I've linked all the verses to Bible Gateway for you to read in case you don't have a Bible handy. I hope you read them, but I really hope that you at least just take the time to read through each prayer I have here. To understand why, check out THIS POST.
Isaiah 2
2:2-5--Establish the mountain of Your temple, Lord. Exalt it so high that all nations will stream to it. Draw ALL nations to Yourself, God. May they truly and fully come to know You as the One who will teach them Your ways so that they can walk in Your paths. May they want to walk in Your path.
Bring peace & prosperity to this earth. Turn swords into plowshares--that no nation will ever go against another nation again, but rather a harvest will be reaped.
2:17--Lord, You alone are worthy of being exalted. Bring low the arrogance of man and humble human pride. Let every human recognize they are nothing without You. You deserve all the glory. Let us be truly humbled and turn to You wholeheartedly for our every need.
Isaiah 3:10--God, in the midst of all trials and persecution that the righteous endure, help them to believe this promise. Help them to fully believe that it will be well with them; that they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.
Isaiah 4:2-6 God, make the Branch of the Lord beautiful and glorious to the survivors in Israel. Bring revelation to the Jews around the world that the Messiah has come, that God is with us! May the remnant be called holy. Wash away their stains with Your spirits of judgment and fire. Give them the shelter and refuge they will finally seek from You.
God, we stand in the gap for the Israelites and repent of their unrighteousness. You delighted in them, Your vineyard, yet You yielded only bad fruit. You are indeed proved holy by Your righteous acts.
And Lord, I repent of my own personal lack of yielding good fruit at times. Help me to constantly abide in You, for apart from You, I can do nothing.
