TEACH US TO PRAY

“TEACH US TO PRAY.”

Teach us to pray!
O Father, we look up to Thee,
And this our one request shall be,
Teach us to pray!

Teach us to pray!
A form of words will not suffice,
The heart must bring its sacrifice:
Teach us to pray!

Teach us to pray!
To whom shall we Thy children turn?
Teach Thou the lesson we would learn,
Teach us to pray!

Teach us to pray!
To Thee alone our hearts look up,
Prayer is our only door of hope,
Teach us to pray!

One Life of Prayer, Please*

Lord, early in your ministry you practiced devotional prayer time with the Father. Help your servant to be faithful in practicing prayer. Let my day start with prayer. Allow me to live in a state of prayer. Let me lay my head down at night talking with you.

But he withdrew himself in the deserts, and prayed. Luke 5:16

To Worship You and Serve You In...

The following is an excerpt from For His Glory: 31 Daily Meditations. Consider the prayer of this saint of old and see why it should be our prayer too!

Prayer for Grace

My hands will I lift up unto Thy commandments which I have loved.  Open Thou mine eyes that I may see, incline my heart that I may desire, order my steps that I may follow, the way of Thy commandments.  O Lord God, be Thou to me a God, and beside Thee none else, none else, nought else with Thee.  Vouchsafe to me, to worship Thee and serve Thee:

1. In truth of spirit,
2. In reverence of body,
3. In blessing of lips,
4. In private and in public;
5. To pay honour to them that have the rule over me, by obedience and submission, to shew affection to my own, by carefulness and providence;
6. To overcome evil with good;
7. To possess my vessel in sanctification and honour;
8. To have my converse without covetousness, content with what I have;
9. To speak the truth in love;
10. To be desirous not to lust, not to lust passionately, not to go after lusts.
11. To bruise the serpent's head. (Gen. iii. 15.)
12. To remember my latter end. (Deut. xxvii. 29.)
13. To cut off opportunities. (2 Cor. xi. 12.)
14. To be sober. (1 Pet. v. 8.)
15. Not to sit idle. (Matt. xx. 6.)
16. To shun the wicked. (Ps. xxvi. 5.)
17. To cleave to the good. (Rom. xii. 9.)
18. To make a covenant with the eyes. (Job xxxi. 1.)
19. To bring my body into subjection. (1 Cor. ix. 27.)
20. To give myself unto prayer. (1 Cor. vii. 5.)
21. To betake myself to penitence. (2 Pet. iii. 9.)

Hedge up, my way with thorns, that I find not the path for following vanity. Hold Thou me in with bit and bridle, lest I fall from Thee.  O Lord compel me to come in to Thee. Amen. -Lancelot Andrewes
