Introduction and Exhortation to Stir Yourself Up to Praise God

Thanksgiving 4.0 | KJV

Of the Fourth Part of Prayer, which is Thanksgivings for the Mercies I have Received from God and the Many Favours of His I am Interested in and Have and Hope for Benefit by

My errand at the throne of grace is not only to seek the favour of God, but to give unto him the glory due unto his name, Psalm 29:2(KJV)  and that, not only by an awful adoration of his infinite perfections, but by a grateful acknowledgment of his goodness to me, which cannot indeed add any thing to his glory, but he is pleased to accept of it and to reckon himself glorified by it, if it comes from a heart that is humbly sensible of its own unworthiness to receive any favour from God, that values the gifts and loves the Giver of them.

I must stir up myself to praise God with the consideration both of the reason and of the encouragement I have to praise him.

I will sing unto the Lord a new song and his praise in the congregation of saints. O let Israel rejoice in him that made him, let the children of Zion be joyful in their King; Psalm 149:1-2(KJV) let the saints be joyful in glory, and let the high praises of God be in their hearts and in their mouths. Psalm 149:5-6(KJV)

While I live I will bless the Lord, and will sing praise unto my God while I have any being; Psalm 146:2(KJV) and when I have no being on earth, I hope to have a being in heaven, to be doing it better.

I am here through Jesus Christ to offer the sacrifice of praise to thee, which I desire to do continually, that is, the fruit of my lips giving thanks to thy name. Hebrews 13:15(KJV) And thou hast said that he that offers praise glorifies thee, Psalm 50:23(KJV) and that this also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock that hath horns or hoofs. Psalm 69:31(KJV)

I will mention the loving-kindness of the Lord and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on me and the great goodness towards the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them, according to his mercies and according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses. Isaiah 63:7(KJV)

Plead the Promises of God for the Enforcing of your Petitions

Petition 3.41 | KJV

I must plead the promises of God for the enforcing of all my petitions, put these promises in suit, and refer myself to them.

Lord, thou hast given me many exceeding great and precious promises, 2 Peter 1:4(KJV) which are all Yea and Amen in Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:20(KJV) Now be it unto thy servant according to the word which thou hast spoken. 2 Samuel 7:25(KJV)

Give me to draw water with joy out of these wells of salvation, Isaiah 12:3(KJV) to suck and be satisfied from those breasts of consolation; Isaiah 66:11(KJV) and now, O Lord God, let the word which thou hast spoken concerning thy servant be established for ever, and do as thou hast said. 1 Chronicles 17:23(KJV)

Deal with me according to the tenor of the everlasting covenant, which is well-ordered in all things and sure, and which is all my salvation and all my desire. 2 Samuel 23:5(KJV)

Look upon me and be merciful to me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name; Psalm 119:132(KJV) and do more for me than I am able to ask or think, Ephesians 3:20(KJV) and supply all my needs according to thy riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19(KJV)

Pray for Daily Supplies of Comfort and Support

Petition 3.40 | KJV

I must pray to be supplied with the comforts and supports I daily stand in need of.

O that the beauty of the Lord my God may be upon me; prosper thou the work of my hands upon me; yea, the work of my hands establish thou it. Psalm 90:17(KJV) Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. Psalm 118:25(KJV)

Let my sons be as plants grown up in their youth, and my daughters as corner-stones polished after the similitude of a palace. Let my garners be full, affording all manner of store; and let there be no breaking in or going out, no complaining in the streets of your people. Happy is the people that is in such a case; yea, rather, happy is the people whose God is the Lord. Psalm 144:12-15(KJV)

Let me be blessed in the city and blessed in the field; Deuteronomy 28:3(KJV) let my basket and my store be blessed; let me be blessed when I come in and when I go out. Deuteronomy 28:5-6(KJV)

Let thy good providence so order all events concerning me that they may be made to work for good to me, as thou hast promised they shall to all that love thee and are called according to thy purpose. Romans 8:28(KJV)

Give me to trust in the Lord and do good, and then I shall dwell in the land, and verily I shall be fed; Psalm 37:3(KJV) and be thou pleased to bring forth my righteousness as the light, and my judgment as the noonday. Psalm 37:6(KJV)

Let me be hid from the scourge of the tongue, and not be afraid of destruction when it cometh; Job 5:21(KJV) let me be in league with the stones of the field, and let the beasts of the field be at peace with me; let me know that my tabernacle is in peace, and let me visit my habitation and not sin. Job 5:23-24(KJV)

And if God will be with me, and will keep me in the way that I go during my pilgrimage in this world, and will give me bread to eat and raiment to put on, so that I may come to my heavenly Father’s house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God. Genesis 28:20-21(KJV)
