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

Conclusion 6.2 | KJV

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(KJV) who is there that does good and sins not? Ecclesiastes 7:20(KJV) Even when I would do good, evil is present with me, Romans 7:21(KJV) and if to will be present, yet how to perform that which is good, I know not: for the good that I would, I do not; Romans 7:18-19(KJV) so that thou mightest justly refuse to hear, even when I make many prayers. Isaiah 1:15(KJV) But I have a great High Priest, who bears the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow in all their holy gifts; Exodus 28:38(KJV) for his sake, take away all that iniquity from all your people, even all the iniquity of my holy things, and receive me graciously, Hosea 14:2(KJV) and love me freely, Hosea 14:4(KJV) and deal not with me after my folly. Job 42:8(KJV)

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

Conclusion 6.1 | KJV

We may then beg for the audience and acceptance of our poor weak prayers for Christ’s sake.

Now may the God of Israel grant me the things I have requested of him. 1 Samuel 1:17(KJV)

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14(KJV)

Let thine eyes be open unto the supplication of thy servant and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call unto thee for, for they be thy people and thine inheritance. 1 Kings 8:51-52(KJV)

O my God, let thine ears be attent unto the prayers that I have made: 2 Chronicles 6:40(KJV) O turn not away the face of thine Anointed; remember the mercies of David thy servant, 2 Chronicles 6:42(KJV) even Jesus, who is at thy right hand making intercession for me. Romans 8:34(KJV)

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

Introduction and Comprehensive Petitions

Conclusion 6.0 | KJV

Of the Conclusion of My Prayers

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

Now the Lord direct my heart into the love of God and into a patient waiting for Christ. 2 Thessalonians 3:5(KJV)

And the God of all grace, who hath called me to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that I have suffered a while, make me perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle me. 1 Peter 5:10(KJV)

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

Do for me exceeding abundantly above what I am able to ask or think, according to the power that worketh in me: Ephesians 3:20(KJV) and supply all my needs according to thy riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19(KJV)
