Warnings on Disobedience
(Prayer Walk thro Jeremiah 1-10)
Backgrounder: For centuries,
prophets had come to God’s
people with the ultimatum:
Shape up or God will ship you out
in judgment. But their message
falls on deaf ears & stony hearts.
At last it is time for God to show
His words are no idle threat.
For their idolatry & indifference,
the people will reel in judgment
at the hands of the Babylonians.
Dear Lord, we note your warning
on Disobedience of Yr commands
and Indifference to your values.
Help us to learn from Jeremiah
even as he brings forth Your word.
Help us to Submit to Do Your Will;
Fill us with Your Emotions and
enable us to Know U More. Amen
Lord, we Submit to Do Your Will:
The Lord said to me: “Do not say:
I am only a child.” You must go
to everyone I send you to and
say whatever I commanded you.
Do not be afraid of their faces for
I am with you to deliver you. Then
the Lord reached out his hand &
touched my mouth & said: Now I
put my words in yr mouth (J1:7-9)
Lord, I do not want to make
excuses for not doing Your will.
But I may feel inadequate to do
the things U are calling me to do.
Yet I don’t want fear to keep me
from doing it. I want to depend
on You to do it through me.
So I pray You will put words in
my mouth so that I can intercede
by the power of Your Spirit. Amen
Lord, Fill us with Your Emotions:
To whom shall I speak and give
warning that they may hear?
Indeed their ear is uncircumcised
and they cannot give heed.
Behold the word of the Lord is
a reproach to them; they have
no delight in it. Therefore I am full
of the fury of the Lord (J6:10-11).
Lord, fill me with Your feelings,
regardless of what they are.
Help me love what You love,
rejoice over Your joys and be
angry at whatever angers You.
Shape my heart & let my prayers
and actions flow from what
You have put within me. Amen.
Lord, we will Know You More:
This is what the Lord says:
Let not the wise man boast of
his wisdom… or the rich man
boast of his riches, but let him
who boasts boast about this: that
he knows the Lord, who exercises
kindness, justice & righteousness
for in these I delight (J9:23-24).
Lord, I confess any pride I have
over anything in my life for I know
all the good things have come
from You. Help me to never even
appear to boast about anything
other than the fact that I know U.
And the reason I’ve the potential
to do something good is because
the Holy Spirit dwells in me.Amen
Dear Lord, Help us to learn from Jeremiah even as he brings forth Your message of repentance.
Help us to Submit to Do Your Will;
Fill us with Your Emotions, and
Enable us to Know You More.
Grant us grace to offer ourselves
to be your messenger of grace.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
