Petition is that aspect of prayer given over to asking God for
specific personal things. To seek an unselfish spiritual or
material blessing is not unscriptural. An obscure Old
Testament passage illustrates. The passage is found amid a
lengthy list of “begats.” Commentaries declare that more than
five hundred individual names are mentioned in the “begats” of
1 Chronicles. Yet, amid this somewhat exhaustive genealogy,
God pauses to provide a brief look at one of these individuals,
a man named Jabez.

What is intercession? It is God’s method for involving His
followers more completely in the totality of His plan. In no
other way can the believer become as fully involved with God’s
work, especially the work of world evangelism, as in
intercessory prayer.
Basically, intercession is prayer offered on behalf of another.
When the prayer warrior intercedes he forgets his personal
needs and focuses all of his faith and prayer-attention on
others.

What did Jesus and His chief apostle mean when they
challenged us to “watch” in prayer? The Greek word for our
word watch is gregoreo, “to be awake or vigilant.” The
dictionary defines watch as “keeping awake in order to guard.”
It can also mean “a close observation” or “to be on the alert.”
When Jesus and Paul used the expression watch they
principally meant that believers should stay awake spiritually
and keep guard. Since both Jesus and Paul linked watching
with prayer, they were referring to staying alert during prayer.
As one writer suggests, “Watching in prayer and supplication
bespeaks having spiritual insight to discern the wiles of Satan
and to discover the latter’s end and means.”

Although the Word of God is essential to the whole of our
Christian experience, it is especially crucial to prayer. The
degree to which we believe in God’s Word and apply it to
prayer is the degree to which God will pour out His power
during our prayer.
We can never expect to grow in spiritual confidence if we
spend little or no time getting to know God through His Word

Having honored God with vocal praise and silent love, we
find the door now opens for truly effective praying.
Immediately we must deal fully with the matter of personal
sin. Andrew Murray reminds us, “God cannot hear the prayers
on our lips often because the desires of our heart after the
world cry out to Him much more strongly and loudly than our
desires for Him.”

What does it mean to “wait” upon God? And how does waiting differ from praise? Waiting on the Lord is basically the silent surrendering of the soul to God. John Bisagno observed, “Waiting upon God

requires our entire being. It is not drifting into daydreaming, but is rather an exercise that demands our keenest attention, our most alert frame of mind and all of our soul’s attention to the Heavenly Voice.”

Waiting is not praise, though it is closely related to praise and flows directly from it. Praise is verbalizing our esteem of

God. Waiting is a time of silent love. Praise cries boldly, “God, I see these excellent qualities in your nature.” Waiting says softly, “God, I love you.” Being alone with God is the central issue of waiting. Genuine prayer is not merely asking for things; it is a relationship. Asking is only a part of prayer, and asking must come later

Remember, we were not only challenged by the psalmist to “Be still,” but to “know God” as well. Knowing someone

intimately is impossible with limited attention. Intimacy takes time and concentration. This is why these early moments of prayer need a careful silencing of the mind, with all thoughts

directed toward the person of God alone.

Strive to devote the early moments of your devotional hour to a time of silent sharing with the Lord. Wait patiently for a greater glimpse of His infinite glory.

Lord, teach me to wait!

Praise: the act of divine adoration
What is praise? First, praise is the vocal adoration of God.
Adoration is the act of rendering divine honor, esteem, and
love. The word adoration is derived from an ancient
expression that meant “to apply the hand to the mouth,” or “to
kiss the hand.” In certain countries a kiss of the hand is still a
symbol of deep respect and submission.
The act of vocal adoration is important because it implies we
acknowledge God as God.
Only praise puts God in His rightful position at the very outset
of our praying. In praising God we declare His sovereignty and
recognize His nature and power.
Truly, the possibilities for praise stretch beyond the limits of
our imagination. Because God has no limit, our praise is
limitless.
Early in prayer take time to recognize all that God is. Express
these thoughts vocally. And don’t be in a hurry to go beyond
praise until you have taken adequate time to adore God with
your words of worship.
Lord, teach me to adore you!
Bless you as you continue to fast and pray!
