  3. Acknowledge God's Mercies with THANKS!
  4. Bring our Desires Before our Heavenly Father

1. Learn the Will of God (It's a lifetime task; just do a little each day.)

The Catechism says our desires must be "for things agreeable to His will."
We began to learn God's general will here.

Man's Chief End is to

  • Glorify God
  • Enjoy Him forever

Pray that God will be glorified throughout the earth, and that we will live in peace.

We can learn more generally about God's design for prayer here.

Larger Catechism, Question 186:
What rule has God given for our direction in the duty of prayer?
Answer: The whole Word of God is of use to direct us in the duty of prayer; but the special rule of direction is that form of prayer which our Savior Christ taught his disciples, commonly called the Lord's Prayer.

In Hebrew thought, the day began in the evening, with morning following the night.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
