Teach us to pray

Below is is a wonderful example from Matthew Henry's "A Method of Prayer" that teaches how to pray scripture. 
 
As you know, Jesus taught us to pray "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Notice how Henry uses scripture to pray in the way Jesus taught us. 
 
We rejoice that your will is done in heaven; that the holy angels do your word and always obey the voice of your word; Psalm 103:20(ESV) that they always see the face of our Father. Matthew 18:10(ESV) And we lament that your will is so little done on earth, so many of the children of men being captured by Satan to do his will. 2 Timothy 2:26(ESV) O that this earth may be made more like heaven! And saints more like the holy angels! And that we who hope to be shortly like angels in heaven, Matthew 22:30(ESV) may now, like them, never cease from praising him;Revelation 4:8(ESV) may now, like them, resist and withstand Satan; Daniel10:13(ESV) may be as a flaming fire, Psalm 104:4(ESV) in swift flight, Daniel9:21(ESV) and may go straight forward, wherever the Spirit goes; Ezekiel1:12(ESV) may serve for the good of others, Hebrews 1:14(ESV) and thus may come into communion with the innumerable angels in festal gathering. Hebrews12:22(ESV)

Please pray this for yourself, your family, your team in ministry, and for CVC as a whole. 
 
And lets's learn from Henry how to weave scripture together for powerful prayer that intercedes in a I John 5:14-15 way.
