A Method for Prayer01 Matthew Henry
Christ dwell richly in the hearts of all. Be you exalted, O Lord, among the heathen, be you exalted in the earth; Be you exalted, O
God, above the heavens, let your glory be above all the earth; Be you exalted, O Lord, in your own strength, so will we sing and praise your power. Do great things with your glorious and everlasting arm, to make unto yourself a glorious and an everlasting name.

And we desire to speak of the glorious majesty of your kingdom, for it is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations.

Make all the kings of the earth to know that the heavens do rule, even that the most High rules in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and to praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment, and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

Rule in us by the power of truth, that being of the truth, we may always hear Christ's voice; and may not only call him Lord,
Lord, but do the things that he saith. And let the love of Christ command us, and constrain us, and his fear be before our eyes, that we sin not. 1 Corinthians 3:16. Psalm 119:133. Ezekiel 21:27. Psalm
