Isaiah 59 ~ Praying Scripture


Please read Isaiah 59.
Meditate on verses 1-2.

Behold, the LORD’s hand is not so short that it cannot save;
nor is His ear so dull that it cannot hear.
But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God,
and your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.

Isaiah 59 is your story.  It is the story of every person who has and who will ever live on earth.  Sin separates you from God.  This chapter tells you sin in your life means no righteousness, no hope, no salvation, only darkness, and gloom.

God saw your hopeless situation and it was displeasing in His sight.  He also saw there was no man to intercede on your behalf.  So the LORD Himself brought salvation.  He put on righteousness, salvation, zeal, and vengeance.  The LORD comes to you as your Redeemer.  All you have to do is turn from your transgression to your Redeemer LORD and fear His Name (Isaiah 59:15-20).

Reread this chapter.  It is the salvation story.

Pray Isaiah 59:21 over yourself and those you love.

“LORD, thank You that Your covenant is with my family.
Let Your Spirit be upon us.
Put Your Words in our mouth.
Do not let Your Words depart from our mouth,
nor from the mouth of our offspring,
nor from the mouth of our offspring’s offspring now and forever.
In Your Name, Jesus~”
