Prayer as Thanksgiving (Feb 11)
Moses urges obeying God’s laws
which bring blessings and warns
disobedience bringing misfortune.
The 10 Commandments and all of
God’s laws point out to us where
we fall short and show us How
we should Live as God’s people.
To ensure orderly mgt of God’s
holy people in the Holy Land,
God provides societal regulations
and Genesis 25 & 26 focuses
on holiness in human relations.
Lord, we thank You for Your Grace:
The Egyptians mistreated us,
afflicted us and laid hard bondage
in us. Then we cried out to Lord
God… and the Lord heard our voice
and looked on our affliction…
So the Lord brought us out of
Egypt with a mighty hand…
So you shall rejoice in every good
thing which the Lord your God
has given to you (Deut 26:6-11).
I have obeyed the voice of the Lord
my God and have done according
to all that You have commanded me.
Look down from… heaven
and bless Your people (v14-15).
You have declared… the Lord is
your God. And you have promised
to walk in His ways, and to obey
His commands… Also the Lord has
proclaimed you to be His special
people, just as He promised you,
that You should keep all His
commandments (Deut 26:17-18).
Father, thank You for Moses’
Second Address which gives us
the principles for godly living.
Help us Not operate out of fear
but remember Your mighty acts.
Help us to be always thankful
for all that You have done for us.
Help us not be rebellious but
instead Obey Your Commands.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord, we have transgressed Your
commandments & forgotten them,
and have not obeyed your voice.
I pray that You will forgive us our
many sins, and bring about a fresh
spiritual awakening among us that
we may once again be careful to
walk in your ways, and keep your
commandments and obey Your voice
with all our heart and all our soul.
Lord, thanks for lavishing Your love
& bringing me out of slavery to sin.
I declare You are the Lord my God;
& I’ll have no other gods before U.
Help me obey Your commands
relating to most frustrating areas
of brokenness and shortcomings.
I ask for enough love, obedience,
reverence and faithfulness to fulfill
Your ideal mission for me. Amen.
