ESV First Person Method for Prayer

Address God with Reverence and Awe

Adoration 1.1 | ESV

Having thus engaged our hearts to approach God. Jeremiah 30:21(ESV)

We must solemnly address ourselves to that infinitely great and glorious Being with whom we have to do, as those who are possessed with a full belief of his presence and a holy awe and reverence of his Majesty, which we may do in such expressions as these:

Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come! Revelation 4:8(ESV)

O you whose name is the LORD, who alone are the Most High over all the earth. Psalm 83:18(ESV)

O God, you are our God, earnestly we seek you; Psalm 63:1(ESV) our God, and we will praise you; our fathers’ God, and we will exalt you. Exodus 15:2(ESV)

O you who are the true God, the living God, the one only living and true God, 1 Thessalonians 1:9(ESV) and the everlasting King! Jeremiah 10:10(ESV) The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Deuteronomy 6:4(ESV)

And may we thus distinguish ourselves from the worshipers of false gods.

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, they are vanity and a lie, the work of human hands; Psalm 115:4(ESV) those who make them become like them, so do all who trust in them. Psalm 115:8(ESV) But the Portion of Jacob is not like these, for he is the one who formed all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; the LORD of hosts is his name, Jeremiah 10:16(ESV) God over all, blessed forever. Romans 9:5(ESV)

Their rock is not as our Rock; our enemies are by themselves, Deuteronomy 32:31(ESV) for he is the Rock of ages; the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock: Isaiah 26:4(ESV) His name endures forever, and his renown throughout all ages, Psalm 135:13(ESV) even when the gods who did not make the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.

Address God with Reverence and Awe

Adoration 1.1 | NIV

Having thus engaged my heart to approach God. Jeremiah 30:21(NIV)

I must solemnly address myself to that infinitely great and glorious Being with whom I have to do, as one who is possessed with a full belief of his presence and a holy awe and reverence of his Majesty, which may be done in such expressions as these:

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come! Revelation 4:8(NIV)

O you whose name is the LORD, who alone are the Most High over all the earth! Psalm 83:18(NIV)

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; Psalm 63:1(NIV) my God, and I will praise you; my father’s God, and I will exalt you. Exodus 15:2(NIV)

O you who are the true God, the living God, the one only living and true God, 1 Thessalonians 1:9(NIV) and the eternal King! Jeremiah 10:10(NIV) With your redeemed people I confess your great name: “The LORD our God, the LORD is one.” Deuteronomy 6:4(NIV)

And may I thus distinguish myself from the worshipers of false gods.

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, they are vanity and a lie, made by the hands of men; Psalm 115:4(NIV) those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them. Psalm 115:8(NIV) But he who is the Portion of Jacob is not like these, for he is the Maker of all things, including Israel, the tribe of his inheritance; the LORD Almighty is his name, Jeremiah 10:16(NIV) God over all, forever praised. Romans 9:5(NIV)

Their rock is not like my Rock, as even your people’s enemies concede; Deuteronomy 32:31(NIV) for he is the Rock of ages, the LORD, the LORD is the Rock eternal: Isaiah 26:4(NIV) His name endures forever, and his renown through all generations, Psalm 135:13(NIV) when the gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, will perish from the earth and from under the heavens. Jeremiah 10:11(NIV)
