Reading:
Revelation 8:1-5

That’s where I want my prayers to go.

Like this:

“And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand” (4).

I’m thankful God hears my prayers.

Even when they surely aren’t pleasant, at least by my standards.

So let me be more careful in my praying, that I may please God by them.

[The Scriptures say in Revelation 8:3 -- That he should offer it with the prayers of all saints]
from Revelation 8:3

What shall I pray?

What shall I pray?

“Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 1:2).

“Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers” (Ephesians 1:16).

“That…the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him” (Ephesians 1:17).

“The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know…” (Ephesians 1:18).

“And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe” (Ephesians 1:19).

I want to do better at praying that for others.

  • Grace and peace
  • Thankfulness
  • Spirit of wisdom and knowledge of Jesus
  • Understanding and knowledge
  • Experience God’s power
