Jeremiah 1 - Praying God's Word

Please read Jeremiah 1.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/jer/1/1/s_746001

Meditate on verse 9.

Then the LORD stretched out His hand

and touched my mouth,

 and the LORD said to me,

 “Behold, I have put My Words in your mouth.”

For the next 52 days, you will read the book of Jeremiah. Jeremiah was a preacher in Jerusalem for 53 years. His ministry started in 627 BC, 22 years before Judah was first conquered by the Babylonians.

God called Jeremiah to preach to people who needed to hear and heed His Word. God put His words in Jeremiah’s mouth and told him to speak everything He commanded him to say (vs. 9, 17). The people would fight against Jeremiah, but he was not to be dismayed; God would deliver him.

If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you have a calling from God. He expects you to obey His plan for your life. Do not be dismayed! The LORD promises to always be with you (Matthew 28:19-20).

Pray Jeremiah 1:7-9 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, help ________ and me stop making excuses.

Everywhere You send us, help us go.

All You command us, let us speak.

Help us not be afraid of people.

Thank You for being with us to deliver us.

Touch our mouths, LORD, and put Your Words into our mouths.

For Your name’s sake, Jesus~”

Thankfully, God gave you His Psalms, the book of 150 prayers, praises, and songs that declare truth about Him. Psalms helps you regain the focus God expects from His creation. It gives you ways to articulate moments in life too glorious and/or difficult for words. Psalms helps you intimately and genuinely worship your Creator and Savior.

Hopefully the past 100 days, your summer of psalms, have given you the holy habit of meditating on and praising God. Thank Him for what He has taught you and pray Psalm 100 as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“I shout joyfully to You, LORD!

I will serve You with gladness and come before You with joyful singing.


LORD, I know You are God.

We give thanks to You and bless Your name, for You are good.

Thank You, LORD Jesus, in Your Holy name~”

The LORD reigns; let the peoples tremble.


He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth shake!

You are enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth shake!

LORD, You are great in Zion, and You
are exalted above all the peoples.


Let us praise Your great and awesome name; You are holy.

 Your strength, O King, loves justice; You have established equity;

You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

 Please execute justice and righteousness in our land.


I exalt You, LORD our God, and worship at Your footstool.

You are holy! I exalt You, LORD our God,
and worship at Your holy hill,


For You are holy, LORD our God, Jesus~”

Psalm 95 - Praying God's Word

Please read Psalm 95.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/psa/95/1/s_573001

Meditate on verses 7b-8a.

Today, if you would hear His voice, do not harden your hearts ...

In a world full of wickedness and evil, it is tempting to be cynical and calloused; however, God exhorts you not to harden your heart. Heed His Words from Psalm 95:8-11:

“I loathed that hard-hearted generation who had seen My work,

 yet they tested and tried Me. They erred in their heart

 and did not know My ways. Therefore I swore in My anger,

truly they shall not enter into My rest.”

Hear the LORD speaking to you, and accept His invitation to come into His presence with thanksgiving, joyfully singing and shouting to the Rock of your salvation (vs. 1-2). It is the cure for callousness and the antidote to hard-heartedness.

Come, worship, bow down, kneel before the LORD your Maker (v. 6) and praise Him with Psalm 95:3-5 and 7-8 as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, You are a great God and a great King above
all gods,

in whose hand are the depths of the earth.


The peaks of the mountains are Yours also.

The sea is Yours,
for You made it, and Your hands formed the dry land.


You are _________ and my God!


We are the people of Your pasture and the sheep of Your hand.

Today, let us hear Your voice, and do not let us harden our hearts.

 For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
