Commend Yourself to the Grace of God

Conclusion 6.3 | NASB

I may then recommend myself to the conduct, protection, and government of the divine grace, in the further services that lie before me and in the whole course of my life.

And now, let me be enabled to go from strength to strength, until I appear before God in Zion; and while I pass through the valley of Baca, let it be made a spring, and let the rain of divine grace cover it with blessings. Psalm 84:6-7(NASB)

Now speak, LORD, for Your servant is listening. 1 Samuel 3:9(NASB) What has my Lord to say to His servant? Joshua 5:14(NASB) Grant that I may not turn away my ear from listening to the law, for then my prayers would be an abomination; Proverbs 28:9(NASB) but may I listen to God, that He may listen to me. Judges 9:7(NASB)

And now, may the LORD my God be with me, as He was with my fathers in the faith; may He not leave me or forsake me, that He may incline my heart to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances. 1 Kings 8:57-58(NASB) And let my heart be wholly devoted to the LORD my God all my days, 1 Kings 8:61(NASB) and continue so till the end; that then I may enter into rest and may rise again for my allotted portion, and let it be a blessed portion at the end of the days. Daniel 12:13(NASB)

Beg for the Forgiveness of What has been Amiss in your Prayers

Conclusion 6.2 | NASB

I may then beg for the forgiveness of what has been amiss in my prayers.

Lord, I have not prayed as I should: Romans 8:26(NASB) who is there who continually does good and never sins? Ecclesiastes 7:20(NASB) Even when I want to do good, evil is present in me, Romans 7:21(NASB) and if the willing is present in me, yet the doing of the good is not: For the good that I want, I do not do; Romans 7:18-19(NASB) so that You might justly refuse to listen, even though I multiply prayers. Isaiah 1:15(NASB) But I have a great High Priest, who takes away the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel consecrate, with regard to all their holy gifts; Exodus 28:38(NASB) for his sake, take away all that iniquity from all your people, even all the iniquity of my holy things, and receive me graciously, Hosea 14:2(NASB) and love me freely, Hosea 14:4(NASB) and do not do with me according to my folly. Job 42:8(NASB)

Beg for the Acceptance of your Prayers for Christ’s Sake

Conclusion 6.1 | NASB

I may then beg for the audience and acceptance of my poor weak prayers for Christ’s sake.

Now may the God of Israel grant my petitions that I have asked of Him. 1 Samuel 1:17(NASB)

Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14(NASB)

Let Your eyes be open to the supplication of Your servant and to the supplication of Your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they call to You, for they are Your people and Your inheritance. 1 Kings 8:51-52(NASB)

O my God, let Your ears be attentive to the prayers that I have offered: 2 Chronicles 6:40(NASB) O do not turn away the face of Your Anointed; remember Your lovingkindness to Your servant David, 2 Chronicles 6:42(NASB) even Jesus, who is at Your right hand interceding for me. Romans 8:34(NASB)

Lord, You have assured me that whatever I ask the Father in Christ’s name, You will give it to me. John 16:23(NASB) I ask all these things in that name, that powerful name which is above every name; Philippians 2:9(NASB) that precious name which is like purified oil. Song of Solomon 1:3(NASB) O make Your face to shine on me, Numbers 6:25(NASB) for the Lord’s sake, Daniel 9:17(NASB) who is the Son of Your love, Matthew 17:5(NASB) and whom You always hear. John 11:42(NASB) Good Lord, enable me to listen to Him, and be well-pleased with me in Him. Matthew 17:5(NASB)
