Teach Us to Pray
Abba, Please teach us to pray, we must learn Your ways that lead us to seeing Your Face. Some of us are not skilled in the art of words, for our tongue mixes our thoughts into a maze of words entangled in our mouths. Yet some have grown complacent and a selfish flesh an embezzler of our time spent with You. Still some have grown lazy and apathy has set in as our bones return to dust. We are men who know not how to express the deepest emotions that are hidden deep inside our soul. We are men who know not how to express the fears that tear our heart apart and cause our faith to grow colder than ice.
In these moments we have no colorful stylistically expressions of words we could speak. Nor do we wish to recite those churchly phrases we so often throw around as if to impress one another. Nor do we have a finely tuned delicately molded prayer to lavish at Yeshua’s feet. Abba let us not offend You when we confine ourselves to repeating petitions as our prayers unwind like an old cuckoo-clock. Please forgive us, for far to long our prayers have been a children’s wish list at Christmas of I wants. Abba, we have been held captive to long help us be free of these rusty chains! Abba, could it be we are praying more when we say the least?
Abba, should Your men not have a desirous pleading for Your Will to be done here now on earth as it is in Heaven? Abba, help us to be content with our daily bread, as You keep us from evil. For You are the all-powerful, all-knowing, always loving, always present God that we surrender to. Take our will and remake it into Your will do with us as You desire. Please give the men of God the courage to take captive the next stronghold of hell, give us boldness and vision to expand our boundaries, increase our Faith to seek adventure in finding new horizons. Most of all help us to love You more every day and love Your Will for our lives.
Abba, turn Your face upon us and reach out with Your Holy Spirit as we try to draw near to you. Abba Father, we have been that clanging cymbal and sounding brass far to long. By Your Holy Spirit we shall once more love Your Laws and love and desire Your will for our lives. We will repent and love one another, we will again love our enemies, we shall seek first Your Kingdom. We shall repent and will once more become Men of One Accord for this is Your Will. Then the Holy Spirit shall sound from Heaven and once more rush in as a mighty wind to the men who are of one accord. The Fire of heaven shall sit upon your men of the Church as many signs and wonders appear. Blind shall see, the lame shall dance, and as the dead rise to life to worship the King. All Glory and Honor Belongs to Yeshua the King of Kings! Father Abba we seek Your Face!
Amen!
Amen and amen! Sounds like the prayer of a man ready for revival. I am one of those men. Every account in the Bible and in history proves out that one voice or “as one man” or “in one accord” is the recipe for a movement of the Holy Spirit. Just as in Noah’s flood, the water did not start as rain; it started as the waters under the earth sprang forth. When our prayers, like Gideon’s trumpets start to sound at the same time in the same note, then the Spirit will pour out like “living waters” through us and then, and only then, will God meet us with the latter day rains! The combination of the Spirit within pouring out and the Spirit raining down on us will cause a revival in this earth that will eclipse even the New Testament Church and will cover the land. Both individually and corporately we should always remember, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you!”
Awesome prayer from the Spirit; thanks for sharing…

Gideon, We are one and I know we will see the revival for I shall not stop asking till, Amen!
Very Strong and beautiful prayer. And very true points you have presented. God,s Glory!
Stronger and more beautiful when two or three agree, Amen!
Amen! How vital it is to reach out to our heavenly Father.
Step out and we shall touch His face together, Amen!
Selah! Amen…
Singing on the same cord, Amen!
Love the way you built and then broke through in this! Preach it and Pray it James!!
Lori, I never meant to be preaching anything with this post. At least once a week I have prayed this prayer starting in 2009. The wording has changed from time to time but the heart of the request is the same. Now has come the time for all who call themselves by the name of Christ Jesus to join in a Prayer of One Accord. This is an invitation to all the world to climb out of the trenches and step into No Man’s Land and become Men and Women of One Accord, Amen.
2 Chronicles 7:14. This may not refer to a specific country as it did to Israel of old, but if all who claim the name of Christ would begin by departing from iniquity ourselves, what a wonderful healing would take place in the churches!
Yes in this time we now live it is for the Bride of Christ. Can you see Her there standing all in white embracing Her Messiah?
What a beautiful prayer! Amen!!! Thank you so much for sharing and many, many blessings to you…Robin
Will you and yours pray with me in One Accord, Amen?
Absolutely!!!!
