God of excellent majesty

Today I pray and worship God who created all and despite the fall holds all together and offers redemption.

Strengthen Your Church and give them a hunger to know You through the Bible. Guide Your Church away from the arrogance of thinking we can define You and help Your Church seek to discover You through prayer guided by the authority of the Bible.

Help Your body reach out to help their suffering brothers and sisters around the globe through prayer and sacrificial giving.

Hear the screams and cries coming from those who are victims and those hurt them. I do not pray for destruction for those who hurt others who are already destroying themselves. In Jesus name.

Daniel 2:37 “You, O king, are a king of kings. For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory;

Define the four things God gave them.

kingdom

power

strength

glory

God anoints the kings

God is their power

God is their strength

God is their glory

Prayer for today

Today I thank You for the blessings You have so graciously provided for my family. Creation worships You as the stars singing and the whales singing and the birds singing join together with all of Creation in worship and praise.

May those who scream and cry out see Your glory and power and know You are with them and will see them through. Lord, give them Your hope to overcome despair so they can realize they are not alone and their life and even the horror they are going through has meaning.

I pray for those who out of greed push even legal drugs and destroy lives, families and communities. I pray for those who are addicted and slowly lose their humanity and go from a drug user to become the drug where they exist only for the drug.

Like Your Church from the beginning, we struggle with many heresies which sap our strength and confuse those who need You. Those who seek can become confused by the heresies which confuse Christians.

Let all see the glory of God

Prayer for today

Today I pray for Numbers. Reading in the book of Numbers there are so many calculations and commands which direct worship, direction and community. They would move only when directed and how they were directed. Each tribe gave the same despite their difference in size. Many times we are told God spoke to Moses or God commanded Moses.

We seek freedom in worship. It is so easy to desire worship which pleases us often without thinking if it is pleasing to God. We divide over worship. Help Your people come together in worship that pleases You.

The screaming still surrounds and sounds like a symphonic dirge. I know You hear their cries and count their tears. Can we count Your tears? We cannot understand the depth of Your pain because it would kill us. For a mere second I felt a small part of Your pain and it was a crushing load I still look back on. At times I can hear the screams and even the more horrific cries of defiance.

I praise You, God:

When the screams are hard to hear

When cries of defiance crush my soul

When my heart is heavy and crushed

When I hurt in my body and my soul

June 28

Ezekiel 43:2 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.

Why is God called the God of Israel?

What does came from the way of the east mean?

What does His voice was like the sound of many waters mean?

What does the earth shone with His glory mean?

The God of Creation

The God of Israel

The God glorious

Is my God

Prayer for today

Today You called me to pray for Your children to come out of the false unity offered by a false church and discover the eternal unity of the True Church, the Body of Christ.

The prayers before still are on my heart and indeed are part of my soul. When the cries are not heard by my heart they still continue in my soul.

Help me to be a better husband father and person to others. Do not let the pain caused by me to destroy their life and faith.

June 27

Ezekiel 39:21 “I will set My glory among the nations; all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed, and My hand which I have laid on them.

Meditate on this verse.

What does this verse mean for the world?

His judgment is over all

His judgment is executed

God laid His hand on us

Prayer for today

Today I give thanks to the Living God who has created and formed with His hands we who are human. We are created in God’s image. Even though we have fallen and no longer who we were created to be or should be God has made every effort to return us to who we should be.

I pray my family and friends will discover and enjoy Your love and forgiveness. I love you oh God. I’m praying You will help them see your presence and love which surrounds them. May they discover a life that glorifies you and fulfills and brings joy to their life.

Around the world there are so many to cry out in fear and in anger. Many do not know what they need or indeed Who they need. Some are unwilling to come to You and discover Your Love. Out of fear, anger, or Pride they cannot or will not come to you. Break through their darkness and fear Lord and open them to Your Light and Your love.

Once again God I hear the cries and the screams of so many. Even as they throw their fists at you God their souls cry out for deliverance and for hope. Make them aware of these cries so they may come to You and find Your light as protection against the darkness of hell.

So many scream because they live in their own hell. They have been abused, used treated people more like meat then as a human being. They are sold, their bodies are sold for more purposes then I can even imagine. But you oh God who loves them knows every pain and every fear and every tear.

You also know the hearts of those who abuse and use those home are in their power. You care for them God and cry out to them and offer hope as You do to those they abused.

