How to Use "The Foundation Blocks of Biblical Prayer." A Lesson from Seven.

Free Range Preacher on Prayer

My grand-babies have been visiting the last couple of weeks, so I thought it would be a great time to have a little lesson on "The Foundation Blocks of Biblical Prayer" for children at this moment in their lives.

I liked the idea of illustrating how one might use a prayer journal, following the format outlined in the "Foundations of Biblical Prayer," to learn and/or teach prayer.

The last thing quickly: I was so blessed as I went through the journals, the kids, for a couple of reasons. The first is that the insights the kids came up with were theirs. They answered the questions with little or no insight given to me.

Seven, in our run-through for the episode, jumped to his feet when he made the connection between, 'Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing;" Psalm 30:11a and the answer to his prayer, "Thou hast loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness" Psalm 30:11b

It was such a joy for this old man to see him make the connection between his worried prayer and God's praise through His answer to that prayer.

Seven applies:

"To Thee, O LORD, I called, And to the Lord I made supplication: 9 "What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise Thee? Will it declare Thy faithfulness? 10 "Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to me; O LORD, be Thou my helper." 11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness; 12 That my soul may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to Thee forever."

Psalm 30:8-12
