Prayer: The Discipline of Prayer

Ah, Lord God, may I learn to be an intercessor, one who is able to combine the study of Scripture with the discipline of prayer so that I may know Your attributes, cling to Your promises and gain Your view of current situations. May I read with a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. Grant a listening ear, a receptive heart and a spirit that turns to You quickly in any and all situations. Let it be shown that You are with us, O Lord, and have not turned Your face from us. Accomplish Your purposes in and through us. Amen (2 Chronicles 31.5; Jeremiah 28.7; 3 Maccabees 6.15; 1 Timothy 1.5)
