Praise – V5 Great and Awesome God
No Thanksgiving.
Confession – V6 Confessing the sins of the sons of Israel (acted corruptly, not kept the commandments
Intercession – 9-11  Gather His people to the place where he had chosen to cause His name to dwell
Supplication – V6 Be attentive V11 make your servant successful

Do you pray for success in your endeavors or do you stop short?
 Is there a way to be confident that the success we are seeking is in harmony with God’s will?