I cannot understand this. How can I understand a love so deep and so amazing. How can I understand a love which cares about those I struggle not to hate. I cannot understand it. Just as I cannot understand how you care about me.

I pray for your church, your body upon this Earth and throughout eternity. I pray we would be empowered by Jesus the Living Word to understand the Bible which is the Your written word. Help us to understand that only in the Bible can You reveal the Living Word Jesus Christ. Help us to understand that even in the Bible we see just a reflection of who You are God.

I would pray for the denominations and the country I live in but I do not know what to pray at all. Are you using this time difficulty and pain to call us back to you. Is this a teachable moment or is it a destructive attempt of the evil one? So as I pray in everything let your will be done, amen which means so be it.

Father I know but I I am a failure to my family and to you. I know I have once again crucified your Son, Jesus Christ. I know that I no longer am part of the body of Christ and no longer look to be with You. But I still pray for those You place on my heart. Please hear this prayer even though from a lost one.

Ezekiel 31:18 ‘To which of the trees in Eden will you then be likened in glory and greatness? Yet you shall be brought down with the trees of Eden to the depths of the earth; you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude,’ says the Lord GOD.”

What does the Pharaoh and all his multitude have to do this verse?

What trees are in Eden?

When will the trees of Eden be brought down?

Does Eden still exist?

Will I trust in God

Will I trust in nations

Will I trust in armies

I will trust in God

Screams grasp out across the land

weeping floods pour through land

pain grows more than can stand

erode foundation we upon stand

Evil lives and in glee does destroy

our surrender allows evil to destroy

sea of chaos washes away our joy

what we need to stand is God’s joy

June 25

Ezekiel 26:20 ‘then I will bring you down with those who descend into the Pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell in the lowest part of the earth, in places desolate from antiquity, with those who go down to the Pit, so that you may never be inhabited; and I shall establish glory in the land of the living.

What is the Pit?

What does the lowest part of the earth mean?

How can I ascend

Ezekiel 25:9 “therefore, behold, I will clear the territory of Moab of cities, of the cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kirjathaim.

Who is the nation of Moab?

Why is God going to clear the territory of Moab?

Use a Bible Atlas to see where Moab and the cities are located.

What does Beth and Baal mean as part of the city names?

Why are nations destroyed

Why do nations disappear

Why do some people destroy

God, will I just disappear

Some say from salvation we cannot depart

but God says to depart from the Holy Spirit

depart from the taste of the heavenly gift

is to crucify Jesus again and cause shame

God, I brought so much disgrace to You

I served pornography instead of You

I loved pornography instead of You

God, I brought so much disgrace to You

June 23

Ezekiel 24:25 ‘And you, son of man— will it not be in the day when I take from them their stronghold, their joy and their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that on which they set their minds, their sons and their daughters:

Using a concordance or cross references show how the Bible uses son of man.

Why is God taking all this away from them?

Did Jesus give this up when He died on the cross?

I am warned God

the danger of sin

so much will lose

when I let sin win

June 22

Ezekiel 20:15 “So I also raised My hand in an oath to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, ‘flowing with milk and honey,’ the glory of all lands,

What does it mean to be in the wilderness?

Why would not bring them into the land given them if they are in the wilderness?

Why does God say this land is the glory of all lands?

I am lost God

bring me home

to Your glory

to Your home

I cry out to God

Forgive my sins LORD God

Let me drink in Your blessing

Rescue me from my wilderness

Let me taste of Your blessing

I beg You LORD

June 21

Ezekiel 20:6 “On that day I raised My hand in an oath to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, ‘flowing with milk and honey,’ the glory of all lands.

Take time to meditate on this verse.

What does raised My hand in an oath to them mean?

and promises blessing

God prepares a place

of glory and blessing

June 20

Ezekiel 11:23 And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city and stood on the mountain, which is on the east side of the city.

What does it mean the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city?

Why did the the glory of the LORD leave the city and stand on the mountain?

Is there a reason we are told the mountain is on the east side of the city? (Do different directions have a special meaning in scripture?)

Do not leave God

You are our heart

Heart of the city

We need You God

June 19

Ezekiel 11:22 So the cherubim lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was high above them.

Heaven praises God

Creation praises God

His children praise God

Let everyone praise God
