morning Bible class.  There are other great prayers, but these are 6.  Moses' 2nd Prayer for Israel's Sin 25.  Nehemiah's Prayer for Jerusalem's

and lessons learned from each prayer.  One example is the 20.  Hezekiah's Prayer for Healing 40.  Prayers of Worship in Heaven
prayer of Jesus in John 17.  Be sure to start reading in John
13 and read all four chapters before trying to understand
Jesus' prayer.

Be sure to follow up each week after the study with the

prayer exercises at the end of the pamphlet.  These are
designed to help you practice what you study.  If you use the
prayer exercises, they can help you develop a rich, faithful
prayer life.

God bless you in your effort to learn from these prayers, and deepen
your trust in the One whose ears are open to the cries of his people.
Pray without ceasing!
