PRAYERS QUOTING OLD TESTAMENT BOOKS – PART 3
O Adonai Yeshua Moshiach, Who is like the shadow of a great rock in a weary land, You see Your weak creatures weary of labour, weary of pleasure, weary of hope deferred, weary of self. In Your abundant compassion and fellow feeling with us, and with Your unspeakable tenderness, bring us, we pray, to Your rest. (1 Samuel 21).
O YHVH, You Who are the Author of love and the Lover of pure peace and affection, let all who are terrified by fears, afflicted by poverty, harassed by tribulation, worn down by illness, be set free by Your indulgent tenderness, rose up by renewal of life and cherished by Your daily compassion. (1 Samuel 30)
Almighty YHVH, Father of mercies and giver of comfort: Deal graciously, we pray, with all who mourn; that, casting their care on You, they may know the consolation of Your love; through Yeshua Moshiach our Adonai. (2 Samuel 1).
O blessed Adonai and Saviour, who has commanded us to love one another, grant us grace that, having received Your undeserved bounty, we may love everyone in You and for You. We ask Your compassion for all; but especially for the friends whom Your love has given to us. Love them, O Fountain of love and make them love You with all their heart, with all their mind and with all their soul, that they may speak and do only what is pleasing to You…. Do to them what is useful for them, according to Your will, that they would always and everywhere be ruled and protected by You, attaining everlasting life; and to You, with the Father and Ruach HaKodesh, be all honour and praise forever and ever. (2 Samuel 9).
May YHVH, Who pardoned David through Nathan when he confessed his sins, and Peter weeping bitterly for his denial, and the sinful woman weeping at his feet and the publican and the Prodigal Son, may the same Elohim forgive thee all things… . Have no further care for the sins which thou hast confessed, depart in peace. (2 Samuel 12).
O YHVH, the Source of all being and all joy, give us knowledge of ourselves, our powers and weaknesses, our spirit, our sympathy, our imagination, our knowledge, our truth; teach us by the standard of Your Word, by the judgments of others, by examinations of ourselves; give us the earnest desire to strengthen ourselves continually by study, by diligence, by prayer and meditation; and from all fancies, delusions and prejudices of habit or temper or society, save us and help us, we humbly beseech You, O Adonai. (1 Kings 3).
Almighty YHVH, enter our hearts and so fill us with Your love that, forsaking all evil desires, we may embrace You, our only good. Show us, in Your mercy Adonai Eloheinu, what You are to us. Say to our souls; I am Your salvation. Speak that we may hear. Our hearts are before you; open our ears; let us seek Your voice and cling to You. Do not hide Your face from us, we pray, O Adonai. Enlarge the narrowness of our souls that You may enter in. Repair the decayed mansions that You may dwell there. Hear us, O heavenly Father, for the sake of Your only Son, Yeshua Moshiach, our Adonai, who lives and reigns with You and Ruach HaKodesh, now and forever. (1 Kings 8).
Holy One, You promised the poor and needy ones that, when their tongues were parched and no water could be found, Your rivers would spring forth from the desert to relieve them. Today we thirst; bless us with Your living water. Break our drought; surge through our spirits, that we may live again. (1 Kings 17).
O Heavenly Father, the Father of all wisdom, understanding, and true strength, I humbly ask You to look mercifully upon me. Send Ruach HaKodesh into my heart, not only that I may understand according to Your wisdom how to bear temptation, but also how to defeat it. When I must join to fight in the field for the glory of Your Name, may I stand courageously in the confession of Your faith and truth, being strengthened by the defence of your right hand. May I continue to stand faithfully to the end of my life, through Yeshua Moshiach our Adonai. (1 Kings 22)
Father in heaven, draw our hearts to You, that our hearts may be where our treasures ought to be, that our minds and thoughts may look to Your Kingdom, whose citizens we are. Thus, when You shall call us hence, our departure may not be a painful separation from this world but a joyous meeting with You. Strengthen in our heart the conviction that in life, as in death, we belong to You. (2 Kings 2).
Gracious Father, we humbly beseech You for Your universal church. Fill it with all truth, in all truth with all peace. Where it is corrupt, purge it; and where it is in error, direct it; where it is superstitious, rectify it; where anything is amiss, reform it; where it is right, strengthen and confirm it; where it is in want, furnish it; where it is divided and rent asunder, make up its breaches, O Holy One of Israel. (2 Kings 12).
