Introduction and Exhortation to Pray for the Whole Lost World of Mankind

Intercession 5.0 | NASB

The Lord Jesus has taught us to pray, not only with, but for others; and the apostle has appointed us to make supplication for all the saints, Ephesians 6:18(NASB) and many of his prayers in his epistles are for his friends. And we must not think that when we are in this part of prayer, we may let fall our fervency and be more indifferent because we ourselves are not immediately concerned in it; but rather, let a holy fire of love, both to God and man, here make our devotion yet more warm and lively.

We must pray for the whole world of mankind, the lost world; and thus, we must honor everyone, 1 Peter 2:17(NASB) and, according to our capacity, do good to everyone. Galatians 6:10(NASB)

I pray, as I am taught, for all men, believing that this is good and acceptable in the sight of God my Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth and of Jesus Christ, 1 Timothy 2:3-4(NASB) who gave Himself as a ransom for all. 1 Timothy 2:6(NASB)

O look with compassion upon the world that lies in the power of the evil one, 1 John 5:19(NASB) and let the ruler of this world be cast out, John 12:31(NASB) who has blinded their minds. 2 Corinthians 4:4(NASB)

O let Your way be known on the earth, Psalm 67:2(NASB) that barbarous nations may be civilized, and those who live without God in the world may be brought to the service of the living God; Ephesians 2:12(NASB) and thus, let Your salvation be known among all nations. Let the peoples praise You, O God; yes, let all the peoples praise You: O let the nations be glad and sing for joy; for You will judge the peoples with uprightness and guide the nations on the earth. Psalm 67:2-4(NASB)

O let Your salvation and Your righteousness be revealed in the sight of the nations, and let all the ends of the earth see the salvation of God. Psalm 98:2-3(NASB)

O give Your Son the nations as His inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as His possession; Psalm 2:8(NASB) for You have said, “It is too small a thing for Him to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved ones of Israel”; but You will make Him a light of the nations. Isaiah 49:6(NASB)

Let the kingdoms of the world become the kingdom of the Lord and of His Christ. Revelation 11:15(NASB)

Thank God for the Performance of His Promises

Thanksgiving 4.41 | NASB

For the performance of God’s promises.

You have dealt well with Your servant, O LORD, according to Your word, Psalm 119:65(NASB) and You have been ever mindful of Your covenant, the word which You have commanded to a thousand generations. Psalm 105:8(NASB)

Not one word has failed of all Your good promise, 1 Kings 8:56(NASB) which You have promised to David Your servant and to Israel Your people. 1 Kings 8:66(NASB)

And now, what shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits toward me? Psalm 116:12 (NASB) Let my soul return to Him and repose in Him as its rest, because He has dealt bountifully with me: Psalm 116:7(NASB) I will lift up the cup of my salvation and call upon the name of the LORD; Psalm 116:13(NASB) for the LORD is good, His lovingkindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to all generations. Psalm 100:5(NASB)

I will bless the LORD at all times; yes, His praise shall continually be in my mouth; Psalm 34:1(NASB) I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; Psalm 104:33(NASB) and I hope to be shortly with those blessed ones who dwell in His house above and are still praising Him and who day and night do not cease to say, “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY.” Revelation 4:8(NASB)

Thank God for Support Under your Afflictions

Thanksgiving 4.40 | NASB

For support under my afflictions, and spiritual benefit and advantage by them.

You have comforted me in all my affliction, 2 Corinthians 1:4(NASB) have seen my affliction and known the troubles of my soul; Psalm 31:7(NASB) You have made marvelous Your steadfast love to me when I was in a besieged city. Psalm 31:21(NASB)

When afflictions have abounded, comforts have much more abounded. 2 Corinthians 1:5(NASB)

Though all discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it has yielded the peaceful fruit of righteousness, and has proved to be for my good, so that I might share Your holiness. Hebrews 12:10-11(NASB)

I have had reason to say that it was good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn Your statutes; Psalm 119:71(NASB) for before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your word. Psalm 119:67(NASB)

It has been but for a little while, and when it was necessary, that I was distressed by various trials; and I beg that all the trials of my faith may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ, Whom, though I have not seen, I love; though I do not see Him now, yet I believe in Him and greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, and am longing to obtain the outcome of my faith, the salvation of my soul. 1 Peter 1:6-9(NASB)
