Just as he promised

Praise be to the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel just as He promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises He gave to His servant Moses. May the Lord our God be with us as He was with our fathers; may He never leave us nor forsake us. May He turn our hearts toward Him, to walk in all His ways and to keep the commands He gave our fathers. In a these words of mine, which I pray before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God day and night, that He may uphold the cause of his servant and the cause of His people Israel, according to each day's need, so that all the peoples of the earth may know the Lord is God and that there is no other. I Kings 8:56-60 Solomon praised the Lord and prayed for his people. His prayer can be a pattern for our prayers. He had five basic requests:1. For God's presence; 2. For the desire to do God's will in everything; 3. For help with each day's need; 4. For the desire and ability to obey God's commands; 5. The spread of God's Kingdom to the entire world. These prayer requests are just as important today. When you pray for your church or family, you can make the same requests to God. Look at the record and leave the rest to Him. He will keep His word with you. We are but to claim it. God bless you, J.H.
