PRAY SCRIPTURE

I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer.

Psalm 17:6

There are only a few pages left to fill in my small black journal. It’s the first prayer journal where the penned prayers are primarily from Scripture. Each prayer concludes with the date and the passage it’s based on. Let’s pray Daniel’s prayer together.

O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with all who love him and obey his commands, we have sinned and done wrong . . . confess personal sin.

We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws . . . ask for forgiveness.

The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him . . . give thanks for His forgiveness and mercy.

Now, our God, hear our prayers and petitions. For your sake, O Lord, look with favor on your people. Give ear, O God, and hear. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your mercy . . . lay your requests and petitions before God.

O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord hear and act! For your sake, O God, do not delay, because your people bear your Name . . . praise God for the privilege of bearing His Name and tell Him how you feel about Him. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Scripture: Daniel 9. Date: 9.28.09

While Daniel was still in prayer – confessing his sin and sin of the people Israel – Gabriel came to him in swift flight. He said, “Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding. As soon as you began to pray, an answer was given, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed. Therefore, consider the message and understand the vision” (Daniel 9:22-23).

Within The Truth Project videos, Dr. Del Tackett asks, “Do you really believe that what you believe is really real?”

Repeat the question. Think on the question. Apply it to prayer. Do you really believe that what you believe about prayer is really real? Do you really believe that when you pray, you enter the very throne room of God where our all-powerful and almighty God listens, hears, and answers those prayers in His perfect time? Daniel believed it. And if God’s children would really believe it today, it would turn the world upside down.

Prayer Step: Choose a passage of Scripture and pray through it today. Really believe that God will give ear, hear, and answer your prayers (Psalm 17:6).

If we then let the words of Christ abide in us, they will stir us up in prayer.
