'If Possible.'
Acts 8:22.
a) Repent therefore of this wickedness of yours,
b) And pray to the Lord that,
c) If possible,
d) The intent of your heart may be forgived you.
(This QT reminds me of the important words ... If Possible)
PRAY: Considering carefully the words - If Possible.

'Keep Quiet And Listen.'
Acts 15:12.
a) The whole group kept quiet
b) And listened to Barnabas and Paul
c) While they explained all the miraculous signs and wonders
d) God had done among the Gentiles through them.
(Through this Second one I understand that it is sometimes important to Keep Quiet And Listen)
PRAY: To Keep Quiet And Listen Well.

Chris.
I am sure that presumptious prayer is offensive to God. Some of the "teachings" that I have heard about prayer make me cringe inside. We need to clearly follow the Teachings of the Lord Jesus and the Bible about prayer, these Teachings are laid out in God's Word for us! It is always good to be quiet before we pray so that we can prepare our hearts.
