The Psalmist, finding himself in desparate straits, prayed to the LORD Our God--the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob with these words.
The Psalmist prayed,
Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart have multiplied; free me from my anguish.
Look upon my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins.
See how my enemies have increased and how fiercely they hate me?
Guard my life and rescue me; let me not be put to shame for I take refuge in You.
May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in You.
Redeem Israel, O God, from all their troubles!
AMEN!
Dear Saints,
If the above prayer expresses your need, I stand in agreement with you as the Royal "We" [you, me, and God,the Holy Spirit(the Ruach ha Kodesh )] pray this prayer in the name of Christ Jesus, Yeshua Ha Mashiach.
We pray with confidence because Jude 1:20,21 says, "But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life." English Standard Version[ESV], Holy Bible
And, according to Matthew Henry's Commentary pertaining to Jude 1: 17-23,
"Sensual men separate from Christ, and his church, and join themselves to the devil, the world, and the flesh, by ungodly and sinful practices. That is infinitely worse than to separate from any branch of the visible church on account of opinions, or modes and circumstances of outward government or worship. Sensual men have not the spirit of holiness, which whoever has not, does not belong to Christ. The grace of faith is most holy, as it works by love, purifies the heart, and overcomes the world, by which it is distinguished from a false and dead faith. Our prayers are most likely to prevail, when we pray in the Holy Ghost, under his guidance and influence, according to the rule of his word, with faith, fervency, and earnestness; this is praying in the Holy Ghost. And a believing expectation of eternal life will arm us against the snares of sin: lively faith in this blessed hope will help us to mortify our lusts. We must watch over one another; faithfully, yet prudently reprove each other, and set a good example to all about us. This must be done with compassion, making a difference between the weak and the wilful. Some we must treat with tenderness. Others save with fear; urging the terrors of the Lord. All endeavours must be joined with decided abhorrence of crimes, and care be taken to avoid whatever led to, or was connected with fellowship with them, in works of darkness, keeping far from what is, or appears to be evil."
Dear Saints,
As we confess our sins and ask the that the Lord forgive us for our sins, we stand on the Word of God, 1 John 1:9, where it says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." Having confessed our sins, we are confident that our prayer will be found acceptable in God's sight because You, Lord Jesus, are our Rock, our Redeemer, and our Righteousness. And, only in right agreement with You, Lord Jesus, do we offer our prayer.
Thank You, Lord.AMEN.
