeping of Your ways, for they are higher and better than any contrived idea of man. Open my ears to Your instruction so I may be wise not in my own eyes but in Your truth. Just as You have set boundaries on the oceans, to keep them in order and place, so You have set perimeters for me to live by. When the seas rise up and rage forth pushing to have their way, disaster strikes, mayhem ensue and death occurs. Peace is no more. So the same is true in my little life. Keep my Lord from stepping passed the hedge of protection You have set around me to keep me from running wild and out of control, destroying the peace, love and joy You so lovingly placed in my soul by the power of Your Holy Spirit. You Lord are so wise as You have set a narrow path before me. Graciously walking each step with me. Bless You Lord for Your loving kindness of granting me a heart and mind to receive Your wisdom and a desire to stay between the lines. How I love the confines of Your tender embrace that keep me safe from self destruction. Lord Jesus continue to have Your way in and through me all the days You have given. In Your beautiful and Holy name, Amen.
