Let your requests be made known unto God. -- PHIL.4:6. Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. -- There was given to me a thorn in the flesh. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities. I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. -- Hannah . . . was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore. And she vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and . . . wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his life. The Lord remembered her. We know not what we should pray for as we ought. -- He shall choose our inheritance for us. Mark 14:36. -II Cor.12:7-9.Psa.142:2. -I Sam.1:9-11,20.Rom.8:26. -Psa.47:4. |
