I am working on a prayer because I am stymied in my growth. I am following the ACTS format. I have tried to support everything with scripture. For instance, the A in ACTS is Adoration, so I used portions of 1 Chronicles 29:11-13 for my adoration in the prayer.
That is what I mean when I say scriptural support. I have tried to give use God's words to say why I think the request should be granted.
Normally I pray inside my head and only occasionally give voice to my prayers. (like in church, at meals, or if other people need to be involved) But mostly I just think the prayer.
It is a long prayer, should I read it out loud for God, or since He has helped me with the research and he already knows should I just finish the paper and call it good.
It has taken me all day to do the research and check that no scripture is taken out of context or otherwise abused. I asked for the Spirit to help me with all of this so I wouldn't make any mistakes. Anyway, how do I deliver the final product to our Master?
11 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all. 12 Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone. 13 Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name.
