From Handbook to Prayer
Adoration
You are the high and lofty One
Who inhabits eternity, whose name is holy.
You live in a high and holy place
But also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit,
To revive the spirit of the lowly
And to revive the heart of the contrite.
(Isaiah 57:15)
The multitudes who went before Jesus and those who followed shouted,
“Hosanna to the Son of David!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!” (Matthew 21:9)
Pause to express your thoughts of praise and worship.
Confession
We have sinned with our fathers;
We have committed iniquity and acted wickedly.
(Psalm 106:6)
Ask the Spirit to search your heart and reveal any areas of unconfessed sin. Acknowledge these to the Lord and thank Him for His forgiveness.