Adonai, teach me the art of patience while I am well and give me the use of it when I am sick. In that day either lighten my burden or strengthen my back. Make me, who so often in my health have discovered my weakness presuming on my own strength, to be strong in my sickness when I solely rely on Your assistance. (2 Kings 20).
Adonai Elohim, Abba, we know that we are dear children of Yours and that You are our beloved Father, not because we deserve it, nor could we ever merit it, but because our dear Adonai, Your only begotten Son, Yeshua Moshiach, wills to be our brother and of His own accord offers and makes this blessing known to us. Since we may consider ourselves his brothers and sisters and he regards us as such, You will permit us to become and remain Your children forever. (1 Chronicles 4)
O Adonai Yeshua Moshiach, Good Shepherd of the sheep, who came to seek the lost and to gather them to Your fold, have compassion on those who have wandered from You; feed those who hunger, cause the weary to lie down in your pastures, heal those who are broken in heart, and strengthen those who are weak, that we, relying on Your care and being comforted by Your love, may abide in Your guidance to our life’s end; through Yeshua Moshiach our Master. (1 Chronicles 11).
Almighty YHVH, Father of all mercies, we, Your unworthy servants, give You humble and heartfelt thanks for all Your goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all people. We bless You for our creation, preservation and all the blessings of this life, but above all for Your limitless love in the redemption of the world by our Adonai Yeshua Moshiach; for the means of grace and for the hope of glory. And, we humbly request, give us a sense of all Your mercies, that our heart may be openly thankful, and that we may show forth Your praise, not only with our lips but in our life, by giving up ourselves to Your service and by walking before You in Holiness and righteousness all our days, through Yeshua Moshiach our Saviour, to whom with You and Ruach HaKodesh be all honour and glory, world without end. (1 Chronicles 17).
Adonai Elohim, grant us grace to desire You with our whole heart, that so desiring, we may seek and find You; and so finding You, we may love You; and loving You, we may hate those sins from which You have redeemed us, for the sake of Maran Rabbeinu Yeshua Moshiach. (2 Chronicles 1).
Grant unto us, Almighty YHVH, the peace of Elohim that passes all understanding that we, amid the storms and troubles of this life, may rest in You, knowing that all things are within You. We are not only beneath Your eye but under Your care, governed by Your will and guarded by Your love. With a quiet heart may we see the storms of life, the cloud and the thick darkness, ever rejoicing to know that the darkness and the light are both alike to You. Guide, guard and govern us to the end, that none of us may fail to gain immortal life; through Yeshua Moshiach our Saviour. (2 Chronicles 14).
O gracious Father, who opens Your hand and fills all things living with plenteousness: Bless the lands and waters and multiply the harvests of the world; let Your Spirit go forth, that it may renew the face of the earth; show Your loving-kindness, that our land may give increase; and save us from selfish use of what You give, that men and women everywhere may give you thanks; through Moshiach our Adonai. (2 Chronicles 31).

Behold a company of guilty supplicants at Your footstool. O YHVH of all grace, work in us to will and to do Your good pleasure. Transform our being so that we may be the joy of many generations. Our understandings are darkened. Our heart is a heart of stone. Our very conscience also is defiled. Our affections are earthly and sensual. Open the eyes of our understanding. Purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living YHVH. Set our affections on things that are above. As He who has called us is Holy, so may we also be Holy in all manner of conversation and godliness. To the only wise YHVH, our Saviour, be glory and Majesty, forever and ever. (Numbers 21).
Bless all Your people, the flocks of Your fold. Send down into our hearts the peace of heaven, and grant us also the peace of this life. Give life to the souls of all of us, and let no deadly sin prevail against us or any of Your people. Deliver all who are in trouble, for You are our YHVH, who sets the captives free; Who gives hope to the hopeless, and help to the helpless; Who lifts up the fallen; And who is the haven of the shipwrecked. Give your pity, pardon, and refreshment to every Christian soul, whether in affliction or error. Preserve us in our pilgrimage through this life from hurt and danger. And grant that we may finish our lives. As Christians who are well-pleasing to You and free from sin And that we may have our portion and lot with all Your saints; For the sake of Yeshua Moshiach our Adonai and Saviour. (Numbers 33).
Enlighten us O Elohim, by Your Spirit, in the understanding of Your Word and grant us the grace to receive it in true fear and humility, that we may learn to put our trust in You, to fear and honour You, by glorifying Your Holy Name in all our life and to yield You the love and obedience which faithful servants owe to their master and children to their fathers, seeing it has led You to call us to the number of Your servants and children. (Deuteronomy 8).
