Meditation on Jehovah

Jehovah-Jireh “The Lord will provide a sacrifice” Gen 22:13

Thank you, Lord, for Calvary.  Thank you for dying in my place.  Thank you for paying the price for all that I owed.  I worship you, Lamb of God. 

Thank you, Father, for always making provision for me.  Thank you for sending your son to be the ultimate sacrifice for my sin and paving the path to eternal life.

Jehovah-Rapha “The Lord that healeth thee”  Ex 15:26

Healing is in you alone.  I worship you, Creator God.  You made me.  You know every cell of my structure.  Father, heal me completely.  As I wait in your presence – let your healing virtue saturate me and correct every ailment.  Deliver me from this pain and misery.  Cause this flesh to line up with your perfect design.  Help me to be so close to you that your perfection is manifested in my flesh.  Heal me.  I claim all the privileges of the atonement, in Jesus’ name.

Jehovah-Shammah “The Lord is present”  Ezek 48:35

Help me, Lord, to understand the mystery of your ability to be present everywhere at once.  You are so far above what I comprehend.  Lord, I want to know you on that level.  Lord, I want to have a fuller understanding of who you are and where you walk.  Show me your ways, o Lord, teach me your paths.  Lead me in your truth and teach me.  You are the God of my salvation on you I will wait all the day (ps 25)  Lord, I want to walk with you like Adam and Eve did in the garden.  To see you as you are and understand your ways.  Take me there, Lord.  I feel so tethered to this realm of limits and painful realities.  Set me free. 

Jehovah-Shalom “The Lord our peace” Judges 6:24

Fill me with your peace, Father.  Fill me with you.  Give me that peace that goes beyond understanding.  Lord, let your peace be the hallmark and icon of my life.  Lord, let the peace within me be so deep and rich that my children and grandchildren will drink from it as a refreshing well.  Let peace fill me and radiate out from me to effect every person and situation I come in contact with.  Jehovah-Shalom, live within me and absorb me into your everlasting life.

Jehovah-Nissi “The Lord our banner”  Ex 17:8,15

Cause me to walk in paths of righteousness for your name’s sake.  May the banner of “Christian” that is planted by my life never be put to shame by my behavior or choices. 

Help me to follow your banner into the battles before us.  Where you lead I will follow.  Thank you for the victories past, present and future.  Thank you for leading and fighting for us. 

Jehovah-Raah “The Lord my Shepherd”  Psalm 23

Your tender care nourishes me and shelters me.  I worship you, my shepherd.  You are the Divine Caregiver.  I submit to your care, O Shepherd of my soul. 

Jehovah-Tsidkenu “The Lord our righteousness”  Jeremiah 23:6

I am so grateful that righteousness doesn’t depend on me.  Thank you for erasing my sins, correcting my iniquities, strengthening my weaknesses and filling the void with your righteous perfection.  I stand complete and justified in you.  I worship you.  You are my God, and I receive you and surrender to every change that you desire to make in me. 

Lord, deepen my meditations.  Change me to be more like you.  Come, Holy Spirit.  Fill all of me.  I desire you more than anything.
