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

Conclusion 6.2 | NASB

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

Lord, I have not prayed as I should: Romans 8:26(NASB) who is there who continually does good and never sins? Ecclesiastes 7:20(NASB) Even when I want to do good, evil is present in me, Romans 7:21(NASB) and if the willing is present in me, yet the doing of the good is not: For the good that I want, I do not do; Romans 7:18-19(NASB) so that You might justly refuse to listen, even though I multiply prayers. Isaiah 1:15(NASB) But I have a great High Priest, who takes away the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel consecrate, with regard to all their holy gifts; Exodus 28:38(NASB) 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(NASB) and love me freely, Hosea 14:4(NASB) and do not do with me according to my folly. Job 42:8(NASB)

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

Conclusion 6.1 | NASB

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 my petitions that I have asked of Him. 1 Samuel 1:17(NASB)

Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14(NASB)

Let Your eyes be open to the supplication of Your servant and to the supplication of Your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they call to You, for they are Your people and Your inheritance. 1 Kings 8:51-52(NASB)

O my God, let Your ears be attentive to the prayers that I have offered: 2 Chronicles 6:40(NASB) O do not turn away the face of Your Anointed; remember Your lovingkindness to Your servant David, 2 Chronicles 6:42(NASB) even Jesus, who is at Your right hand interceding for me. Romans 8:34(NASB)

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

Introduction and Comprehensive Petitions

Conclusion 6.0 | NASB

Of the Conclusion of My Prayers

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

Now may the Lord direct my heart into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ. 2 Thessalonians 3:5(NASB)

And the God of all grace, who has called me to His eternal glory in Christ, after I have suffered for a little while, perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish me. 1 Peter 5:10(NASB)

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

Do for me far more abundantly beyond all that I am able to ask or think, according to the power that works within me: Ephesians 3:20(NASB) and supply all my needs according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19(NASB)