Adonai, forgive me that when life’s circumstances lift me to the crest of the wave, I tend to forget Thee. Yet, like an errant child, I have blamed Thee with my every failure, even as I credit myself with every success. When my fears evaporate like the morning mist, then vainly I imagine that I am sufficient unto myself, that material resources and human resources are enough. I need Thee when the sun shines, lest I forget the storm and the dark. I need Thee when I am popular, when my friends and those who work beside me approve and compliment me. I need Thee more then, lest my head begin to swell. O YHVH, forgive me for my stupidity, my blindness in success, my lack of trust in Thee. Be Thou now my Saviour in success. Save me from conceit. Save me from pettiness. Save me from myself! And take this success, I pray, and use it for Thy glory. In Thy strength, I pray. (Deuteronomy 9).
We resign into Your hands our sleeping bodies, our cold hearths, and open doors. Give us to awaken with smiles; give us to labour smiling. As the sun returns in the east, so let our patience be renewed with dawn; as the sun lightens the world, so let our loving-kindness make bright this house of our habitation. (Deuteronomy 24).
Adonai Eloheinu teach us we pray, to ask rightly for the right blessings. Steer the vessel of our soul toward Your Heart, the tranquil Haven of all storm-tossed souls. Show us the way we should go. Renew a willing spirit within us. Let Your Spirit curb our wayward senses, and guide us to that which is our true good, to keep Your Laws and in all our works to rejoice in Your glorious and gladdening presence. For Yours is the glory and praise from all saints forever and ever. (Deuteronomy 30).
Grant us O Adonai, that with peace of mind we may face all that this new day is to bring. Help us to dedicate ourselves completely to Your Holy will. For every hour of this day, instruct and support us in all things. Whatever tidings we may receive during the day, teach us to accept tranquilly, in the firm conviction that all circumstances fulfil Your Holy Will. Govern our thoughts and feelings in all we do and say. When things unforeseen occur, let us not forget that everything comes from You. Teach us to behave sincerely and rationally toward every member of our family that we may bring confusion and sorrow to none. Bestow upon us our Adonai, strength to endure the fatigue of the day and to bear our part in all its passing events. Guide our will and teach us to pray, believe, hope, suffer, forgive and to love. (Joshua 1).
Adonai Elohim, great, eternal, wonderful in glory, cleanse us from our sins and from every thought displeasing to Thy goodness, cleanse our souls and bodies, our hearts and consciences that with a pure heart and a clear mind, with perfect love and calm hope, we may venture confidently and fearlessly to pray unto Thee, through Yeshua Moshiach our Adonai. (Joshua 7).
Give us O Adonai, a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection may drag downward; give us an unconquered heart, which no tribulation can wear out; give us an upright heart, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. Bestow upon us also, Adonai Elohim, understanding to know You, diligence to seek You, wisdom to find You and a faithfulness that may finally embrace You; through Yeshua Moshiach our Saviour (Joshua 12).
Be our Joy and Hope, our Strength and Life, our Shield and Shepherd, our Portion forever. For happy are we if we continue in the love in which loved us; Holy are we when we love You unwaveringly. Therefore, You whose Name and essence is love, enkindle our hearts, enlighten our understandings, sanctify our wills and fill all the thoughts of our hearts; for Yeshua Moshiach’s sake. (Joshua 24)
O You who are Love and who sees all the suffering, injustice and misery which reign in the world; look mercifully upon the poor, the oppressed and all who are heavy laden with labour and sorrow. Fill our hearts with deep compassion for those who suffer and hasten the coming of Your Kingdom of justice and truth. (Judges 3).
O Love unspeakable and full of glory, whose majesty is not to destroy, but to save, saves us from ourselves. Our past relentlessly pursues us. Days we thought dead live over again; deeds we deemed buried meet us on the way; be our defence, O YHVH. Fill up that which our lives have left behind. Undo that which we have done amiss. Repair the places we have wasted, bind the hearts we have wounded. Dry the eyes which we have flooded. Make the evil we have done work for well, so that we ourselves would not know it. Through Moshiach our Adonai. (Judges 16).
