Beg for the Spirit’s Assistance in Prayer and Aim for God’s Glory

Adoration 1.19 | NASB

I must beg for the powerful assistance and influence of the blessed Spirit of grace in my prayers.

Lord, I do not know how to pray as I should, but let Your Spirit help my weaknesses and make intercession for me. Romans 8:26(NASB)

O pour out on me the Spirit of grace and of supplication, Zechariah 12:10(NASB) the Spirit of adoption teaching me to cry, “Abba, Father”; Romans 8:15(NASB) that I may find in my heart to pray this prayer: O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me; let them bring me to Your holy hill and to Your dwelling places, to God my exceeding joy. Psalm 43:3-4(NASB)

O Lord, open my lips, that my mouth may declare Your praise. Psalm 51:15(NASB)

I must make the glory of God my highest end in all my prayers.

This is what You, O LORD, have said: that by those who come near You, You will be treated as holy, and before all the people You will be honored; Leviticus 10:3(NASB) I therefore worship before You, O Lord, that I may glorify Your name; Psalm 86:9(NASB) and therefore I call on You, that You may rescue me, and I may honor You. Psalm 50:15(NASB)

For from You and through You and to You are all things. Romans 11:36(NASB)

Entreat God’s Favorable Acceptance

Adoration 1.18 | NASB

I must entreat God’s favorable acceptance of me and my poor performances.

Many are asking, “Who can show us any good?” But this we say, “Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD,” and that shall fill our hearts with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. Psalm 4:6-7(NIV)

We have sought your face with all our heart, Psalm 119:58(NIV) for in this we labor, that whether at home in the body or away from it, we may please the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:9(NIV)

O LORD, hear our prayer, listen to our cry for mercy; in your faithfulness come to our relief, Psalm 143:1(NIV) and be near us whenever we pray to you; Deuteronomy 4:7(NIV) for you have not said to Jacob’s descendants, “Seek me in vain.” Isaiah 45:19(NIV)

You who hear the young ravens when they call, Psalm 147:9(NIV) do not turn a deaf ear to us, for if you remain silent, we will be like those who have gone down to the pit. Psalm 28:1(NIV)

May our prayer be set before you like incense, and the lifting up of our hands be acceptable in your sight like the evening sacrifice. Psalm 141:2(NIV)

Profess your Believing Hope and Confidence in God

Adoration 1.17 | NASB

I must likewise profess my believing hope and confidence in God and His all-sufficiency, in His power, providence, and promise.

In You, O God, I have taken refuge; let me never be ashamed; Psalm 31:1(NASB) indeed, none of those who wait for You will be ashamed. Psalm 25:3(NASB)

My soul waits in silence for God only; from Him is my salvation: Psalm 62:1-2(NASB) He only is my rock and my salvation! On Him my salvation and my glory rest; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God, and my hope is from Him. Psalm 62:5-7(NASB)

When there is no escape for me, and no one cares for my soul, I cry out to You, O LORD, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.” Psalm 142:4-5(NASB)

Some boast in chariots and some in horses, but I will boast in the name of the LORD, my God. Psalm 20:7(NASB) I will trust in Your lovingkindness, O God, forever and ever, and will wait on Your name, for it is good, in the presence of Your godly ones. Psalm 52:8-9(NASB)

I have waited for Your word; Psalm 119:81(NASB) O remember Your word to Your servant, in which You have made me hope. Psalm 119:49(NASB)
