Proverbs 16:17

When a man's ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Although Father our hearts may plan our ways You Lord direct our steps. Heavenly Father may the posture of our lives be so steadfastly fix on You that when our enemies see they will be at peace with us. May the fear of the Lord be upon those who make war and a humbling occur in their souls to bring about Your transformational power from Your Holy Spirit. Teach us oh Lord in this hour how to be your followers who worship in spirit and truth. Remind Your children when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is a noise of war in the camp." They had made a golden calf and were dancing and worshiping around it, much like what it's happening now within the walls of the church, our ways are not pleasing to You. Forgive us for our worship is tainted and stained and we fear not, nor reverence You our great God and King. We scrimp here and cheat You there with blindness we think you don't see, but You are holy Lord and cannot inhabit that which is profaned. Help us be wise and heed Your instruction Jesus when You admonished Your disciples "if anyone one says to you, look here is the Christ! or look, there he is! do not believe it." May we not follow those who have creeped in falsely prophesying and performing lying signs and wonders, who tickle our ears and rob us of sincere intimacy with You. Father, please anoint our ears with oil to hear and listen to the still small voice that instructs this is the way walk in it so all will go well with us. May we be a well-fortified city on the hill shining bright for Your glory. In Your matchless name Jesus, I give thanks and pray, Amen.
