A Method for Prayer01 Matthew Henry
David your servant; even Jesus, who is at your right-hand making intercession for us.
2 Chronicles 6:40, 42. Romans 8:34.
Lord, you have assured us that whatever we ask the Father in Christ's name, he will give it us: We ask all these things in that name, that powerful name, which is above every name, that precious name which is as ointment poured forth.
O make your face to shine upon us for the Lord's sake, who is the Son of your love, and whom you hear always: Good Lord, give to us to hear him, and be well pleased with usin him. John 16:23. Philippians
Canticle (Song of Solomon) 1:3. Daniel 9:17. Colossians 1:13. John 11:42. Matthew 17:5.
3. WE MAY THEN BEG FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF WHAT HAS BEEN AMISS IN OUR PRAYERS Lord,we have not prayed as we ought; who is there that doth good, and sins not? Even when we would do good evil is present with us; and if to will be present, yet how to perform that which is good we know not, for the good that we would we do not; so that you might justly refuse to hear even when we make many prayers. But we have a great high priest, who bears the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow in all their holy gifts; for his sake take away all that iniquity from us, even all the iniquity of our holy things, and receive us graciously, and love us freely; And deal not with us after our folly. Romans 8:26. Ecclesiastes 7:20. Romans 7:21, 18, 19. Isaiah 1:15. Exodus 28:38. Hosea 14-2, 4. Job 42:8.
