Yahweh, you knew. I know you knew. But you knew and even though I was nervous, we started and you took control. You guided every step of that meeting and sent(?), not sent before, you were always there. But you ensured that we all felt your presence. Thank you for being our midst. Thank you for sharing in our joys and our pains. Thank you for being our father and not just our father, but calling us your daughters. We know that it is all too easy for an earthly father to deny his children but you never do. You never do even when we walk away. You’re disappointed, but you still call us children. Thank you Yahweh for your remarkable, amazing love for us. Keep us your way in your will. Fill us so that your glory is seen. Thank you for hearing our prayers and I have to be honest, I will be dancing at the answer of every one of them because I know what you have said and I’m going to hold on to you. Your words. And confession: I’m preparing myself for the faint – not that I will be shocked that you answer, but I know the answer will be in such a way that there would be no mistaking it for human movement but it will be known, seen, proclaimed that this was you. Without a doubt, unmistakably you.
Thank you for who you are. Thank you for your word. Thank you for the Risen King who was not ashamed to bear our sins so we are not ashamed to bear your words. To carry your name and to share with others.
Bless this ministry. Touch each of them individually and their household. Restore the walls that have been broken. Keep them Father. Thank you for your words in your life – and our lives are truly yours.
Yahweh, I lift up “the men” before you. The priests and priests to be. Though I should probably stop saying “to be” because you have proclaimed it so and are putting things in place in the physical for every plan that you have. Thank you for the manifestation of your word. Touch “the men” turn their hearts to you. To make you the base on which they build everything on. To have you as the cover that protects them. Help them to trust you where they can’t see you but that they would know that you are there and that you are King. Wrap them in your arms. Thank you Yahweh. You are the only living, risen King. The only one worthy of praise.
Warning!
Jeremiah 4:27 –  This is what the Lord says: The whole earth will be ruined, although I will not destroy it completely.
Yahweh sounds his warning of what he will do if we don’t turn to him. But even in his anger he is also offering mercy. He is still pleading for us to stop acting like a prostitute (acting like? Or being a?). He will destroy cities and everything in and around it. Until we are no longer ashamed to declare your glory – Yahweh you are king above all and your word is bond.
I prefer those who are choosing to remain with you even on the persecution. Those who remain faithful even when all others deny you and seek the wood, stone, glass, metal and ether as their god. Help us to honour you and declare your name.
Remember us (and I know you don’t forget – it’s not that type of remember). Your breeze that separates the husk from the grain – use it Yahweh to separate what is not of you from our hearts, so that we can stand before you, not in pride of accomplishment but with the heart of humility giving you the glory for how you saved us.
Thank you for your promises given in your warning. Thank you for always making a way of escape. Thank you for being our father. I love you.
