And He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God."
Heavenly Father You are a just judge, and angry with the wicked every day. Father, I pray that You would let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just, for You are a righteous God who tests the hearts and minds. You save the upright in heart and know those who have made You Lord over their lives. Oh, that we should live together in peace. There are six things You hate and the seventh is an abomination to You. Forgive us Lord for our prideful look and lying tongues. Forgive those who devise wicked plans and shed innocent blood. Have mercy Lord, have mercy for many feet run swiftly to do evil and bear false witness speaking lies of others. We arrogantly puff ourselves up as we strive for bigger, better, best and the accolades of the world. But the most grievous offense is to sow discord among the brethren. As Your sons and daughters help us to keep Your words so we may live free. For many Father have had a lifelong companion with folly, but You have promised as long as there is breath there is hope for repentance. I thank You Lord for Your mercies that are new every day. Father, remove the hearts of stones and bless our lost loved ones with a heart of flesh. May we love as You love and cherish the things that You have said are pure, holy and lovely. Jesus is the way the truth and the life may He be found in our hearts always. Father bless Your faithful servants who are far too often overlooked or shunned by the world around them. Remind them great is their reward in heaven for this is not our home. I love You Lord and thank You for the indwelling of Your Holy Spirit to guide me in the large and small challenges of the day-to-day life. May all praise be Yours Jesus, in Your name, Amen.
