JWOC - Prayer Confession

The bonds of wickedness are broken, the bands of the yoke is undone, the oppressed are going free and every enslaving yoke is broken because this is the fast, which the Lord has chosen. I divide my bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into my house. When I see the naked, I cover him. I do not hide from the needs of my own flesh and blood.

My light is breaking forth like the morning, and my healing; my restoration and the power of my new life are springing forth fast. My righteousness, my rightness, my justice and my right relation with God have gone before me. It is conducting me to peace and prosperity and the glory of the Lord is my rear guard.

When I call on the Lord, He answers me. When I cry he says, “Here I am”. I remove myself from yokes of oppression wherever I find them, whether it is the finger pointed in scorn toward the oppressed or the Godly or every form of false, harsh, unjust and wicked speaking.

My light rises in darkness, my obscurity and gloom are like the noonday because I pour out of that which sustains my own life into the hungry and satisfy the need of the afflicted. The Lord is continually guiding me and satisfying me in drought and in dry places. He makes my bones strong. I am like both a watered garden and a spring of water whose water does not fail.

My ancient ruins are being rebuilt. The foundations of buildings that have been lying in waste for many generations are being raised up. I am called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in. I no longer go my own way or seek or find my own pleasure or speak with idle words on the Sabbath, God’s holy day. The Sabbath is my spiritual delight. It is honorable and I honor God and it.

My delight is in the Lord. He is making me to ride on the high places of the earth. I am being fed with the promised heritage of Jacob.

The mouth of the Lord has spoken it. Amen!
