As for me, I will CALL upon God and the Lord will save me! Evening AND morning AND at noon, will I pray and cry aloud! And He will hear my voice!!!

( A lesson here to "Pray with expectation" Psalm 55:16,17)


‎‭

These all continued with one accord in prayer & supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus and with His brethren.‎‭ (Acts 1:14)


‎‭Now we exhort you, brethren, Warn them that are disorderly, Comfort the feeble-minded, Support the weak, be Patient towards all men.‎‭ See that NONE render evil for evil to any man but ever follow that which is Good, both among yourselves and to all men.‎‭ Rejoice evermore! Pray without ceasing! In EVERY thing GIVE THANKS for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you! & ‎‭Quench not the spirit! (1 Thes 5:14-19)





But we (the Apostels) will give ourselves "continually" to Prayer AND to the Ministry of the Word (Acts 6:4)


((As examples to us, to GIVE ourselves, first to God and then to each other / others..))


‎For he that will love life and see good days, let him Restrain his tongue from evil and his lips that they speak no guile! Let him shun evil & do good, let him SEEK peace & pursue it! For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous and His ears are open to their Prayers!!! But the face of the Lord is against them that do evil! ‎‭And who is he that will harm you, IF ye are followers of that which is good?‎‭ (1 Peter 3:10-13)




Peter therefore was kept in prison BUT prayer was made "without ceasing" by the Church to God for him.‎‭.., And behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him and a light shined in the prison and he smote Peter on the side and raised him up, saying: 'Arise quickly' and his chains FELL OFF from his hands.‎., When Peter had come to himself, he said: "Now I know with certainty, that the Lord hath sent His angel and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.‎‭.." (Acts 12:5,7,11)



‎‭CONFESS your faults one to another & PRAY one for another, that ye may be HEALED! The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availeth MUCH (More then we could think of‎‭:) Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months! ‎And he prayed again and the heaven gave rain and the earth brought forth its FRUIT!!! (James 5:16-18)


And this I, Paul, PRAY: "that your LOVE may abound yet more and more, in knowledge and in all judgment! That ye may approve things that are excellent! That ye may be sincere & without offense till the day of Christ..." (Phil 1:9-11) ‎‭


Being filled with the Fruits of Righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ to: the Glory and Praise of God!!! Finally, brethren, PRAY FOR US that the Word of the Lord may have free course & be Glorified, even as it is with you! (2 Thes 3:1)




‎‭I acknowledged/confessed my sin to Thee and my iniquity have I NOT hid. I said: "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord" and Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin!!! ‎‭For this shall every one that is Godly pray to Thee in a time when Thou may be found "surely in the floods of great waters they shall NOT come nigh to him!" Thou art my hiding Place! Thou wilt preserve me from trouble! Thou wilt compass me about with Songs of Deliverance!

I will instruct thee AND teach thee in the way which thou shalt go! I will guide thee with My eye!

Be ye NOT as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding! Whose mouth must be held in with bit & bridle, lest they come near to thee! ‎‭Many sorrows shall be to the wicked BUT he that trust in the Lord MERCY shall encompass him!!! ‎‭Be glad in the Lord & Rejoice, ye righteous and SHOUT for joy, all ye that are Upright in heart! (Psalm 32:5-11)



Extra examples of Prayer & Supplication, very Inspiring to read in Ezra 9, Nehemiah 9 and Daniel 9


Also I love this prayer of King Salomon, after he build the first Temple of the Lord (and now WE ourselves are the Temple of the Lord HIS BODY a dwelling Place of His Holy Spirit..)


Some beautiful verses of Salomon's Prayer:


"That Thy eyes may be open upon this House day & night, upon the place of which Thou hast said, that thou would put Thy Name there! To hearken to the prayer which thy servant prayeth towards this place.‎‭ ‎‭Hearken therefore to the supplications of thy servant and of Thy people Israel, which they shall make towards this place, hear thou from Thy dwelling-place, even from Heaven and when Thou hear: forgive!..., And shall RETURN and CONFESS Thy name and PRAY and make SUPPLICATION before Thee in this House: "Then" hear Thou from the heavens AND forgive the sin of thy people Israel and bring them again to the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.‎‭ When the heaven is shut and there is no rain, because they have sinned against Thee; yet if they (1) pray towards this Place & (2) confess Thy Name & (3) turn from their sin, when Thou dost afflict them;‎‭ Then hear Thou from heaven AND forgive the sin of Thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them "The Good Way" in which they should walk and send rain upon thy land, which Thou hast given to Thy people for an inheritance.‎‭ ‎‭If there shall be death in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies shall besiege them in the cities of their land; whatever calamity, or whatever sickness there be:‎‭Then whatever prayer, or whatever supplication shall be made by any man, or by all the people of Israel, WHEN every one shall know his OWN calamity and his OWN grief and shall "spread forth his hands" in this house:‎‭ Then hear thou from heaven Thy dwelling-place AND forgive AND render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart Thou know (for Thou only know the hearts of the children of men)‎‭ ‎‭That: "they may fear Thee, to walk in Thy ways, so long as they live in the land which Thou gave to our fathers". (2 Chron 6 some verses between 20 and 31)
