Provision, Direction and Instructions 2

I have chosen the faithful way; I have placed Your ordinances before me. (Psalm 119:130)

I wait [patiently] for the LORD, my soul [expectantly] waits, And in His word do I hope. (Psalm 130:5)

The LORD is good to those who wait [confidently] for Him, To those who seek Him [on the authority of God’s word].

My soul waits for the Lord More than the watchmen for the morning; More than the watchmen for the morning. (Lamentation 3:25-26) It is good to give thanks to Yahweh And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High.

To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your faithfulness by night. (Psalm 92:1-2) In every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

Be persistent and devoted to prayer, being alert and focused in your prayer life with an attitude of thanksgiving. (Colossians 4:2)

With all prayer and petition pray [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] in the Spirit, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all God’s people.

And pray for me, that words may be given to me when I open my mouth, to proclaim boldly the mystery of the good news [of salvation]. (Ephesians 6:18-19) Finally, brothers and sisters, pray continually for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be honored [triumphantly celebrated and glorified], just as it was with you.

and [pray] that we will be rescued from perverse and evil men; for not everyone has the faith.

But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you [setting you on a firm foundation] and will protect and guard you from the evil one. (2 Thessalonians 3:1-3) He rescued us from so great a threat of death, and will continue to rescue us. On Him we have set our hope. And He will again rescue us [from danger and draw us near], while you join in helping us by your prayers. Then thanks will be given by many persons on our behalf for the gracious gift [of deliverance] granted to us through the prayers of many [believers]. (2 Corinthians 1:10-11) Preaching and proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all openness and boldness, unhindered and unrestrained. (Acts 28:31) Then the LORD stretched out His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me,

“Behold (hear Me), I have put My words in your mouth.

“See, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms,

To uproot and break down,

To destroy and to overthrow,

To build and to plant.” (Jeremiah 1:9-10)

Listen carefully: I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be wise as serpents, and innocent as doves. (Matthew 10:16)
