Commend Yourself to the Grace of God

Conclusion 6.3 | NIV

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, may I be enabled to go from strength to strength, till I appear before God in Zion; and as I pass through the valley of Baca, may it be made a place of springs, and may the rain of the divine grace and blessing cover it with pools. Psalm 84:6-7(NIV)

Now speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. 1 Samuel 3:9(NIV) What message does my Lord have for his servant? Joshua 5:14(NIV) Grant that I may not turn a deaf ear to the law, for then my prayers would be detestable; Proverbs 28:9(NIV) but may I listen to God, so that he may listen to me. Judges 9:7(NIV)

And now, may the LORD my God be with me as he was with all my fathers in the faith; may he never leave me nor forsake me. May he turn my heart to himself, to walk in all his ways and to keep his commands, decrees, and regulations. 1 Kings 8:57-58(NIV) And may my heart be fully committed to the LORD my God all my days, 1 Kings 8:61(NIV) and continue so till the end; that then I may rest, and then at the end of the days may I rise to receive my allotted inheritance. Daniel 12:13(NIV)

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

Conclusion 6.2 | NIV

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

Lord, I have not prayed as I ought: Romans 8:26(NIV) who is there who does what is right and never sins? Ecclesiastes 7:20(NIV) Even when I want to do good, evil is right there with me, Romans 7:21(NIV) for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out: For the good I want to do is not what I do; Romans 7:18-19(NIV) so that you might justly refuse to listen, even if I offer many prayers. Isaiah 1:15(NIV) But I have a great High Priest, who bears the guilt involved in the sacred gifts the Israelites consecrate, whatever their gifts may be; Exodus 28:38(NIV) for his sake, forgive all the sin and guilt of your people, even all the guilt of my sacred gifts, and receive me graciously, Hosea 14:2(NIV) and love me freely, Hosea 14:4(NIV) and do not deal with me according to my folly. Job 42:8(NIV)

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

Conclusion 6.1 | NIV

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 me what I have asked of him. 1 Samuel 1:17(NIV)

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14(NIV)

May your eyes be open to your servant’s plea and to the plea of your people Israel, and may you listen to them whenever they cry out to you, for they are your people and your inheritance. 1 Kings 8:51-52(NIV)

O my God, may your ears be attentive to the prayers that I have offered: 2 Chronicles 6:40(NIV) O do not reject your anointed One; remember the great love promised to David your servant, 2 Chronicles 6:42(NIV) even Jesus, who is at your right hand and is also interceding for me. Romans 8:34(NIV)

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