First Pray First

(A modified Prayer from Devotion app)

Prayer is never the first word; it is always the second word. God has the first word. ⏤ Eugene Peterson

Let’s Park and Pray at 1;11 pm

Lord, teach us how to pray. We thank You for the blessings and for the gracious privilege of prayer. Gracious God, humbly we bring our desires and wishes to You freely, no matter what they are — sure that You will give them patient consideration. You never despise the prayer of any of Your children. The feeblest and lowest may come with the smallest request — and You will open the door to hear all who pray. We rejoice that we have a loving God.

Teach us how to pray. Give us the confidence. Help us to come boldly to Your throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in our times of need. We are sure of Your willingness to do always for us, the thing that is best. Almighty Lord, give us this day our daily bread. Deliver us from evil. Give us the faith that will trust You with our desires.

Give us patience and endurance with each breath we release our burdens and leave questions to You. Give us confidence in Your Word and how and when the answer shall come. If the thing we ask for is not given, help us to believe that it is in our best interest.

We come with our requests for temporal blessings. We ask You for daily bread, for health, for prosperity in business. We ask You for daily bread, for health, for prosperity

If it be Your will, Father, grant us all these mercies and favors. If any of them are withheld, we are sure it shall be in love, and we will say, “May Your will, not ours, be done.”

We pray also for spiritual blessings, asking You to give us more grace, more love, more of Your Spirit’s influence. Hear these our prayers, and give us an answer of peace. So may we abide in You, and may Your love enter into our hearts. Give as the best things, the things we need the most — not what we ask, unless what we ask is best. We make these prayers in Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
