Direct

All those belonging to Jacob who came to Egypt—his direct descendants, besides the wives of Jacob’s sons—numbered sixty-six persons.

O LORD, God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, keep this desire forever in the intentions of the hearts of Your people, and direct their hearts toward You.

As for you, if you direct your heart and lift up your hands to Him,

Direct me in the path of Your commandments, for there I find delight.

…if you incline your ear to wisdom and direct your heart to understanding,

In his right hand appears the portent for Jerusalem, where he is to set up battering rams, to call for the slaughter, to lift a battle cry, to direct the battering rams against the gates, to build a ramp, and to erect a siege wall.

He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and tear down your towers with his axes.

Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.

May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
