"Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold the wondrous things out of Thy law" (Psalm 119:18). "The prayer of the upright is His delight" (Proverbs 15:8). "The priests... blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to His holy dwelling place, even to heaven" (2 Chronicles 30:27). "And they stoned Stephen calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge" (Acts 7:59,60).
God delights upright prayers;
He's touched by all our tears,
And so we cast on Him our cares,
Assured He cares and hears.
Sometimes when our heart is stirred,
A Scripture we recall
May capture then a prayerful word
That aptly says it all.
We may pray for opened eyes
That we may thus behold
That wondrous things of God so wise
That prophets had foretold.
We may pray that God will bless
The souls for whom we plead,
For peace in times of deep distress,
For help in time of need.
We pray for help, Lord, by Your favor,
That we may live with power
And glorify our Lord and Savior
Throughout our final hour.
