Isaiah 57 ~ Praying Scripture

Please read Isaiah 57.

Meditate on verse 21.

“There is no peace,” says my God,  “for the wicked.”

There are precious promises and dire warnings in Isaiah 57.  God says in verses 1 and 2 that the righteous man is taken away from evil and enters into peace.  The high and exalted One Who lives forever, Whose name is Holy, also says, “I dwell on a  high and holy place, and also with the contrite and lowly of spirit in order to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.” 

It is amazing to think that the God of the Universe resides with you when you are humble and sorrowful about your sin.  He stays with you to revive you so you can live for and with Him forever. 

But with those who continue in the pride of their sin, God is angry and hides His face from them.  The LORD says they will have no peace.

Pray Isaiah 57:14-15 over those for whom the LORD has appointed you a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, please build up and prepare the way for ______________.

Remove every obstacle from their life that keeps them from You.

Give them a contrite and lowly spirit

so that You will dwell with them and revive them.

In Your Name, Jesus~”
