Pleading is biblical Jeremiah cries out to the Lord, “Righteous are you, O Lord, when I complain to you; yet I would plead my case before you” (Jeremiah ). Joshua pleads the case of the Israelites and the disgrace their annihilation would bring upon the name of God (Joshua -9); and God responds with His grace.
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.
In the purest of jealousies, God will never allow anything to compete with him for the rulership of our souls. Therefore, he refuses to participate in any bargain that would tempt us to search for life outside of him.
We, too, can plead with God in prayer as Hezekiah did and for the sake of Christ He will hear us and He will listen.
In times of distress turn to God in prayer and ask Him to fulfill His promises. Attitude of Humility & Expectancy. Acknowledge & Confess Sin. Bring Specific Concerns & Details to God. Focus on God's Character. Base Our Requests on the Promises in God's Word.
Thus, the idea of a pleasing bar speaks not to a physical fix- ture but only to the high quality of the experience at the bar of God for those who have kept his commandments or have repented in a proper and timely manner.
God is not looking for dispassionate, catatonic, listless disciples. And what is true of His disciples is also true of their prayers–He desires our passionate pleadings. The Psalmist says, “Pour out your heart before him” (Psalm ). He then offers these comforting words, “God is a refuge for us” (Psalm ).
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.
It is not just requesting, but passionately appealing. In pleading, we are making our case before God as to why He should grant our prayer request. At first, this can seem awkward or inappropriate.
