1. Patterned Prayer
Prayer is a conversation with God, a
pattern of communication, not a formula
or push this button – or ring this bell type
activity. Yet sometimes we might need to
use a "method" to freshen up our prayer
time. We can pray the Psalms or other
Scriptures, or use the ACTS method
(Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving,
and Supplication).
The most popular prayer, The Lord’s
Prayer, contains a remarkably
encouraging and energizing pattern

be opened.

15. Patterned Prayer

man makes him slow to anger, And his glory is

seven.

16. Patterned Prayer
1. God’s Protection – Do not lead us into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one
 Temptation = allurements toward sin, or trials
and difficulties of believers
 James 1:12-15 (NKJV) 12Blessed is the man who
endures temptation; for when he has been
approved, he will receive the crown of life
which the Lord has promised to those who love
Him. 13Let no one say when he is tempted, “I
am tempted by God”; for God cannot be
tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt
anyone. 14But each one is tempted when he is
drawn away by his own desires and enticed.
15
Then, when desire has conceived, it gives
birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown,
brings forth death.

17. Temptation
 1 John 2:16-17 (NKJV) 16For all that is in the
world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is
of the world. 17And the world is passing away,
and the lust of it; but he who does the will of
God abides forever.
 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV) 13No temptation has
overtaken you except such as is common to
man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you
to be tempted beyond what you are able, but
with the temptation will also make the way of
escape, that you may be able to bear it.

18. Patterned Prayer
1. God’s Preeminence – For Yours is the kingdom and
the power and the glory forever. Amen.
 1 Chronicles 29:11-13 (NLT) 11Yours, O LORD, is
the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory,
and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on
earth is yours, O LORD, and this is your kingdom.
We adore you as the one who is over all things.
12
Riches and honor come from you alone, for you
rule over everything. Power and might are in your
hand, and it is at your discretion that people are
made great and given strength. 13“O our God, we
thank you and praise your glorious name!

19. Patterned Prayer
Matthew 6:9-13 (NKJV) 9In this manner,
therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name. 10Your kingdom

heaven. 11Give us this day our daily bread.
12
And forgive us our debts, As we forgive
our debtors. 13And do not lead us into
temptation, But deliver us from the evil
one. For Yours is the kingdom and the
power and the glory forever. Amen.
