THE SANCTUARY DOCTRiNE EXPLAINS THE WAY OF SALVATION OF THE GOSPEL (Part 20)
A Sanctuary-focused Prayer of Petition, Gratitude, and Blessing:
“Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let me cry unto Thee. Hide not Thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline Thine ear unto me: in the day when I call, answer me speedily. For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned up as an hearth. My heart is smitten and withered like grass, so that I forget to eat my bread. By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones cleave to my skin.” Ps. 102: 1-5, KJV.
“He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer. This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord.
FOR HE HATH LOOKED DOWN FROM THE HEIGHT OF HIS SANCTUARY: FROM HEAVEN DID THE LORD BEHOLD THE EARTH; to hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those who are appointed to death, to declare the name of the Lord in Zion, and His praise in Jerusalem.” vs 17-21.
Therefore, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits; who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases: who redeemeth thy life from destruction, who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies; who satisfieth thy mouth with good things, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” Ps. 103:1-5.
“Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that FEAR HIM, for He knoweth our FRAME; He remembers that we are DUST. As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field so he flourishes for the wind passes over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
But the MERCY of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting unto them that FEAR Him, and His righteousness unto children’s children; TO SUCH AS KEEP HIS COVENANT, AND TO THOSE WHO REMEMBER HIS COMMANDMENTS TO DO THEM. The Lord hath prepared HIS THRONE IN THE HEAVENS, and His kingdom RULETH over all.” Ps. 103: 1-5, 13-19.
“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditations of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord my Strength and my Redeemer” Ps. 19:14. In Jesus mighty name. AMEN.
