by Paul Tautges | January 7, 2013 8:40 am
Matthew Henry’s A Way to Pray[1] again has a wonderful section instructing us how to pray biblically-informed prayers, specifically, how to plead with the Holy Spirit to convict us of sin’s cancerous nature, and the constant havoc it works in our lives.
- Consider the sinfulness of sin. Meditate on Romans 7:13; 1 John 3:4; Luke 19:14; Exod 5:2; Num 15:30; Neh 9:26.
- Recognize the foolishness of sin. Meditate on Psalm 69:5; Titus 3:3;; 1 Tim 6:9; Prov 22:15; Job 11:12; 2 Sam 24:10; Psa 73:22.
- Admit the unprofitableness of sin. Meditate on Matthew 16:26; Job 33:27; Romans 6:21.
- Beware of the deceitfulness of sin. Meditate on Obadiah 3; Romans 7:11; Hebrews 3:13; James 1:14.
- Recognize the offence sin has committed against a Holy God. Meditate on Romans 2:23; Isaiah 1:4; Hosea 12:14; 2 Samuel 11:27; Ezekiel 6:9; Psalm 95:9, 10; Isaiah 63:10; Ephesians 4:30.
- Become fully aware of the damage sin has done to your own soul. Meditate on Isaiah 50:1; Proverbs 8:36; Isaiah 59:2; Titus 1:15; Jeremiah 2:19; Romans 1:24, 26, 28; Proverbs 14:9
