BIBLE TEXT: 7 Hear me as I pray, O Lord. Be merciful and answer me! My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.” And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming.” Do not turn your back on me.
Put Him in Remembrance It means that as a covenant believer, you can stand before the throne of God when you pray and remind Him of His promises. You can lay your case legally before Him and plead your case as a lawyer would plead his case before a judge.
Go to the written Word of God. Find scriptures that apply to your situation, and make those the foundation for your petition. Consult with the Holy Spirit. Write your petition. Pray the prayer of petition. Have confidence. Praise God for the answer.
Pleading with God is that part of prayer (a subset of supplication) in which we argue our case with God, as Isaac Watts wonderfully says, “in a fervent yet humble manner.” It is not just petition, but petition well-reasoned. It is not just requesting, but passionately appealing.
How to Pray to God for Something. When you ask God for help, be specific about what you want from Him. Then, tell Him that you trust in His ways, even if they're not what you expect. Close the prayer by thanking Him, and be patient while you wait for something to happen.
Prayer of Petition When we pray our petitions, we are asking God, who loves us very much, for something that we believe is good—for ourselves or for others. By using this form of prayer we are mindful of the needs of others as well as of our own needs.
Petitions are the things that we pray for ourselves, and intercessions are what we pray for others and the larger world. In both cases, we are bringing the requests of our heart to God.
In the United States, the No Religious Test Clause states that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." Still, there are federal oaths which do include the phrase "So help me God", such as for justices and judges in 28 U.S.C. § 453.
We pray for Your divine intervention in their court case, asking that You soften the heart of the judge and grant them mercy and favor. We pray that the charges against them be dropped, Lord, so that their past mistakes do not have a lasting impact on their life and the lives of their family.
