Ezra’s Prayer

In this episode, we will experience and also learn about Ezra and his prayer. Ezra is known as an Old Testament Scribe and Priest, he leads a group of Jewish exiles from Babylon back home to Jerusalem. Ezra stood in prayer for the people of Israel and through his prayer of confession and in his prayer of confession the need for the people’s reconciliation with God became magnified. Their sins, evil and wicked ways and their inter-marriages leads us to Ezra’s prayer. God used Ezra as Scribe and Priest to aid the people in their reconciliation with God. As we take courage in prayer Ezra reminds us through prayer that we must have a sincere diligence when praying and confessing, a sincere diligence in our penitence, weeping and laying face down before the Lord, as we seek reconciliation with God.
