[This and the posts of Morning and Evening Prayer and the Mid-day Prayers were originally posted in a much different and abreviated form as a single post under the title "Shiloh Prayer Requests". Shiloh was the place where the tabernacle was set up for the first time in conquered Canaan, and where Hannah prayed for a son. That was my namesake, Samuel, who was brought back to Shiloh as a young boy to serve God.
I thought it convenient for my own use to put together an editable, copy-paste friendly form of these prayers. I also thought others might find them useful, much of what I have so far found on line being difficult to follow for anyone not familiar with them. These posts are a work in progress.]
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. " 2 Chronicles 7:14
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee." Psalm 122:6
"Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks." I Thessalonians 5:17-18
"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed . The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." James 5:17
