Lifting Up Hands In Prayer
Memory Verse:
First Timothy chapter two verse eight
"Therefore i desire that the men pray everywhere,
lifting up holy hands,
without wrath and doubting"
Gem Thought:
"Why not pray as if you had a conscience void of offense,
and could come to the throne of grace in humility,
yet with holy boldness,
lifting up holy hands
without wrath and doubting?
Do not bow down and cover of your faces as if there were something that you
desired to conceal;
but lift up your eyes toward the heavenly sanctuary,
were Christ your mediator stands before the Father
to present your prayers,
mingled with His own merit, and spotless righteousness,
as fragrant incense."
