Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:21-23 (AMP)
El Hayyay – God of My Life, I lift You up giving glory, honour and praise. I come before You asking for forgiveness of my sins of thoughts, words, deeds; known and unknown, seen and unseen. I thank You for what You have done, what You are doing and what You intend to do.
Today I’m asking to be refined. I request the beginning of the process for my sins to be consumed and me refined. I pray all impurities are removed and my physical, mental and spiritual self is changed, so only the reflection of You will be felt and seen. As I go through the heat that life puts my way, in the form of doubt, temptation, uncalled for or unholy anger, resentment, all harmful and negative emotions, rejection of all that is good or jealousy; I ask that I may feel Your presence. Especially in these unusual circumstances everyone faces, I pray nothing will prevent me from taking hold of the blessings, gifts and promises You are providing. Help me, as I am refined, to realise and remember Your promises. For by the stripes of Your Son Yeshua HaMashiach, I have been healed. I am forgiven. I am made whole.
Many people will be made pure—they will make themselves clean. But evil people will continue to be evil. And those wicked people will not understand these things, but the wise people will understand them.
Daniel 12:10 (ESV)
“And I will bring the third part through the fire, Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will listen and answer them; I will say, ‘They are My people,’ And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”
Zechariah 13:9 (AMP)
But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like launderer’s soap (which removes impurities and uncleanness).
Malachi 3:2 (AMP)
In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,
“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
6 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”
Hebrews 12:4-6 (AMP
28 Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, and offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship with reverence and awe; 29 for our God is (indeed) a consuming fire.
Hebrews 12:28-29 (AMP)
To You who is able to keep me from falling and to present me before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy – to You who is the only God, my Saviour, be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Yeshua The Anointed One, my Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen. Jude 1:24-25