Almighty YHVH, look with compassion on all who are living without You and on the multitudes who even in this land are scattered like sheep without a shepherd, or who in strange lands are far from the church of their fathers. Visit them with Your salvation. O heavenly Father, Adonai of the harvest, hear our prayers and sends forth workers into Your harvest. Fit and prepare them by Your grace for the work of their ministry. Give them the Spirit of power, love and of a sound mind. Strengthen them to endure hardness, and grant that both by their life and doctrine they may set forth Your glory and set forward the salvation of all people; through Yeshua Moshiach our Adonai. (Ruth 2).
O Eternal YHVH, You have made me and sustained me; You have blessed me all the days of my life and have taken care of me through all variety of accidents. Nothing happens to me except that which is in Your will. O let me never accuse You foolishly, nor offend You by my impatience and haughty pride, nor weaken the hands of those who minister to my needs. Let me pass through the valley of tears and the valley of the shadow of death with safety and peace, with a meek spirit and a sense of Your divine mercy. Grant this, eternal YHVH, gracious Father, in the \\
ame of our ever blessed Saviour Yeshua. (1 Samuel 1).
Blessed are You O Adonai Almighty YHVH, to whom our inmost thoughts are revealed: You know our needs much better than we ourselves can ask or imagine. Sovereign Adonai and ever-loving Redeemer, in the richness of Your mercy, give us pure hearts to call upon Your holy Name; lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil and order all things for our good. Because all glory, honour and praise are Yours by right, Father, Son and Ruach HaKodesh, now and for ever, to the ages of ages. (1 Samuel 7).
PRAYERS QUOTING OLD TESTAMENT BOOKS – PART 1
We give You thanks, most gracious YHVH, for the beauty of earth and sky and sea; for the richness of mountains, plains, and rivers; for the songs of birds and the loveliness of flowers. We praise You for these good gifts and pray that we may safeguard them for our posterity. Grant that we may continue to grow in our grateful enjoyment of Your abundant creation, to the honour and glory of Your Name, now and for ever. (Genesis 2).
Teach me, Adonai: Not to murmur at the multitude of business and the shortness of time. Not to magnify undertaken duties by seeming to suffer under them, but to treat them all as liberties. Not to call attention to crowded work or petty fatigues. Not to gather encouragement from appreciation by others, lest this should interfere with the purity of my motives. Not to seek praise, respect, gratitude or regard from others. Not to let myself be placed in favourable contrast with another. (Genesis 4).
The rainbow bending in the sky bedecked with sundry hues. Is like the seat of YHVH on high and seems to tell this news; that as thereby He promised to drown the world no more. So by the blood which Moshiach has shed He will our health restore… Unto such joys for to attain YHVH grants us all His grace. And send us after worldly pain in Heaven to have a place, where we may still enjoy the light which never shall decay. Adonai, for this mercy lends us might to see that joyful day. (Genesis 9).
Almighty YHVH, who has given us the privilege of making our common requests to You and has promised through Your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in His name You will be in the midst of them: Fulfil now, O Adonai, the desires and petitions of Your servants as may be best for us; granting us in this world a knowledge of Your truth and life everlasting in the world to come. (Genesis 18).
Shall I despair of Your mercy, O ELOHIM? Far is that from me. I am Your workmanship, created in Yeshua Moshiach. Give me grace therefore, to await Your leisure and patiently to bear what You require. Most assuredly I know that You will deliver me when it pleases You, for I do not doubt or mistrust You. You know what is good for me better than I do. Hear me, O merciful Father! For the sake of Your Son, whom You willed to be a sacrifice for my sins; to whom, with You and Ruach HaKodesh be all honour and glory. (Genesis 22).
Adonai Elohim, You are with me and You can help me. You were with me when I was taken and You are with me now. You strengthen me. The King Most High I serve is everywhere; in heaven and earth and the sea, but He is above them all, for all live in Him: All were created by Him and by Him only do they remain. I will worship only the true YHVH; You will I carry in my heart; no one on earth shall be able to separate me from You. (Genesis 32).
Adonai, by Your dealings with us, whether of joy or pain, of light or darkness, let us be brought to You. Let us value no treatment of Your grace simply because it makes us happy or because it makes us sad, because it gives us or denies us what we want; but may all that You send us bring us to You; that knowing Your perfectness, we may be sure in every disappointment You are still loving us, in every darkness You are still enlightening us and in every enforced idleness You are giving us life, as in his death You gave life to Your Son, our Saviour, Yeshua Moshiach. (Genesis 39).
