We Are The Clay—You LORD, Are The Potter

Condensed version from the blog: In His Word

8 But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. Isaiah 64:8 (KJV)

O LORD, teach us by Your Word and through Your Spirit. Mold us in the image of Your love, removing all those things that You hate. O LORD, mold us in your image; for you are the potter and we are your clay.

16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. —Proverbs 6:16-19 (KJV)


Prayer For The Master's Hand To Mold Us In His Likeness

O LORD,

Mold our thoughts, speech, actions, and how we influence others. Deliver unto us Your Holy Spirit to continually monitor our actions, thoughts, and behavior, all that which is central to our daily lives, so we may glorify You in all things. May Your Will be done. In the power of the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus. Amen!

Let not our pride drive rebellion and disobedience against Your laws. When our pride is wounded, occupy our heart, fill it with Your love and comfort.

You know us from afar off and will grind out our haughty pride. Mold us in Your likeness. Mold our attitude to reflect Your Love; and may all our activities be in obedience and for Your Glory. O Lord, keep us humble, remove our defiance as you mold us in Christ. Mold us and teach us to follow Jesus who was meek and lowly in heart.

We know you are a God of truth, who cannot lie, and Your Son Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Mold us in His image so that we may revolve around the truth and bring the truth, the Good News of Jesus to others.

Keep us from speaking lies, no matter how small or large, so we may please You in all things. For it is written that 'he that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life, but he that openeth wide his lips, shall have destruction." Father in Heaven, mold our tongue so that it may speak truth, which is the only acceptable position to God.

You gave to Moses the Ten Commandments. One of those laws was 'Thou Shalt Not Murder.' All life is precious and created in Your image. Your Son Jesus taught us that because of our sinful pride we can commit murder in our heart. Mold our actions that we will use our hands and hearts for the benefit of preserving innocent life and to the Glory of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Jesus brought us the Word and tells us that man is created in the image of God. God’s goal is to immortalize man, however, murder is a way of hindering that purpose. Mold our actions that we may love others the God loves us.

You know our thoughts and needs before even we know them. Our heart is the fountain of all sin. Mold our heart and fill it with the knowledge of God. Leave no room for evil. Mold our thoughts so that our hearts may be a workshop unto the Glory of the Kingdom of God.

You teach us that the "heart—the mind" is the source of sin and that evil men make their heart a workshop to fabricate and prepare many wicked plans. These are so degraded that the only way they can obtain pleasure is by doing evil. Mold us, Dear Lord, into disciples of Christ, fill our heart with the knowledge of God, and lead us to spread the Good News to those who are thirsty for Your Word.

We are sinners and fall short of the Glory of God. Only through Jesus, the Son of God, the Christ who died on the cross at Calvary, are we able to come to God the Father. Mold us in Thine image and point our feed in the direction of Your Word to which we shall always run. Forgive us, for we have sinned. May the Power of the Holy Spirit dwell within us and hasten us to run not towards evil but rather towards the things of the Holy Bible. May the Will of God be done always. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Forgive us for bearing false witness against our neighbor. Your moral code is perfect and we fall short of Your Perfection. Mold the character of our speech that each word we utter is to the benefit and glory of Almighty God our Father. Bring Christ to us so that we have Jesus at all times as the silent listener to every conversation. Mold our speech and lead us in His perfect way.

Mold us in a way to keep a guard on our tongue, so we are careful what we say. Mold our speech and help us control what we say so that we may become more in the likeness of Your image. Always send us to God's Word in matters related to controlling our tongues.

Deliver to us your instructions on how we should use our influence. Mold our character and our influence. Mold us so that we avoid those who cause divisions and sow discord among our brethren.

Hear our prayers. Mold us, and our influence, to follow the positive commands of Christ that we must hear no evil, think no evil, and speak no evil. Mold us with discernment in our hearts that we shall recognize the goodness in Your flock and the wickedness from the World; and have the wisdom of Your Holy Word to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. In the power of the Holy Spirit. May God's will be done always and forever. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.

The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. 3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. 5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. —Jeremiah 10:1-6 (KJV)
