She prays earnestly >for a child, and when the Lord gives her one, she expresses her >gratitude in full-blown poetic praise. Her response is fitting for the >gift. > >PRAYER >• Because the Lord is so merciful to us, we give Him heartfelt praise >and thanksgiving with the psalmist: >Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! >For He has done marvelous things; >His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory. >The Lord has made known His salvation; >His righteousness He has revealed in the sight of the nations. >He has remembered His mercy and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; >All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God (Psalm >98:1-3). > >• Pause for personal praise and thanksgiving. Pray this confession to >the Lord as you seek to keep your life free from sin: >No chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; >nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness >to those who have been trained by it. Therefore strengthen the hands >which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your >feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed >(Hebrews 12:11-13). > >• Confess any sins that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind. Now pause >to pray this affirmation to the Lord: >The Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we >should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession >for us with groanings which cannot be uttered (Romans 8:26). > >• As you make your requests known to the Lord, pray for: >• greater thankfulness to the Lord, >• unsaved family members, >• your activities for the day. >• Offer this closing prayer to the Lord: >A day in Your courts is better than a thousand. >I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God >Than dwell in the tents of wickedness >(Psalm 84:10). > > >Quiet Walk is published by Walk Thru the Bible Ministries, Inc. in >Atlanta, GA.
