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)

Introduction and Comprehensive Petitions

Conclusion 6.0 | NASB

Of the Conclusion of My Prayers

I am commanded to pray always, Luke 21:36(NASB) to pray continually, 1 Thessalonians 5:17(NASB) to devote myself to prayer, Colossians 4:2(NASB) 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(NASB) I must therefore think of concluding. The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, must be ended. Psalm 72:20(NASB) 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, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus the Lord, equip me in every good thing to do His will, working in me that which is pleasing in His sight, through Christ Jesus. Hebrews 13:20-21(NASB)

Now may the Lord direct my heart into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ. 2 Thessalonians 3:5(NASB)

And the God of all grace, who has called me to His eternal glory in Christ, after I have suffered for a little while, perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish me. 1 Peter 5:10(NASB)

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

Do for me far more abundantly beyond all that I am able to ask or think, according to the power that works within me: Ephesians 3:20(NASB) and supply all my needs according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19(NASB)

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

Intercession 5.20 | NASB

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

Lord, keep those who are rich in this present world from being conceited and fixing their hope on the uncertainty of riches, and give them to trust in God, who richly supplies everyone with all things to enjoy: That they may do good and be rich in good works, generous and ready to share; that they may store up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future. 1 Timothy 6:17-19(NASB)

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

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

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

O that the afflicted of the flock may wait upon You and may know the word of the LORD. Zechariah 11:11(NASB)

Many are the afflictions of the righteous; good Lord, deliver them out of them all. Psalm 34:19(NASB) And though no affliction for the moment seems to be joyful, but sorrowful; nevertheless, afterwards let it yield the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11(NASB)

For my enemies and those who hate me.

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

Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing; Luke 23:34(NASB) and do not hold their malice against them; Acts 7:60(NASB) and work in me a disposition to bear with others and forgive in love, Colossians 3:13(NASB) as You require I should whenever I pray. Mark 11:25(NASB)

And grant that my ways may be so pleasing to the LORD, that even my enemies may be at peace with me. Proverbs 16:7(NASB)

Let the wolf and the lamb lie down together, Isaiah 11:6(NASB) and let there be none to hurt or destroy in all Your holy mountain; Isaiah 11:9(NASB) let not Ephraim be jealous of Judah, nor Judah harass Ephraim. Isaiah 11:13(NASB)

For my friends and those who love me.

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

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