1 Kings 8: 22-26 - 2 Chronicles 6: 12-17 Solomon remind's God of His promises... Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in front of the entire congregation of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven and Prayed.
1 Kings 8: 27-30 & 2 Chronicles 6: 18-21 Solomon pleads for forgiveness
1 Kings 8: 31-32 & 2 Chronicles 6: 22-23 Solomon prays for God's justice
1 Kings 8: 33-40 & 2 Chronicles 6: 24-31 Solomon prays for mercy
1 Kings 8: 41-43 & 2 Chronicles 6: 32-33 Solomon asks God to answer the foreigner's prayer
1 Kings 8: 44-45 & 2 Chronicles 6: 34-35 Solomon prays for victory
1 Kings 8: 46-53 & 2 Chronicles 6: 36-39 Solomon prays for the Israelites
1 Kings 8: 54-61 Solomon prays a blessing and exhortation.
verse 59-61 May my words I have made my petition with before the Lord be near the Lord our God day and night, so that He may uphold His servant's cause and the cause of His people Israel, as each day requires and so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God. There is no other! Let your heart be completely devoted to the Lord our God to walk in His ordinances and to keep His commands, as it is today.
2 Chronicles 6: 40-42 Solomon's final petitions.
Solomon pray is powerful! I could just see this man on bended knees for Israel. It would be wonderful today if all our governments did this for their nation coming before the Lord and praying.
Blessings
Kathleen.
