Jeremiah 18:1-8 New King James Version

1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: 2 “Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear My words.”
     Holy Spirit, please help us go where we will hear your word to us.

3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.
     Father, please remold us in whatever way seems good to you.

5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 6 “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?” says the Lord. “Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel!
     Jesus, please mold me for your purposes.

7 The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, 8 if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it.
     Holy Spirit, help us repent as a nation so that disaster does not come upon us.

A Word Received: Repent, and do not covet what is not yours.

Psalm 139:13-16

13 For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
     Father, please protect all whom you have formed in the womb from abortion.

14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
     Father, you have formed me and made me; thank you.

15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
     Father, you have given me skills I could never have anticipated.

16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
     Father, you knew me before I was born; thank you.

A Word Received: Look to me for hope when all seems wrong.

Psalm 139:1-12 New King James Version
1 O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
     LORD, you know all my sins, please make me clean.

2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
     Jesus, you understand all my thoughts, please make them clean by your blood.

3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
     Holy Spirit, there is nothing hidden from you. You know what needs to be done in my life.

4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
     Father, you know every word of my mouth even before I speak it.

5 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
     Jesus, you have placed me where you want me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.
     Jesus, what I know of you is more than I can comprehend.

7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
     Father, there is no place I can go where I am not in your sight.

8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
     LORD, wherever I go, you are there with me; thank you.

11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
     Jesus, there is no darkness dark enough to keep me from your light.

A Word Received: Look to me for light in the darkness.

2 Timothy 4:1-5 New King James Version

1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:
     Jesus, please help me respond to your call to me.

2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
     Holy Spirit, help me preach the word whatever the circumstances.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
     Lord, we live in such a time where people will not hear sound doctrine.

4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
     Father, many have turned away from the truth of your word.

5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
     Jesus, please help me be watchful in all things and do the work of an evangelist.

A Word Received: Listen for my word to you directing you on the right path.

Job 19:25-27

And He shall stand at last on the earth;
26 And after my skin is destroyed, this I know,
That in my flesh I shall see God,
27 Whom I shall see for myself,
And my eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger.
     Jesus, thank you for redeeming me and giving me the hope of eternal life with you.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

1 Corinthians 15:51-58 King James Version

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
     Jesus, I look forward to that change.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
     Jesus, win the victory in me.

55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
     Jesus, you have defeated death and the grave, thank you.

56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
     Jesus, you have won the victory, and you are Lord.

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
     Holy Spirit, please help us to be steadfast in the work of the Lord.

A Word Received: Lay your burdens down at the foot of my cross and rejoice with me for I have won the victory.
