How To Pray... I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers,
intercessions and thanksgiving be made for everyone--for kings and all
thouse in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all
godliness and holiness. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all
kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and
always keep on praying for all the saints. Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and
thankful. Very early in the morning, while it was still dark,
Jesus got up, left the house, and went off to a solitary place, where he
paryed. About eight days after Jesus said this, he took
Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. When you pray, Say:
"Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each
day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive
everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation." Then Jesus told His disciples a parable to show
them that they should always pray and not give up. And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites,
for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street
corners to be seen by men. But when you pray, go
inot your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.
Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do
not keep babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because
of their many words. Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in
your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you
are on earth, so let your words be few. The LORD detests the sacrifice of the wiced, but
the prayer of the upright pleases him. In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the
morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. O LORD, the god who saves me, day and night I cry
out before you. May my prayer come before you; turn yhour ear to
my cry. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for
to you I pray. The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do
not know what we out to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for
us with groans that words cannot express. Answers to Prayer... The prayer of a righteous
man is powerful and effective. This is the confidence we
have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will,
he hears us. And if we know that he hears us--whatever we
ask--we know that we have what we asked of him. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that
the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will
do it. I tell you the turth, my
Father will give you whateer you ask in my name. Ask and you will
recieve, and your joy will be complete. If you then, though you
are evil, know howe to give good gifts to your children, how much more
will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him! Your Father knows what
you need before you ask him. Therefore I tell you,
whateer you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it
will be yours. Again, I tell you that
if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done
for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come
together in my name, there am I with them. If you believe, you will
receive whatever you ask for in prayer. (Psalm 34:15) The LORD will hear when I call to him. (Psalm 4:3) I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer. (Psalm 17:6) The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. (Psalm 34:17) When I called, you answered me; you made me bold and stouthearted. (Psalm 138:3) But I pray to you, O LORD, int he time of your favor; in your great lvove, O God, answer me with your sure salvation. (Psalm 69:13) Hear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. (Psalm 86:1) Those who sow in tears will reap with songs fo joy. (Psalm 126:5) I love the LOD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. (Psalm 116:1-2) May the LORD grant all your requests. (Psalm 20:5) |
