Lord God, Creator of the heavens and the earth, we thank You for being our El-Shaddai – Almighty, Omnipotent, and All-Sufficient God. We thank You that when You ask us to live blamelessly before You, You do it in full awareness of our weaknesses, our impotence, and our insufficiency. With all our hearts, we believe that You are enough for our every circumstance. (more…)
Father God, we ask for Your forgiveness for every decision we have made while thinking from our earthly perspective rather than coming to You for a heavenly perspective first. Teach us that there is no situation in our lives that is so urgent that we cannot stop for two minutes to seek Your wisdom in our daily lives. Regardless of what we think, remind us that Your heavenly arrangement for the institution of one man and one woman in marriage is always the best plan. (more…)
Father God, we thank You that we can trust You to be who You say You are and do what You said You would do. Thank You for revealing to us that obedience to Your will and Your way brings us to places of victory in our lives. These places of victory are places where You reveal Yourself and Your glory so that we can get to know You better and walk in closer relationship with You. (more…)
Father God, we thank You for making it so clear to us that when we intentionally choose to live close to sin to prosper our own plans and purposes, we take a risk. Help us to see that Your plans and Your purposes are perfect and that there is no good prosperity, unless it comes from Your hands and from being allied with You. (more…)
Holy Spirit, as we pray through this chapter, open our eyes to see and our ears to hear two very distinct ways of life that You are carefully laying out before us. In the separation of Abraham and Lot, help us to see the separation of people who choose to live their lives in a covenantal relationship with You and those who don’t. (more…)
Father God, we pray that You would develop in us the sensitivity to hear Your voice. Call us out of our places of comfort by the power of the Holy Spirit. We know that You don’t always reveal the entire itinerary of where You are leading us. Help us to have the confidence to move even when we don’t always know where we are following You. (more…)
Lord God, Creator of the heavens and the earth, we thank You that You are true to Your word. You never do anything unless You reveal it to Your servants the prophets. We pray that You would raise up in our days a generation of Noahs who will not be disgraced because You help them accomplish Your commands. Help them to set their face like flint to do Your will knowing that they will not be put to shame because the One who vindicates is near. (more…)
Father God, I pray that in all our seeking, we would most earnestly seek Your will in choosing our spouses. Protect us from being taken forcefully by anyone against our will and Yours. May the men and women who inhabit, surround, and govern our lives be people who are renowned for doing good and not evil. (more…)
