Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities. (Psalms 141:5) Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned. (Nehemiah 1:6) Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. (Psalms 33:22) Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us (Hebrews 12:1). Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man. (Colossians 4:6) Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. (1 Peter 3:7) Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. (Psalms 52:7) LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. (Isaiah 26:16) Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption (Psalms 130:7). Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about. (Psalms 32:10) |
