How can we use God’s
Word when we pray?
God has made many
promises to us.
But even more
important than knowing these promises.
Is to know God’s
heart and who He is.
David was “a man
after His (God’s) own heart,” as 1 Samuel 13:14 describes him.
When David prayed, he
pleaded to God according to what he knew to be true about the Lord from His
Word:
“Remember, O Lord,
your great mercy and love, for they are from of old… according to your love
remember me, for you are good, O Lord.”
Ps. 25:6-7
Is it presumptuous to
remind God of His own Word?
The Lord wants us to
claim His love.
To plead His
holiness, remind Him of His goodness.
To recount His
longsuffering, present to Him His steadfastness.
And to pray in His
power.
“Come now, let us
reason together, says the Lord.”
Isaiah 1:18
“Dear God, I want to
remind You of Your great mercy and love towards all of us, towards me
personally. Remember me according to Your love and patience; remember me with
the goodness of Your heart. You are holy, and You never change, Your love
remains forever. Amen.”
