Isaiah 64

64Why don't you tear the sky open and come down? The mountains would see you and shake with fear.H3863H7167H8064H3381H2022H2151H64402They would tremble like water boiling over a hot fire. Come and reveal your power to your enemies, and make the nations tremble at your presence!H2003H784H6919H784H4325H1158H8034H3045H6862H1471H7264H64403There was a time when you came and did terrifying things that we did not expect; the mountains saw you and shook with fear.H6213H3372H6960H3381H2022H2151H64404No one has ever seen or heard of a God like you, who does such deeds for those who put their hope in him.H5769H8085H238H5869H7200H430H2108H6213H24425You welcome those who find joy in doing what is right, those who remember how you want them to live. You were angry with us, but we went on sinning; in spite of your great anger we have continued to do wrong since ancient times.H6293H7797H6213H6664H2142H1870H7107H2398H5769H34676All of us have been sinful; even our best actions are filthy through and through. Because of our sins we are like leaves that wither and are blown away by the wind.H2931H6666H5708H899H5034H1101H5929H5771H7307H53757No one turns to you in prayer; no one goes to you for help. You have hidden yourself from us and have abandoned us because of our sins.H7121H8034H5782H2388H5641H6440H4127H3027H57718But you are our father, LORD. We are like clay, and you are like the potter. You created us,H3068H1H2563H3335H4639H30279so do not be too angry with us or hold our sins against us forever. We are your people; be merciful to us.H7107H3966H3068H2142H5771H5703H5027H597110Your sacred cities are like a desert; Jerusalem is a deserted ruin,H6944H5892H4057H6726H4057H3389H807711and our Temple, the sacred and beautiful place where our ancestors praised you, has been destroyed by fire. All the places we loved are in ruins.H6944H8597H1004H1H1984H8316H784H4261H272312LORD, are you unmoved by all this? Are you going to do nothing and make us suffer more than we can endure?H662H3068H2814H6031H3966

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
