Heavenly Father, I feel under attack and misunderstood. Help me to remember that when I am persecuted, insulted, and lied about for the sake of righteousness, I am blessed. Help me to walk in victory, knowing You will give me the bravery and peace required to reflect Your love well to a world that does not know You.
You write down in detail what it is that you are petitioning God for. A prayer of petition involves praying to God asking Him to meet a need. Sometimes that need is for ourselves, and sometimes it's for others, but it's a direct request for something we truly desire God to deliver.
The Seven Petitions of the Lord's Prayer Hallowed by thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation. Deliver us from evil.
Psalm 70 provides a basic example. It begins by asking God “to deliver me” and petitions God to bring “shame and confusion” upon those “who seek my life.” The psalm ends with the plea, “O LORD, do not delay!” The characters are flat, predictable characters with a single motivating force.
Examples of intentions might include: Sick friends or relatives. Difficult situations at work or school. Resolution of family problems (e.g., better relations between siblings). For issues of peace and justice in the news (e.g., for the resolution of armed conflict, help for victims of natural disaster, etc.).
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.
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.

Please be with me throughout the day and help me navigate whatever comes my way. Most importantly, help me to reflect and live out my life in a way that is honoring to You.
