May 27 Warriors, before you offer the sweet smell of tobacco and sage, humble yourself before Creator Yahweh. Before you offer him the sacrifice of dancing your prayers, open your hearts before him. Let your hearts be broken with a river of sorrow because of the offenses we have committed against our Great Chief and Captain, for they are many. A broken and contrite heart he will not turn away.

Create in us a pure heart, O Creator Yahweh! Renew a steadfast spirit within our people and let us walk in the way of beauty. Do not cast our people away from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from us. Restore to us the joy of your salvation and renew a right spirit within our tribes and nations. Let our tongues sing of your righteousness. Open our lips to declare your glorious praise!

May 26 water Creator Yahweh always begins his work with broken hearts, people who will cry out to him for mercy according to his unfailing love; people who will call out upon his great compassion to blot out all their wrong doings and cleanse them from all their evil ways.

Warriors, do not try to hide bloodguilt from Creator Yahweh. If you have done wrong, tell him so, for he desires truth in the secret places. If you ask, he will teach you truth in the inner rooms where no one else sees. Let him cleanse you with hyssop and sage so that you will be clean as falling water, let him wash you with his own blood so that you will be whiter than snow. This is a good way of beginning to walk in beauty.

May 25 water May Creator Yahweh bless the land of your people with the precious dew from heaven above and with the deep waters that lie below; with the best the sun brings forth and finest the moon can yield; with the choicest gifts of the ancient mountains and the fruitfulness of the everlasting hills; with the best gifts of the earth and its fullness and the favor of him who dwelt in the burning bush. Let all these rest on the head of you and your people as the beloved of Creator Yahweh who rest secure between his shoulders. Creator Yahweh shields you all day long.

May 24 There is no one like Creator Yahweh, who rides on the heavens to help you. See his majesty as he rides on the clouds in his glory! He is the eternal Spirit, our refuge. And underneath are the everlasting arms that hold us up.

He will drive out your enemies before you, so you and your people will live in safety near falling water where the heavens drop dew. You will have no lack of any good thing.

Who is like you, a people saved by Yeshua? He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword. With a mighty bow and arrow he will scatter your enemies so that they cower before you, and you will trample them beneath your feet. Give praise to Creator Yahweh, our Great Chief and Captain. Yahweh. Yahweh. Yahweh. What he has promised he will make happen, and not a day too late.

May 23 Warrior, do not cower in fear when confronting your enemy. Creator Yahweh will gird you with strength so that you will pursue your enemies and crush them. You will beat them as fine dust beneath your feet. You will trample them like mud in the streets. For your enemies are not flesh and blood, but the principalities and powers of the dark world. They will lose heart and come trembling before you from their strongholds.

Creator Yahweh lives! Praise be to our Rock! Exalted be Creator, the Rock, our Savior! He is the God who avenges our people and sets us free from our enemies. Lift up shouts of joy and dance before our Great Chief who goes before us in battle.

May 22 Creator Yahweh is the lamp that turns your darkest hours into glorious light. His way is perfect and his word carries no flaw. He is the rock on which our feet stand. He arms you with strength and shows you how to walk in beauty. Whether leading through stormy, dark, forests of threatening wilderness or across wooded valleys teaming with life, his way is always perfect. For he takes what the enemy means for harm in our lives and uses it for good.

Who is Yahweh besides Creator? It is Creator Yahweh who arms you with strength and makes your way perfect. Let him broaden the pathway before you so that your ankles do not turn.

May 21 water Child, do you know that Creator Yahweh takes delight in you? See! Even now, he rides upon the wings of the wind to come to your rescue. His voice thunders from heaven as he sends out arrows to scatter your enemies. He created you just as you are. He does not ask you to conform to another’s idea of how you should walk. He has already set a path before you and equips you with everything you need to walk it.

Take joy in his delight over you. Break out in song when he delivers you from your enemy, from those who hated you, the ones who were too strong for you. He is your shield. Trust and take refuge in him.

May 19 water Warriors, there is a time, when your enemies are closing in behind you, that you must stop. This is a most difficult thing to do, because every fiber of your being will shout for you to move. This is a time to listen closely to Spirit talk; a time for needed rest and refreshment; a time to sharpen your tools and encourage your soul; a time to listen for Creator Yahweh’s voice.

It is in times like these that stopping will actually haste your escape. Do not move until you hear Creator Yahweh’s command. Then quickly do whatever he tells you to do. He will reach down from on high and take hold of you. He will draw you out of deep waters.

May 18 Number your days rightly and you will gain a heart of wisdom, for our days are like grass, springing up in the morning when the sun pours life into us, but by evening we are dry and withered. What can we give to Creator Yahweh? What can we do that will make a difference to him? A thousand years in his sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. With one sweep of his mighty hand our lives are wiped away and returned to dust

Yet he withholds that sweeping hand for a season and calls us by name and separates us to be his children forever; children born not of human desire but born of Spirit and water. He provides himself as our dwelling place and shelters us beneath his great wings. Before the mountains were born, he was there. Before he called forth the earth and the world, he was there. From everlasting to everlasting Creator Yahweh is God.
