Isaiah 65 ~ Praying God's Word

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 eternally dead. But because of His great love for you, He died for you, so you could be eternally living.

God said in Isaiah 65, He came to you even though you were not 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 2,000 years ago. Pray for someone who needs to know Christ became their sin, so they can become His righteousness. Pray Isaiah 65:1, 13, and 14 over yourself and them as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, thank You for seeking me

before I even knew I needed You.

Please let ______________ find You.

Make us Your servants,

so we can eat and not be hungry.

Make us Your servants,

so we can drink and not be thirsty.

Make us Your servants,

so we 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~”
