Habkkuk (Prayers)

Habkkuk
O LORD, how long shall I cry for help,and you will not hear?Or cry to you "Violence!"and you will not save? Why do you make me see iniquity,and why do you idly look at wrong?Destruction and violence are before me;strife and contention arise.So the law is paralyzed,and justice never goes forth.For the wicked surround the righteous;so justice goes forth perverted.
The LORD’s Answer "Look among the nations, and see;wonder and be astounded.For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told."

"Oh Father we cry to thee do you hear our crys? Do we not hear the voices the crys of the babies being killed today? Oh Father open our ears that we can hear. that we will be a people who call out for justice. Don't let us be still and unknow with our crys. Let us stand up and fight for those being killed everyday, by our prayers. Let us fight for lives. Let us your people your children cry day and night that you will save them. Let our heart sink in pain as we think about them. Life brun it on ou hearts. Life may it be our song. amen"

"Are you not from everlasting,O LORD my God, my Holy One?We shall not die.O LORD, you have ordained them as a judgment,and you, O Rock, have established them for reproof. You who are of purer eyes than to see eviland cannot look at wrong,why do you idly look at traitorsand remain silent when the wicked swallows upthe man more righteous than he?
Therefore he sacrifices to his netand makes offerings to his dragnet;for by them he lives in luxury,and his food is rich.Is he then to keep on emptying his netand mercilessly killing nations forever?"

" Oh Father can we remain silent, for those who kill a child for there own luxury and comfort"

"I will take my stand at my watchpostand station myself on the tower,and look out to see what he will say to me,and what I will answer concerning my complaint For still the vision awaits its appointed time;it hastens to the end—it will not lie.If it seems slow, wait for it;it will surely come; it will not delay. "Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,but the righteous shall live by his faith. "

" Jesus whom will satnd and wait? Whom wait until you give answer? Give your people the desire the endurnce to wait for you. amen"

Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house,to set his nest on high,to be safe from the reach of harm!10You have devised shame for your houseby cutting off many peoples;you have forfeited your life.
"Woe to him who builds a town with bloodand founds a city on iniquity!13Behold, is it not from the LORD of hoststhat peoples labor merely for fire,and nations weary themselves for nothing?14 For the earth will be filledwith the knowledge of the glory of the LORDas the waters cover the sea.
15 "Woe to him who makes his neighbors drink—you pour out your wrath and make them drunk,in order to gaze at their nakedness!

Oh Father let hears these Woes and listen and pray about them.. hear our hearts, change our hearts to feel as you do my great King"

"What profit is an idol when its maker has shaped it,a metal image, a teacher of lies?For its maker trusts in his own creationwhen he makes speechless idols!19 Woe to him who says to a wooden thing, Awake;to a silent stone, Arise!Can this teach?Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,and there is no breath at all in it.But the LORD is in his holy temple;let all the earth keep silence before him."
" Oh Father show us your people how worthless idols are, show us we cry show us all of ours this day amen"

A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth.

* May may our prayer be with his...

"O LORD, I have heard the report of you,and your work, O LORD, do I fear.In the midst of the years revive it;in the midst of the years make it known;in wrath remember mercy.God came from Teman,and the Holy One from Mount Paran.His splendor covered the heavens,and the earth was full of his praise. Selah His brightness was like the light;rays flashed from his hand;and there he veiled his power. Before him went pestilence,and plague followed at his heels.6He stood and measured the earth;he looked and shook the nations;then the eternal mountains were scattered;the everlasting hills sank low.His were the everlasting ways.7I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.8 Was your wrath against the rivers, O LORD?Was your anger against the rivers,or your indignation against the sea,when you rode on your horses,on your chariot of salvation?9You stripped the sheath from your bow,calling for many arrows. SelahYou split the earth with rivers.10 The mountains saw you and writhed;the raging waters swept on;the deep gave forth its voice;it lifted its hands on high.11 The sun and moon stood still in their placeat the light of your arrows as they sped,at the flash of your glittering spear.12 You marched through the earth in fury;you threshed the nations in anger.13 You went out for the salvation of your people,for the salvation of your anointed.You crushed the head of the house of the wicked,laying him bare from thigh to neck. Selah14You pierced with his own arrows the heads of his warriors,who came like a whirlwind to scatter me,rejoicing as if to devour the poor in secret.15 You trampled the sea with your horses,the surging of mighty waters. I hear, and my body trembles;my lips quiver at the sound;rottenness enters into my bones;my legs tremble beneath me.Yet I will quietly wait for the day of troubleto come upon people who invade Though the fig tree should not blossom,nor fruit be on the vines,the produce of the olive failand the fields yield no food,the flock be cut off from the foldand there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD;I will take joy in the God of my salvation.GOD, the Lord, is my strength;he makes my feet like the deer’s;he makes me tread on my high places"
