But we prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet this threat.

But we prayed to our God. We put guards on duty day and night to watch out for danger.

And we prayed to our God and set a guard as a protection against them day and night.

So we prayed to our God and stationed a guard because of them day and night.

But we prayed to our God, and because of them we set up a guard against them day and night.

Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and because of them we set a watch against them day and night.

But we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.

So we prayed to our God and stationed a guard because of them day and night.

Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.

So we prayed to our God and stationed a guard to protect against them both day and night.

But we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night because of them.

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

Meanwhile, our enemies were saying,“ Before they know what’s happening, we will swoop down on them and kill them and end their work.”

Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!”

“ Your name will no longer be Jacob,” the man told him.“ From now on you will be called Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have won.”

Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory.”

At this, the enemies of Jesus were wild with rage and began to discuss what to do with him.One day soon afterward Jesus went up on a mountain to pray, and he prayed to God all night.

But I will call on God, and the Lord will rescue me.Morning, noon, and night I cry out in my distress, and the Lord hears my voice.He ransoms me and keeps me safe from the battle waged against me, though many still oppose me.God, who has ruled forever, will hear me and humble them. Interlude For my enemies refuse to change their ways; they do not fear God.As for my companion, he betrayed his friends; he broke his promises.His words are as smooth as butter, but in his heart is war. His words are as soothing as lotion, but underneath are daggers!Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.

After Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers and read it, he went up to the Lord’s Temple and spread it out before the Lord.And Hezekiah prayed this prayer before the Lord:“ O Lord, God of Israel, you are enthroned between the mighty cherubim! You alone are God of all the kingdoms of the earth. You alone created the heavens and the earth.Bend down, O Lord, and listen! Open your eyes, O Lord, and see! Listen to Sennacherib’s words of defiance against the living God.“ It is true, Lord, that the kings of Assyria have destroyed all these nations.And they have thrown the gods of these nations into the fire and burned them. But of course the Assyrians could destroy them! They were not gods at all— only idols of wood and stone shaped by human hands.Now, O Lord our God, rescue us from his power; then all the kingdoms of the earth will know that you alone, O Lord, are God.”

When they heard the report, all the believers lifted their voices together in prayer to God:“ O Sovereign Lord, Creator of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them—you spoke long ago by the Holy Spirit through our ancestor David, your servant, saying,‘ Why were the nations so angry? Why did they waste their time with futile plans?The kings of the earth prepared for battle; the rulers gathered together against the Lord and against his Messiah.’“ In fact, this has happened here in this very city! For Herod Antipas, Pontius Pilate the governor, the Gentiles, and the people of Israel were all united against Jesus, your holy servant, whom you anointed.But everything they did was determined beforehand according to your will.And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word.Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man.”

Then Jacob prayed,“ O God of my grandfather Abraham, and God of my father, Isaac— O Lord, you told me,‘ Return to your own land and to your relatives.’ And you promised me,‘ I will treat you kindly.’I am not worthy of all the unfailing love and faithfulness you have shown to me, your servant. When I left home and crossed the Jordan River, I owned nothing except a walking stick. Now my household fills two large camps!O Lord, please rescue me from the hand of my brother, Esau. I am afraid that he is coming to attack me, along with my wives and children.But you promised me,‘ I will surely treat you kindly, and I will multiply your descendants until they become as numerous as the sands along the seashore— too many to count.’”
