Responses to the God of the Prophets:

God requires obedience to His revealed will.

God takes sin seriously and will judge sinners. Purify yourself in light of God's judgment.

God's judgment of sinners is righteous. Faithfully witness in light of this coming judgment.

Serve our God who provides encouragement and empowerment for service.

Live genuinely before the Lord seeing that obedience to God is more important than ritual.
Zech. 7:9 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: 10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
God wants us to live with eternity's values in view.

God desires that we reflect and glorify Him in our relationships and use of money.
Malachi 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

Prayer of Response to God's Faithful Intervention:

Holy God, grant us courageous obedience in following your Word as holy men of God carried along by Your Holy Spirit.
Let us be faithful to our faithful God, knowing we are eternally Yours in righteousness, judgment, loving-kindness, mercies, and faithfulness; knowing You through Your Word, having received eternal life through Jesus. Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: as we render to You the praise of our lips.
Let us identify and turn from sins in our lives, seeing them as You do with Your Pure eyes and Loving heart, for Your ways are right and we want to walk in them. Lord unto You will we cry as we humbly respond to the teachings of Your Son. Our hearts are broken and we are contrite as we turn to You , and remember that You are gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, turn from the terrible spankings we deserve.
We do not want to be those who sell the righteous for our own gain or pant lustfully after the things of this world, neither do we want to cause others to stumble.
Help us, before leaving our prayer time each morning to ask, " What sayeth my Lord unto His servant?", clean out our ears that I may listen to what our Lord commands. Command us what you will and give us what you command.
We respect and trust You our Judge, understanding from Your Word that when we stumble, You will not let us fall upon the earth. Help us to recognize pride and to turn from it, seeking to know and do Your good and acceptable will.
When our souls faint within us, let us remember You, and let our prayer come unto You. Let us respond to our failures by submitting to You, our Lord and our God. Turn us from the desires of reward, or hire, or money, leaning upon You with confidence from Your Word that You permanently indwell us and that no evil can ever come upon and destroy us.
Help us to rejoice in the forgiveness of our sins, the future You have promised with Your Son, our Savior. Make us truly be in practice what we already are in Christ, dealing justly in our way of life, loving mercy, and walking humbly with our God. Therefore will we look unto the Lord; we will wait for the God of our salvation: our God will hear us, because He retains not His anger forever and delights in mercy.
