The One Hour Prayer Cycle x 10નમૂનો

Faith In Time of Trouble

Have you ever lacked faith during a time of trouble? Is your faith lagging now? Devote about 5 minutes per Scripture segment to center your thoughts on our ever-present God. Write down any inspirations that God gives you, any hint of sin that God convicts you of, any action steps that God is leading you to take, or any changes you could make as you ask God to increase your faith.

1. Praise - Psalm 46:1-11 - Start your prayer hour by praising the Lord. Praise Him for things that are on your mind right now. Praise Him for one special thing He has done in your life in the past week. Praise Him for His goodness to your family.

2. Wait - Psalm 63:1 - Spend time waiting on the Lord. Be silent and let Him pull together reflections for you.

3. Confession - Psalm 51:1-17 - Ask the Holy Spirit to show you anything in your life that might be displeasing to Him. Ask Him to point out attitudes that are wrong, as well as specific acts for which you have not yet made a prayer of confession. Now confess that to the Lord so that you might be cleansed.

4. Read the word - Matthew 14:22-32 - Spend time reading the word. The Psalms, in the prophets, and passages on prayer located in the New Testament are great.

5. Petition - Isaiah 34:4 - Ask or make requests on behalf of yourself.

6. Intersession - Psalm 41:10 - Ask or make requests on behalf of others.

7. Pray the word - Isaiah 55:1-3 - Pray specific passages. Memory verses, scriptural prayers, as well as a number of Psalms lend themselves well to this purpose.

8. Thanksgiving - Psalm 56:12 - Give thanks to the Lord for the things in your life, on behalf of your family, and on behalf of your church.

9. Singing - Isaiah 55:12 - Sing songs of praise or worship or another hymn or spiritual song.

10. Meditate - Psalm 23:1-6 - Ask the Lord to speak to you. Have a pen and paper ready to record impressions He gives you.

11. Listen - Psalm 57:1 -  Spend time merging the things you have read, things you have prayed and things you have sung and see how the Lord brings them all together to speak to you.

12. Praise - Psalm 64:10 - Praise the Lord for the time you have had to spend with Him and the impressions He has given you. Praise Him for His glorious attributes.

Invest about 5 minutes practicing what each of these verses instruct us to do and you will be surprised how quickly a whole hour in prayer will go.
