These prayers come from the scriptures in 1 and 2 Peter, and they reveal to us God’s own will for his people. After all, this is what Peter was writing to his letters recipients and said, do this, have this, know this. Then we also know and understand that this is what God has for us, that is, his people today. As then, also now.

And because there are scriptural prayers, we can count on these prayers because they come from his own word. This is his will, his testimony, his covenant.

And so in prayer, we can approach the throne of grace and ask this or that be done according to his own word.
