Praying thro Numbers 1-8 (Apr 6)

Preparation For Life Journey

At Mount Sinai, Israelites received
specific directions for their life-
style in the new land God would
give to them. A census was taken &
the 2nd Passover was celebrated,
marking one year of freedom
from slavery in Egypt. The people
were now prepared to continue
their journey to the Promised Land.

Lord, just as You prepared the
Israelites, You also prepare us for
our life journey toward Your plan.
Lord, help us follow instructions
to Prepare and Take Inventory.
Help us Do the Right Thing; and
Thanks for Your Blessings. Amen

Lord,we’ll Prepare & Take Inventory:
A year after Israel’s departure from
Egypt, the Lord spoke to Moses
in the Tabernacle in the wilderness:
Take a census of all the children of
Israel by their families; every male
from 20 years old and above –
all who are able to go to war in
Israel. You and Aaron shall number
them by their armies. (Num 1:1-3)
At transition points in life, it is
important to take inventory of our
resources for better organisation.
While You God do not want us
to trust in our material resources,
believe that You do want us to use
well what we have, then use what
U have given for Your glory. Amen.

Lord, we will Do the Right Thing:
When a man or women wrongs
another in any way and so is
unfaithful to the Lord, that person
is guilty and must confess the sin
he had committed. He must make
full restitution for his wrong, add
one fifth to it and give it all to the
person he has wronged (N5:6-7).
Holy Spirit, I pray U will show me
if I have hurt anyone in any way.
If I have, show me how I can
make it up to them so that things
are right between us. Help me
to apologise and to ask for that
person’s forgiveness. I want to
have a clear conscience so that
nothing will undermine the
closeness I have with You. Amen.

Lord, thank You for Your blessing:
The Lord said to Moses: Tell Aaron
and his sons to bless the people
of Israel with this special blessing:
May the Lord bless you and
protect you. May the Lord smile
on you and be gracious to you.
May the Lord show u His favour &
give you His peace (Num 6:22-26)
Lord, what a good God You are
to bless us, protect us, smile on us,
extend grace to us, show us Your
favour and give us Your peace.
Lord, may my tongue be an
instrument of Your shalom.
May I impart Your goodness to
others through my words, and
may Your Spirit inhabit those
words in mighty power. Amen.
