Prayer of Jabez...

He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel,
"Oh, that you would bless me and extend my lands!
Please be with me in all that I do,
and keep me from all trouble and pain!"
And God granted him his request!


1 Chronicles 4:10 (NLT)


Prayer of David
[repentance after sinning with Bathsheba]

"Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love.
Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins.
Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin.For I recognize my shameful deeds- they haunt me day and night.
Against you, and you alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight.
You will be proved right in what you say, and your judgment against me is just.
For I was born a sinner- yes, from the moment my mother conceived me
But you desire honesty from the heart, so you can teach me to be wise in my inmost being
Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Oh, give me back my joy again; you have broken me- now let me rejoice.
Don't keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt.
Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me"


Amen

Psalm 51:1-10 (NLT)


Prayer of Nehemiah...

Then I prayed,
"Hear us, O our God, for we are being mocked. May their scoffing fall back on their own heads, and may they themselves become captives in a foreign land!
Then I said,
"O LORD, God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps his covenant of unfailing love with those who love him and obey his commands,
Listen to my prayer! Look down and see me praying night and day for your people Israel. I confess that we have sinned against you. Yes, even my own family and I have sinned!
We have sinned terribly by not obeying the commands, laws, and regulations that you gave us through your servant Moses.
"Please remember what you told your servant Moses: 'If you sin, I will scatter you among the nations.
But if you return to me and obey my commands, even if you are exiled to the ends of the earth, I will bring you back to the place I have chosen for my name to be honored.'
"We are your servants, the people you rescued by your great power and might.
O LORD, please hear my prayer!
Listen to the prayers of those of us who delight in honoring you.


Amen.

Nehemiah 4:4-11


Prayer of Jesus

Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy Name
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
For Yours is the Kingdom, the power and glory. For ever,
Amen

  • Our Father
    (entering phase, into God presence)
  • Our Father who art in heaven ,
    You can only call someone "father" if you are his child…
    I have the right to call my physical father,"father" because I ‘m of his seed (physical seed). You become a child of God by receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior. (1 John 1:12) Child ship is given to you through spiritual seed, rebirth. [reborn in Christ]
    John 3:7 Jesus says: You must [ it's not a debate, it's a decision ]
    Heaven: Our Father stays in Heaven – Paradise, our destination! (proclaim God's greatness ~ His character)
  • Hallowed be thy name
    You honor the Lord if you don't use His Name in vain. If you follow and move in His will and If you are obedient to Him. You honor Him if you worship and praise Him for all that He has done, and if you declare the greatness of His acts, and Holiness of His Name. (proclaim His rulership and authority)
  • Thy kingdom come,Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven
    This word "kingdom" doesn't mean heaven, but refers to rule or ruler ship. If we are under God's rule or authority…His Will, will be done as it is where He stays, namely in heaven. If His ruler ship come into men's hearts, His kingdom/authority comes on earth. [Mat 28:19]
    Pray for nations, governments, leaders, pastors, churches, missionaries, the unsaved, and persecuted Christians, also for your family, friends and yourself.
    (Proclaim Him as provider)
  • Give us this day our daily bread
    Pray about your physical needs - be specific, confide in God about your needs. We don't live of bread alone but also of the Word of God, which is Jesus….He is the Bread of life.He sustains us. [If God is for us this day, who can be against us? We will have sufficient for this day… food for our body, spirit & soul]. Proclaim His faithfulness.
  • And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us
    The words "as we" means "in the same way as we"
    So if we only forgive 40% we will receive only 40% forgiveness. What did Jesus say?
    "Until seventy times seven"– completely! Mat 18:22 KJV
    [This is not a debate, it's a decision!] Jesus emphasized this directly after this prayer in verse 14&15, thus it must be important!
    Pray and forgive as the Holy Spirit leads you .Forgive those who have hurt you. If it's difficult, pray and ask the Lord to help you to forgive those who you need to forgive.Once we have forgiven people who have hurt us;when have set them free, they have no more power over us. (Proclaim him as deliverer)
  • Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
    We are at war with satan 24/7.Temptation starts in our minds, this is our battlefied. This is where the wars are raging. This is where they are won or lost. We have to analyze our thoughts, are they from God,or from satan? An resistance and elimination process needs to take place. How?
    Total surrender to God - empowers us to resist satan, through the blood of Christ, (he, satan), will flee we are delivered from evil. James 4:7 KJV
    "And they have defeated him(Satan) because of the blood of the Lamb..." Revelation 12:11
    God is the only true Deliverer, and there is No other! (proclaim His greatness)
  • For Yours is the Kingdom, the power and glory. For ever, Amen
    God is the beginning and the end. His rule is forever. His power and glory is forever. And so shall it be, it's true! Pray and proclaim the greatness and awesomeness of God. It is always pleasing to God when we glorify His Name.When we glorify God for who and what He is...He moves His Hand!

Psalm 86: Teach me Your way...

"Teach me your ways, O LORD, that I may live according to your truth!
Grant me purity of heart, that I may honor you.
With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God.
I will give glory to your name forever, for your love for me is very great.
You have rescued me from the depths of death!
O God, insolent people rise up against me, violent people are trying to kill me. And you mean nothing to them.
But you, O Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to get angry, full of unfailing love and truth.
Look down and have mercy on me.
Give strength to your servant; yes, save me, for I am your servant"


Amen
Psalm 86:11-16 (NLT)


Psalm 30: God; I give you all the credit

GOD; you got me out of that mess, you didn't let my foes gloat.
GOD, my God, I yelled for help and you put me together.
GOD, you pulled me out of the grave, gave me another chance at life when I was down-and-out.
All you saints! Sing your hearts out to GOD! Thank him to his face!
He gets angry once in a while, but across a lifetime there is only love. The nights of crying your eyes out give way to days of laughter.
When things were going great I crowed, "I've got it made.
I'm GOD's favorite. He made me king of the mountain." Then you looked the other way and I fell to pieces.
I called out to you, GOD; I laid my case before you:
"Can you sell me for a profit when I'm dead? auction me off at a cemetery yard sale? When I'm 'dust to dust' my songs and stories of you won't sell.So listen! and be kind! Help me out of this!"
You did it: you changed wild lament into whirling dance; You ripped off my black mourning band and decked me with wildflowers.
I'm about to burst with song;
I can't keep quiet about you. GOD, my God, I can't thank you enough.


Amen

Psalm 30:1-12 (MSG)


Psalm 5: Daybreak...

"O LORD, hear me as I pray;
pay attention to my groaning,
Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God,
for I will never pray to anyone but you...
Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD.
Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly"


Amen

Psalm 5:1-3 (NLT)
