Jeremiah 23 : 20-30
KJV


20 The anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have executed,
and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart:
in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran:
I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel,
and had caused my people to hear my words,
then they should have turned them from their evil way,
and from the evil of their doings.
23 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him?
saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.
25 I have heard what the prophets said,
that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the
prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the
deceit of their own heart;
27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name
by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour,
as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream;
and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully.
What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord.
29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord;
and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets,
saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank You for the great light You
send throughout the world to let us know that You forgive,
that no sin is too great for You to forgive.
Grant that people may cry out,
"Have mercy on me, O God!"
Give them the spirit of prayer in their hearts to call,
"Father, forgive us our sins."
Send Your Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth and humility,
and then forgive their sins.
Wherever a soul is sighing,
wherever someone is calling to You, hear him.
May our prayers come before Your throne.
Hear and answer us. We have so much on our
hearts that we cannot rightly express it all.
We pray for others too. Father, forgive them.
Clear away all the obstacles so that Your judgment
can be merciful toward those whom You forgive.
Be with us. May we be a church community of Jesus Christ,
washed in his blood, with strength to face every
bitter outburst of the world's fury and still forgive.
May our prayer remain,
"Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.""


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
