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

Adoration 1.19 | NIV

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

Lord, I do not know what I ought to pray for, but let your Spirit help me in my weakness and intercede for me. Romans 8:26(NIV)

O pour on me a spirit of grace and supplication, Zechariah 12:10(NIV) the Spirit of sonship who teaches me to cry, “Abba, Father”; Romans 8:15(NIV) that I may find in my heart to pray this prayer: Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell; to God, my joy and my delight. Psalm 43:3-4(NIV)

O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. Psalm 51:15(NIV)

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

This is what you, O Lord, spoke of: that among those who approach you, you will show yourself holy; in the sight of all the people you will be honored. Leviticus 10:3(NIV) I therefore worship before you, O Lord, that I may bring glory to your name; Psalm 86:9(NIV) and therefore I call on you, that you may deliver me, and I may honor you. Psalm 50:15(NIV)

For from you and through you and to you are all things. Romans 11:36(NIV)

Entreat God’s Favorable Acceptance

Adoration 1.18 | NIV

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

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

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

O LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness come to my relief, Psalm 143:1(NIV) and be near me whenever I 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 me, for if you remain silent, I will be like those who have gone down to the pit. Psalm 28:1(NIV)

May my prayer be set before you like incense, and the lifting up of my 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 | NIV

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 put to shame; Psalm 31:1(NIV) indeed, no one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame. Psalm 25:3(NIV)

My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation. Psalm 62:1-2(NIV) My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock and my refuge; my hope comes from him. Psalm 62:5-7(NIV)

When I have no refuge, and no one cares for my life, I cry to you, O LORD, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.” Psalm 142:4-5(NIV)

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but I trust in the name of the LORD my God. Psalm 20:7(NIV) I will trust in your unfailing love, O God, forever and ever, and in your name I will hope, for it is good. Psalm 52:8-9(NIV)

I have put my hope in your word; Psalm 119:81(NIV) O remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope. Psalm 119:49(NIV)
