My Prayer on the 10 commandments – the Law of God
Scriptures: Deuteronomy 5
Father, My God, give me strength and faith and show mercy on me. Jesus I declare with my mouth that you are my God, the only God and I acknowledge that you have control over my heart, my soul, and my strength. In my understanding I obey You only, serve You willingly and love You honestly. God please guide me to honour You in every breath that I take, in every word that I speak and that I glorify your name only.
God, I trust in you to lead me. Father send your spirit as my discernment and my guide to recognise the enemy if he should present himself as a higher being than you. Then You will crush him under your feet like a piece of pottery and your name will be exalted in the heavens as it is on earth. I rely on your mercy and grace my Lord to walk every day in faith knowing that you love us, so much, that you send your only son, my Lord, Jesus Christ, as a sacrifice. I thank you Father for your Grace.
God, my Father, forgive me if I misuse your name or use it for anything other than to glorify You. I rely on your spirit of truth to protect me against the evil schemes of the enemy who will use this against me. By your spirit that is in me, I obey your voice and your commands. You are the Lord, my God, and your name is a mighty tower above my head, a fortress that cannot be penetrated.
Father, I want to serve You and exalt You every day and every moment, I want to spread the good news of your love and glory but help me to also rest and listen. Father in your presence I want to be still and know that You are God, creator of the universe and all that is in it. Ruler of Kings of the Earth.
Father God, I will abide in you. Bless my earthly mother and father who You have given me so I may honour them by honouring and worshipping you.
I pray Father that your Holy Spirit will put a guard on my mouth so that I do not hurt, murder, or steal with my tongue from your treasures in heaven.
God, my father, mercy be on me so that I do not commit adultery against You my heavenly groom, that I do not betray you in my weak moments and that I honour your love by submitting and committing to my earthly husband whom You have given me. That by loving him with all my heart in serving you, I will honour You always in love.
Father above all, pour your love on me so that I may be filled with your love and sacrifice as it serves my neighbours, that I may be a beacon of goodness and forgiveness for your name sake.
Father, I pray in faith and rely on your promises that my heart belongs to you and that you will never let me out of your hand.
Amen

Lord, lead us not into temptation,

Isaiah 50
Regarding Israel’s Sin and the Servant’s Obedience
Let the one who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on their God.
This is what the Lord says of His bride, Israel, the people of God.
“Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce with which I sent her away? Who agreed to this separation? To obtain a certificate of divorce both parties have to agree and sign. The Lord did not agree to this divorce.
Or to which of my creditors did I sell you? I have not sold you out, I have not walked away…
Because of your sins you were sold; because of your transgressions your mother was sent away. You chose to walk away from me. You chose to sin by turning your face away from me, by ignoring me when I called you.
When I called, why was there no one to answer?When I came, why was there no one?
Was my arm too short to deliver you? Do you not know that I would move the mountains for you? Do I lack the strength to rescue you?
By a mere rebuke I dry up the sea, I turn rivers into a desert;their fish rot for lack of water and die of thirst.
I clothe the heavens with darkness and make sackcloth its covering.”
The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary.
He wakens me morning by morning,
wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.
The Sovereign Lord has opened my ears;
I have not been rebellious, I have not turned away.
I offered my back to those who beat me,
my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;
I did not hide my face from mocking and spitting.
Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced.
Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.
He who vindicates me is near.
Who then will bring charges against me?
Let us face each other! Who is my accuser? Let him confront me!
It is the Sovereign Lord who helps me.
Who will condemn me?
They will all wear out like a garment; the moths will eat them up.
Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the word of his servant?
Let the one who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on their God.
But now, all you who light fires and provide yourselves with flaming torches, go, walk in the light of your fires and of the torches you have set ablaze.
Amen
