Connecting with God’s Word
“So I lay prostrate before the Lord for these forty days and forty nights, because the Lord had said he would destroy you. I prayed to the Lord and said, O Lord God, do not destroy your people and your heritage, whom you have redeemed through your greatness, whom you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand. Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Do not regard the stubbornness of this people, or their wickedness or their sin, lest the land from which you brought us say, ‘Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land that he promised them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness.’ For they are your people and your heritage, whom you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.” – Deuteronomy 9:25-29
Adoration
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of adoration for Your unmatched greatness and infinite mercy. “O Lord God, do not destroy your people and your heritage, whom you have redeemed through your greatness, whom you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.” We praise You for Your mighty hand that delivers and redeems. We honor You for Your steadfast love and faithfulness, remembering how You brought Your people out of Egypt with power and grace. You are our Redeemer and Mighty Savior, worthy of all praise and glory. Amen.
Confession
O Lord, we humble ourselves before You, acknowledging our sinfulness and the times we have been stubborn and rebellious. We confess that we, like the Israelites, have often turned away from Your commandments and have not trusted in Your promises. Forgive us, Lord, for our wickedness and sin. “Do not regard the stubbornness of this people, or their wickedness or their sin.” Cleanse our hearts and renew a right spirit within us, that we may walk in obedience and faithfulness to You. Amen.
Thanksgiving
Gracious God, we thank You for Your enduring mercy and for remembering Your covenant with Your people. “Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” We are grateful for Your faithfulness to Your promises, as You did not abandon the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We thank You for redeeming us and making us Your heritage, chosen and beloved by You. We are eternally grateful for Your mighty power and outstretched arm that continues to deliver us from bondage and lead us into Your promised inheritance. Amen.
