Rip the heavens apart! Come down, Lord; make the mountains tremble. Be a spark that starts a fire causing water to boil. Then your enemies will know who you are; all nations will tremble because you are nearby.
Your fearsome deeds have completely amazed us; even the mountains shake when you come down. You are the only God ever seen or heard of who works miracles for his followers.
You help all who gladly obey and do what you want, but sin makes you angry. Only by your help can we ever be saved. We are unfit to worship you; each of our good deeds is merely a filthy rag. We dry up like leaves; our sins are storm winds sweeping us away. No one worships in your name or remains faithful. You have turned your back on us and let our sins melt us away.
You, Lord, are our Father. We are nothing but clay, but you are the potter who molded us. Don’t be so furious or keep our sins in your thoughts forever! Remember that all of us are your people.
Isaiah 64:1-9 Contemporary English Version-CEV
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for answering prayer. Thank You for giving Your only Son, Jesus, to save us. With expectancy, we wait for what comes next because we know You are the God of completion. Help us to advance Your Kingdom as we wait for our Savior to return to us and finish Your work.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen
