Jeremiah 17:7-10, 13-18 NKJV
[7] “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. [8] For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit. [9] “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? [10] I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.
Heavenly Father, You are the Fountain of Living Waters. Our hope is in You, and we trust You. Fear is not our future; Your promise to give us a future and hope remains the same, and I claim every blessing in the Name of Jesus for our good, the good of others, and Your Glory. Lord, I declare that no physical, spiritual, emotional, or mental weapons formed against us and our loved ones shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against us on the alters of wicked men or women shall return to them according to the measurement of their curses against Your children, and our loved ones. Lord, You say to pray for our enemies; I pray that all who forsake You, shall come to the truth and knowledge of Your Only begotten Son, and His Saving Grace, by the Power of Your Holy Spirit. And those who have departed from You, Lord, I pray that You surround them with Your army of warrior angels, and godly men and women to minister Your steadfast love, mercy, and compassion toward them; You are not a god made by the hands of man; and nothing can take away Your love from us. Heal us and save us from the sins of our flesh, the devil, and the world, and cleanse us with the precious Blood of Jesus Christ, Your Only Begotten Son, and our Savior, and Redeemer, Amen
[13] O Lord, the hope of Israel, All who forsake You shall be ashamed.
“Those who depart from Me Shall be written in the earth, Because they have forsaken the Lord, The fountain of living waters.”
[14] Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For You are my praise. [15] Indeed they say to me, “Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come now!” [16] As for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd who follows You, Nor have I desired the woeful day; You know what came out of my lips; It was right there before You. [17] Do not be a terror to me; You are my hope in the day of doom. [18] Let them be ashamed who persecute me, But do not let me be put to shame; Let them be dismayed, But do not let me be dismayed. Bring on them the day of doom, And destroy them with double destruction!
