Prayer
Read this and confess and see that God will come to our (your) rescue! The Word of God is living, active, sharper than any two-edged sword - - What better way to pray, than say / pray the Word of God.
.Solomons Prayer:
1 Kings 8:23-51 "O Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth below — you who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way. You have kept your promise to your servants and with your mouth you have promised and with your hand you have fulfilled it — as it is today.
Give attention to your servant's prayer and his plea for mercy, O Lord my God. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servants are praying in your presence this day. Hear the supplication of your servants and of your people when they pray.
"When your people have been defeated by an enemy because they have sinned against you and when they turn back to you and confess your name, praying and making supplication to you, then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your people and bring them back to the land you gave to their fathers.
"When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because your people have sinned against you, and when they pray and confess your name and turn from their sin because you have afflicted them, then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your servants.
Teach us the right way to live, and send rain on the land you gave us for an inheritance.
And forgive us, your people, who have sinned against you. Forgive all the offenses we have committed against you.
