Isaiah 65 ~ Praying Scripture

Please read Isaiah 65.

Meditate on verses 1-2.

I permitted Myself to be sought by those who did not ask for Me;

I permitted Myself to be found by those who did not seek Me.

I said, “Here am I, here am I.”

to a nation which did not call on My name.

I have spread out My hands all day long to a rebellious people

who walk in the way which is not good, following their own thoughts.

Jesus Christ became your sin, so you could become His righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21).  He did that for you because it was a life or death situation.  If Jesus had not willingly become your sin, you would be in eternal death.  But because of His great love for you, He died for you, so you could be in eternal life. 

God says in Isaiah 65 He came to you even though you weren’t seeking Him, asking for Him, or calling on His name.  That is how much the LORD loves you.  In the midst of your rebellion, God spread out His hands on the cross so you do not have to walk in a way which is not good, following your own thoughts.

“How deep the Father's love for us, how vast beyond all measure, that He should give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure (Stuart Townend).”

Thank the LORD for what He did for you 2000 years ago today.  Pray for someone who needs to know that Christ became their sin so they can become His righteousness.  Pray Isaiah 65:1, 13, and 14 over yourself and them.

“LORD, thank You for seeking me before I even knew I needed You.

Please let ______________ find You.

Make them Your servant, so they can eat and not be hungry.

Make them Your servant, so they can drink and not be thirsty.

Make them Your servant, so they can rejoice and not be put to shame.

As Your servant, I shout joyfully with a glad heart.

I no longer cry with a heavy heart nor wail with a broken spirit.

Only because of You, Jesus~”