Our hope is in YHVH, who gives help. Let us call upon Him, and say: Look kindly on your children, Adonai. Adonai, our Elohim, You made an eternal covenant with Your people. Keep us ever mindful of Your mighty deeds. Let Your ordained ministers grow toward perfect love and preserve Your faithful people in unity by the bond of peace. Be with us in our work of building the earthly city, that in building we may not labour in vain. Send workers into Your vineyard, and glorify Your Name among the nations. (Exodus 3).
O YHVH, whose eternal providence has embarked our souls in our bodies, not to expect any port of anchorage on the sea of this world, to steer directly through it to Your glorious Kingdom, preserve us from the dangers that on all sides assault us and keep our affections still fitly disposed to receive Your Holy inspirations, that being carried strongly forward by Ruach HaKodesh we may happily arrive at last in the haven of eternal salvation, through our Adonai Yeshua Moshiach. (Exodus 14).
May the strength of YHVH pilot us? May the power of YHVH preserve us? May the wisdom of YHVH instruct us? May the hand of YHVH protect us? May the way of YHVH direct us? May the shield of YHVH defend us? (Exodus 19).
Grant me O Adonai, to know that which is worth knowing, to love that which is worth loving, to praise that which pleases You most and to esteem highly that which is precious to You. (Exodus 25).
O Eternal Light shine in our hearts; O Eternal Goodness delivers us from evil; O Eternal Power be our support; O Eternal Wisdom scatters our darkness; O Eternal Pity have mercy upon us, that with all our heart and mind and soul and strength. We may seek Your face and be brought by Your infinite mercy to Your Holy presence, through Yeshua Moshiach our Adonai. (Exodus 34).
I need You to teach me day by day, according to each day’s opportunities and needs. Give me O my Adonai, that purity of conscience which alone can receive, which alone can improve Your inspiration. My ears are dull, so that I cannot hear Your voice. My eyes are dim, so that I cannot see Your gifts. You alone can quicken my hearing and purge my sight and cleanse and renew my heart. Teach me to sit at Your feet and to hear Your Word. (Leviticus 6).
Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from Thy ways like lost sheep, we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts, we have offended against Thy Holy Laws, we have left undone those things which we ought to have done and we have done those things which we ought not to have done. But Thou O Adonai, have mercy upon us, spare thou those who confess their faults, restore thou those who are penitent, according to Thy promises declared unto mankind. In Yeshua Moshiach our Adonai; And grant, O most merciful Father, for His sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous and sober life, to the glory of Thy Holy Name. (Leviticus 16).
Grant us we pray, almighty and most merciful YHVH, fervently to desire, wisely to search out and perfectly to fulfil all that is well-pleasing to You this day. Order our worldly condition to the glory of Your Name; and, of all that You require us to do, grant us the knowledge, the desire and the ability, that we may so fulfil it as we ought; and may our path to You, we pray, be safe, straightforward and perfect to the end. (Leviticus 19).
Adonai, give us hearts never to forget Your love; but to remain there whatever we do, whether we sleep or wake, live or die or rise again to the life that is to come. For Your love is eternal life and everlasting rest; for this is life eternal to know You and Your infinite goodness. O let it’s flame never be quenched in our hearts; let it grow and brighten, till our whole souls are glowing and shining with its light and warmth. (Leviticus 25).
Almighty YHVH; You have made all things for us and us for Your glory. Sanctify our body and soul, our thoughts and our intentions, our words and actions that whatsoever we shall think speak or do. May by us be designed for the glorification of Your Name. And let no pride or self-seeking, no impure motive or unworthy praise, no little ends or low imagination stain our spirit, or profane any of our words and actions. But let our body be a servant to our spirit and both body and spirit servants of Yeshua Moshiach. (Numbers 3).
Bless all who worship You, from the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same. Of Your goodness, give us; with Your love, inspire us; by Your Spirit, guide us; by Your power, protect us; in Your mercy, receive us now and always. (Numbers 6).

Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not set your heart on putting him to death.
Proverbs 19:18 ESV
"Do not set your heart" doesn't mean "don't make it your goal to kill your son". It means "don't make up your mind that there is no hope and your son is lost forever". As long as he's alive, there's hope.
The KJV translates the Hebrew word mut as "crying", but it actually means death as the ESV has it. On the other hand, the ESV translates nephesh as "heart", when it actually means soul, life, or being. "Heart" still captures the intended meaning, though.
