- I Prayed:
- "Righteousª [art] thou,¹ O LORD,ª when¹ I pleadª° with¹ thee: yet¹ let me talkª° with¹ thee of [thy] judgments:ª Wherefore¹ doth the wayª of the wickedª prosper?ª° [wherefore] are all¹ they happyª° that deal very² treacherously?ª°¹" {Jer 12:1} + "And Jacobª said,ª° O Godª of my fatherª Abraham,ª and Godª of my fatherª Isaac,ª the LORDª which saidstª° unto¹ me, Returnª° unto thy country,ª and to thy kindred,ª and I will deal wellª° with¹ thee: ... And thou¹ saidst,ª° I will surely²° do thee good,ª°¹ and makeª°¹ thy seedª as the sandª of the sea,ª which¹ cannot¹ be numberedª° for multitude.ª¹" {Gen 32:9-12} + "Then wentª° kingª Davidª in, and satª° beforeª the LORD,²¹ and he said,ª° Who¹ [am] I,¹ O Lordª GOD?ª and what¹ [is] my house,ª that¹ thou hast broughtª° me hitherto?ª¹ ... And now,¹ O LORDª God,ª the wordª that¹ thou hast spokenª° concerning¹ thy servant,ª and concerning¹ his house,ª establishª° [it] for² ever,ª¹ and doª° as¹ thou hast said.ª°" {2Sm 7:18-25} + "And they shall say,ª° Thisª landª that was desolateª° is become¹ like the gardenª of Eden;ª and the wasteª and desolateª° and ruinedª° citiesª [are become] fenced,ª° [and] are inhabited.ª° ... Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª I will yet¹ [for] this¹ be enquired²° of¹ by the houseª of Israel,ª to doª° [it] for them; I will increaseª° them with menª like a flock.ª" {Ezk 36:35-37} + "Be carefulª° for nothing;ª butª inª every thingª by prayerª andª supplicationª withª thanksgivingª let²° yourª requestsª be made knownª° untoª God.ª ... Andª the¹ peaceª of God,ª which² passethª° allª understanding,ª shall keepª° yourª heartsª andª mindsª² throughª Christª Jesus.ª" {Php 4:6-7}
