SPEAK GRACIOUSLY
Father, I thank you that as I love purity of heart, and You put grace on my lips, the king will be my friend. (Pr 22:11)
Pour grace upon my lips, O Father; and bless me forever. (Ps. 45:2)
Make me wise and thus my words gracious; let my lips not swallow me up. (Ecclesiastes 10:12)
I pray Lord that men may marvel at the gracious words which come out of my mouth. (Luke 4.22)
Lord, remind me that whatever word is not of faith is sin. (Romans 14:23)
Lord, I thank you for the faith of God. (Mark 11:22)
Lord, thank you that I can say to the works of the devil "Be Removed!" without doubting in my heart, but believing that what I say will happen, and I shall have what I say. (Mark 11:23)
Lord, help me to mix the Word with faith. (Hebrews 4:2)
Lord Jesus, you have commanded us and given us grace to love one another as you loved us. As we do this, we will abide in You, and You in us. Otherwise we cannot bear fruit. Apart from you we can do nothing. You have made a way for us. You have poured out your love in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, and we can remain in your love. We thank You that through You we will bear much fruit. (Romans 5:5; John 15:4,5)
Lord, we pray for all those not abiding in You. We pray that they will repent, and not be thrown away as worthless branches. We pray that those in the church will never dry up.
A note on this: honestly, the best thing is to start training yourself to say “Thank you Father” for various things regularly throughout the day. Good habits have power! It will make a BIG DIFFERENCE in your life. Grateful people CANNOT be unhappy.
Dear Holy Spirit, help me:
– in everything to give thanks, for this is the will of God for me in Christ Jesus. I don’t want to grieve You through ingratitude.
(1 Thessalonians 5:18,19)
– to let the peace of God rule in my heart, to which I was also called in one body; and to be thankful. (Colossians 3:15)
Prayers of Thankfulness Concerning God’s Goodness and Generosity
Thank you Father that you are good, and that your mercy is everlasting. (Psalm 100:5).
Thank you Lord that you are very compassionate and merciful. (James 5:11)
Thank you Father that every good and perfect gift is from above, and comes down from You, Father. (James 1:17).
Father, I thank you that your divine power has given me all things that pertain to life and godliness. (2 Peter 1:3).
I thank you God that you are for me, not against me.
"His divine power HAS GIVEN to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."
(2 Peter 1:3,4).
“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you shall ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.” (John 15:7)
Prayer:
Lord, teach me by Your Spirit how to abide in Christ, day by day, hour by hour. Teach me how to retain your words in my heart. Then I will ask what I desire and it shall be done for me.
Confession:
I abide in Christ and I will abide in Christ.
His Words abide in me and will abide in me.
“Ask and it will be given unto you; seek, and you will find; knock and it will be opened unto you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”
1. To pray is as it were to be on speaking terms with Me, and so by being in communion with and abiding in Me to become like Me. There is a kind of insect which feeds upon and lives among grass and green leaves and becomes like them in colour. Also the polar bear dwelling among the white snows has the same snowy whiteness, and the tiger of Bengal bears upon its skin the marks of the reeds among which it lives. So those, who by means of prayer abide in communion with Me partake, with the saints and angels, of My Nature, and being formed in My image become like Me.
2. When for but a short time I drew Peter, James, and John into communion with Me upon the Mount, I showed them somewhat of My glory, and of all the saints two only, Moses and Elias, appeared to them; they were so captivated with that brief glimpse of heavenly glory that they wished to erect three tabernacles in order to live there (Matt. xvii.1-5). How wonderful, then, will be the happiness of those who abide in Me, and with saints and angels innumerable enter into their longed-for heaven, and share with Me My full glory which knows no loss nor shadow of change (John xvii.24; James i.17). The man of prayer shall never be alone, but he shall abide with Me and My holy ones for ever (Matt. xxviii.20; Zach. iii.7-8).
I have found something in the public domain so inspiring that I have posted it on this blog. As a young man from a wealthy family in the Punjab, Sadhu Sundar Singh was desperate for peace – something he could not find through his own prayers and devotions through following the teachings in his own Sikh holy book, The Granth, or in the Hindu vedas or even in the Qu’ran – though he knew much of these by heart. He hated and despised Christianity and even burned a Bible at school, considering it a religion of foreigners. He was most unhappy because the true knowledge of God eluded him.
