Prayer based on Jeremiah 43

O Lord of Hosts, against our holiest impulses and the plain teaching of Your Word, we have been forced to walk a dangerous path that is against Your will. Please clear us of this sin. As You know us Lord, this was not our choice. Powerful men who usurp authority among Your people have forced our hands in ways that are wrong. How are we to submit to such foolish and unspiritual men? Yet we may have no choice today. Surely there are brothers and sisters who have been led away in chains into wicked situations and places. Meet us in our place of despair, and have mercy upon us. We would not willingly choose this slavery. Help us and deliver us.
