Here are some ways to pray through the passage from last week’s sermon.
Verses 1-3:
- Lord, help me guard my steps as I come to worship You
- Show me how to prepare seriously for worship
- Show me sins I need to confess before I gather this Sunday with the church
- Open my ears and heart to listen to what You want to say this week through the preaching of Your Word
- Make my prayers real and meaningful instead of just empty utterances
- Show my heart the seriousness of my prayers, that they go to the throne room of heaven
- Enable me to pray with fewer meaningful words
Verses 4-7:
- Reveal where I have made or am making rash vows of worship to You
- Help me to mean what I say and to follow through with my commitments
- Show me where I say things to please others and look good instead of from a genuine heart
- Reveal to me an area of my heart that needs change every time I meet with you in worship, both publicly and privately
- Thank You for the grace You work in my life to enable that change
- Help me to trust You to change my heart and not try to do it on my own
- Thank You for Your patience with me
- Increase my fear of You
