2. We may then beg for the audience and acceptance of our poor weak prayers for Christ’s sake.

Now the God of Israel grant us the things we have requested of him. 1 Sam 1:17.

Let the words of our mouths, and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, our strength and our Redeemer. Ps 19:14.

Let thine eyes be open unto the supplication of thy servants, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call unto thee for; for they be thy people, and thine inheritance. 1 Kgs 8:51, 52.

O our God, let thine ears be attent unto the prayers that we have made. O turn not away the face of thine anointed; remember the mercies of David thy servant; even Jesus, who is at thy right hand making intercession for us. 2 Chr 6:40, 42.

Lord, thou hast assured us, that whatever we ask the Father in Christ’s name, he will give it us. We ask all these things in that name, that powerful name which is above every name, that precious name which is as ointment poured forth. O make thy face to shine upon us for the Lord’s sake, who is the Son of thy love, and whom thou hearest always; good Lord, give us to hear him, and be well pleased with us in him. John 16:23. Phil 2:9. Song 1:3. Dan 9:17. John 11:42. Matt 17:5.

‹ We may then sum up our requests in some comprehensive… · We may then beg for the forgiveness of what has been amiss… ›

Pray now: a guided prayer in six parts, with the next heads each day.
