Praise:
Shabbat's Torah and prophetic readings both point out the power of intercession. They also show us that intercession must be focused on God's glory and not on what is best for Israel. Of course, this would also apply to prayers in general – including personal prayers.
-
Lord Yeshua, we praise You for being that prophet like Moses (Deut. 18:15; John 6:14; 7:40) whom God has raised up for us – especially as Moses was the greatest intercessor in the Tanach – the Old Testament – and today You constantly intercede for us (Ex. 32:9-13; Num. 11:2; 21:7; Heb. 7:25).
-
Abba Father, we thank You for the encouragement in Shabbat's prophetic portion in Ezekiel 36 to persist in prayer as after You expressed what You would do with Israel in these days, in 36:37a You said that You would wait for Israel to ask You to do that which is Your revealed will.
-
Lord Yeshua, we are truly blessed to co-labor with You as we pray for Your kingdom to come and Your will to be done on earth (Luke 11:2; 1 Cor. 3:9).
-
Thank You Almighty God for revealing in the Torah portion that Your grace and mercy depends on You to distribute and does not depend on how good or righteous we are (Ex. 33:18-19; Rom. 9:15).
