May the Lord fulfill all your petitions!

" May the Lord fulfill all your petitions! " Psalm 20:5

This language may be properly used, when the petitions referred to are plainly in accordance with the word and will of God.

Awakened one, earnestly asking for Divine illumination, for a new heart and right spirit, and for grace to trust alone in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation—"May the Lord fulfill all your petitions."

Believer , earnestly coveting the best gifts, hungering and thirsting after righteousness, asking for an increase of faith, and hope, and love; and fervently praying for conformity to the image of Christ—"May the Lord fulfill all your petitions."

Afflicted one, asking for Divine support, for submission and patience, and for deliverance in the Lord's time and way—"May the Lord fulfill all your petitions."

Christian parent , earnestly praying for the salvation of your children, and asking for grace to teach and train them aright, and to set them an example worthy of their imitation—"May the Lord fulfill all your petitions."

O Lord, teach me what to pray for, and how to pray aright—that You Yourself may say to me, as You did to an earnest applicant of old, "Be it unto you even as you will."

"The humble suppliant cannot fail
To have his wants supplied;
Since He for sinners intercedes,
Who once for sinners died!"
