Piper's IOUS Prayer

I think the following prayer outline is helpful. I got it from a message John Piper delivered at the New Attitude Conference that is available on the Sovereign Grace website for free download. It presents a way to pray (using Psalms) as you approach the Scriptures:

I — Incline my heart to Your testimonies (Psalm 119:36)
O — Open my eyes that I might behold wonderful things in Your Word (Psalm 119:8)
U — Unite my heart to fear Your name (Psalm 86:11)
S — Satisfy me in the morning... (Psalm 90:14)

The "Open my eyes" verse should be Psalm 119:18 (instead of verse 8)
