“The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And in the night His song shall be with me,
A prayer to the God of my life.
Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort,
According to Your word to Your servant.
Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD,
Let my prayer be set before You as incense,
The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice..”
(Psalm 42:8, Psalm 119:76, Psalm 119:108, Psalm 141:2)
MY COMMENTS
It is a most beautiful and awesome thing, when we turn our prayers into a Praise, a Worship and an Adoration unto God. Prayer is a spiritual sacrifice that we must offer to God acceptably. It needs to rise up to God with a sweet aroma, just as the smoke of a burnt sacrifice and an incense offering. Praise God!
The Psalmist declares that God inhabits the praises of His people. Oh, how beautiful and how awesome it is that such an infinitely powerful God would chose to come and dwell in the praises of human beings. Therefore, let us praise Him and give thanks this day. If He inhabits our praises, then He is much nearer, and will answer much faster. Praise the Lord. Amen!
MY PRAYER FOR YOU
(Read through, pray with me, affirm to God you’ve received it)
Holy Spirit, I pray, intercede for your people as I write,
So the Father will answer and grant them their requests.
Oh Father, I come in the name of Jesus.
Out of Your merciful kindness, grace and compassion,
Comfort Your people in their trials and challenges.
Regard their prayers as a freewill burnt offering of their mouth;
And as the smoke of an incense offering.
Rising up to You before Your throne of grace.
With a sweet aroma, acceptable to You.
O Lord, let their prayers and worship,
Be a great joy and gladness set before Your Majesty;
Delight in accepting and answering them,
And grant them their heart desires.
Amen and Amen!
