O Lord, Discipline Us
Ezekiel 22:23-31 – Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken. The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
We are all indicted from this scripture, the Princes [our Leaders], the prophets [our Clergies] and the People [all others that are not Princes or Prophets]. We need to pray for mercy and ask God to discipline us. Let us pray:

We are all indicted from this scripture, the Princes [our Leaders], the prophets [our Clergies] and the People [all others that are not Princes or Prophets]. We need to pray for mercy and ask God to discipline us. Let us pray:
- Thank God for His love and mercies, and for not allowing us to be destroyed in our evil.
- Tell God that you are ready to amend your ways.
- Ask God to create in you a new heart that will serve him as He want and not as you want.
- Ask God for the spirit of Love so that you won’t do the evils referred to by God in our scripture or any other evil.
- Tell God that you don’t want to learn in a hard way but if it be His will to discipline you, let His will be done, so that you soul will be saved.
- Pray for all the Princes [Leaders and Rulers in the secular world] that God should give them a new heart and a new spirit.
- Ask God to discipline our princes in His will.
- Pray for all the Prophets [all clergy and religious leaders irrespective of their religion]. Ask God to constrain them to doing His will and His Son’s will. Ask God to give them a new heart and a new spirit.
- Ask God to discipline our prophets in His will.
- Ask God to raise up people even you, to be able to stand in the gap.
- Intercede for the land that God should have mercy and don’t afflict nor destroy the land.
- Begin to appreciate God for doing more than what you have requested. Shalom!
