Lord, we plow up the hard ground of our hearts. We stop sowing good seed amongthorns. We circumcise ourselves to You and we take away the foreskins of our heart.Lord, we wash our hearts from wickedness and stop harboring devious and malignantdesigns within us.Lord, please would You remove the bitter taste of our punishment which pierces ourhearts. Lord, our heart cries out aloud in anguish - we writhe in pain. <strong>The</strong> enemy comesin battle against us. Waves of destruction roll over us, our houses and our land until welie in complete desolation. Our shelters are gone. Lord – how long will we have to seebattle? Deliver us Lord!We acknowledge that we do not know You, that we do not yet have understanding, thatwe are clever enough at doing wrong but have no idea how to do right! Now our fertilefields have become a wilderness and our land is ruined. We cry and groan – theanguish of a woman in labor, the cry of the daughter of Zion reaching out for help – fromthe murderers! Deliver us Lord – we cry to You.Deliverance From Babylon – CorruptionLord, forgive us and our ancestors for not being just and honest , for refusing to becorrected by you and refusing to be corrected, being hard-hearted and refusing to returnto You. Forgive our leaders for not knowing Your ways and Your judgment, but throwingoff Your yoke and breaking free of all restraint. Forgive us and our ancestors for takingpart in prostitution and for committing adultery.Forgive us for betraying you, for ignoring Your word to us and refusing to heed Yourwarnings. Now, the destroyer has consumed the food of our harvest, our sons anddaughters and all our possessions. <strong>The</strong> insurance and defenses in which we trustedhave not protected us!Lord, forgive us for having eyes and not seeing, for having ears and not hearing You.Help us to hear you with our hearts.Lord, we will walk in righteous fear of You - who have created order and boundaries fornature and for man. Forgive us for having a defiant and rebellious heart. Our iniquitieshave shut up the autumn and the spring rains. We have missed the appointed weeks ofthe harvest and our sins have withheld good things from us.Forgive us for setting traps for unsuspecting victims, for stuffing our houses with illgottengain from exploitation, for not looking after the orphans and the needy. Forgiveus for being lying prophets and ruler-priests who rule by our own power with an ironhand. Forgive us for tolerating such.152
