Introduction and Comprehensive Petitions

Conclusion 6.0 | KJV

Of the Conclusion of My Prayers

I am commanded to pray always, Luke 21:36(KJV) to pray continually, 1 Thessalonians 5:17(KJV) to devote myself to prayer, Colossians 4:2(KJV) because I must always have in myself a disposition to the duty, must be constant in it, and never grow weary of it or give it up; and yet, I cannot be always praying, I must come down from this mount. Nor may I be over long, so as to make the duty a task or toil to myself or those who join with me. I have other work that calls for my attendance. Jacob wrestles with the angel, but he must go for the day breaks. Genesis 32:24(KJV) I must therefore think of concluding. The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, must be ended. Psalm 72:20(KJV) But how shall I conclude so as to have the impressions of the duty kept always in the imagination of the thought of my heart?

I may then sum up my requests in some comprehensive petitions, as the conclusion of the whole matter.

Now the God of peace that brought again from the dead the Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make me perfect in every good work to do his will, working in me that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Christ Jesus. Hebrews 13:20-21(KJV)

Now the Lord direct my heart into the love of God and into a patient waiting for Christ. 2 Thessalonians 3:5(KJV)

And the God of all grace, who hath called me to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that I have suffered a while, make me perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle me. 1 Peter 5:10(KJV)

And now, Lord, what do I wait for? Truly my hope is even in thee; Psalm 39:7(KJV) and on thee do I depend to be to me a God all-sufficient. Genesis 17:1(KJV)

Do for me exceeding abundantly above what I am able to ask or think, according to the power that worketh in me: Ephesians 3:20(KJV) and supply all my needs according to thy riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19(KJV)

Pray for the Rich and the Poor, your Enemies and your Friends

Intercession 5.20 | KJV

For those that are rich and prosperous in the world, some of whom perhaps need prayers as much as those that request them.

Lord, keep those that are rich in the world from being high-minded and trusting in uncertain riches, and give them to trust in the living God, who giveth everyone richly all things to enjoy: That they may do good and be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; that they may lay up in store for themselves a good security for the time to come. 1 Timothy 6:17-19(KJV)

Though it is hard for those that are rich to enter into the kingdom of heaven, Matthew 19:24(KJV) yet with thee this is possible. Matthew 19:26(KJV)

For those that are poor and in affliction, for such there will always be in this world.

Lord, make those that are poor in the world rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, James 2:5(KJV) and give to them to receive the gospel.

O that the poor of the flock may wait upon thee and may know the word of the Lord. Zechariah 11:11(KJV)

Many are the troubles of the righteous; good Lord, deliver them out of them all. Psalm 34:19(KJV) And though no affliction for the present seems to be joyous but grievous; nevertheless, afterward let it yield the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them that are exercised thereby. Hebrews 12:11(KJV)

For my enemies and those that hate me.

Lord, give me to love my enemies, to bless them that curse me, and to pray for them that despitefully use me and persecute me. Matthew 5:44(KJV)

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do; Luke 23:34(KJV) and lay not their malice against me to their charge; Acts 7:60(KJV) and work in me a disposition to forbear and forgive in love, Colossians 3:13(KJV) as thou requirest I should when I pray. Mark 11:25(KJV)

And grant that my ways may so please the Lord, that even my enemies may be at peace with me. Proverbs 16:7(KJV)

Let the wolf and the lamb lie down together, Isaiah 11:6(KJV) and let there be none to hurt and destroy in all thy holy mountain; Isaiah 11:9(KJV) let not Ephraim envy Judah, nor Judah vex Ephraim. Isaiah 11:13(KJV)

For my friends and those that love me.

And I wish for all those whom I love in truth, that they may prosper and be in health, especially that their souls may prosper. 3 John 1:2(KJV)

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with their spirits. Philemon 1:25(KJV)

Pray for the Young and the Old

Intercession 5.19 | KJV

For the several ages and conditions of men, as they stand in need of mercy and grace.

For those that are young and setting out in the world.

Lord, give to those that are young to remember their Creator in the days of their youth; Ecclesiastes 12:1(KJV) that thereby they may be kept from the vanity which childhood and youth are subject to, and may be restrained from walking in the way of their heart and in the sight of their eyes, by considering that for all these things God will bring them into judgment. Ecclesiastes 11:9(KJV)

Lord, make young people sober-minded; Titus 2:6(KJV) and let the word of God abide in them, that they may be strong and may overcome the wicked one. 1 John 2:14(KJV)

From the womb of the morning let Christ have the dew of thy youth; Psalm 110:3(KJV) and let him be formed in the hearts of those that are young. Galatians 4:19(KJV)

Keep those that are setting out in the world from the corruption that is in the world through lust; 2 Peter 1:4(KJV) and give to those that have been well-educated, to hold fast the form of sound words, 2 Timothy 1:13(KJV) and to continue in the things which they have learned. 2 Timothy 3:14(KJV)

For those that are old and of long standing in profession.

There are some that are old disciples of Jesus Christ; Acts 21:16(KJV) Lord, give them still to bring forth fruit in old age, to show that the Lord is upright, that he is their Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. Psalm 92:14-15(KJV)

Now the evil days are come and the years of which they say there is no pleasure in them; Ecclesiastes 12:1(KJV) let thy comforts delight their souls. Psalm 94:19(KJV)

Even to their old age be thou he, and to the hoary hairs do thou carry them thou hast made; I beseech thee bear, yea, do thou carry and deliver them. Isaiah 46:4(KJV)

Those whom thou hast taught from their youth up and have hitherto declared all thy wondrous works, now, also, when they are old and grey-headed, leave them not; Psalm 71:17-18(KJV) cast them not off in their old age; fail them not when their strength fails. Psalm 71:9(KJV)

Let every hoary head be a crown of glory to those that have it, being found in the way of righteousness, Proverbs 16:31(KJV) and give them to know whom they have believed. 2 Timothy 1:12(KJV)
