O
God of Ezra. Your Word says "God, the Lord, is my strength; he makes me
tread upon the heights" (Habakkuk 3:19). The strength of Ezra is your
Word," FOR EZRA HAD SET HIS HEART TO STUDY THE LAW OF THE LORD AND TO DO
IT" (Ezra 7:10). Dear God, Though Ezra was one of the exiles, you made him
leader to lead second body of exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem. He was a teacher,
skilled scribe, priest, Governor, theological scholar and a great leader of
religious awakening movement. O God of separation, you separated light from the
darkness but your people ( Priests & Levites) were not separated and were
mixed up with Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites , Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites,
Egyptians and Amorites (Ezra 9:1-4) during their comfortable stay after exile.
A small prayer by Ezra in chapter (9:5-15), changed the course of the people. People
who were mixed up in such a way that they cannot be separated with the
gentiles. Ezra by the power of your Word and his earnest prayers influenced
church and society. We see people made a covenant to separate. Almighty God, we
are not in a position to have an effect on church, society, neighbours,
colleagues, relatives and friends. Give us the same power like Ezra to impact and
turn your people towards you. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
