Prayer The power of prayer is indisputable. Millions of Christians worldwide testify to it's many benefits. Scientific studies prove it's effectiveness. Through prayer we open a direct line of communication to God. Prayer gives us the way and the means to move closer to the Lord. The scripture below shows us how to pray and what will happen if we do. Reciting this scripture aloud during times of trouble will guide our prayer life and help us through every difficulty. Studying this scripture and doing what it says will deepen our relationship with Jesus. As the Apostle John wrote, "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us whatever we ask we know that we have what we asked of him. (1 John 5:14-15) Job 22:27 You will pray to him, and he will hear you... 2 Ch. 7:14 ...if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Ps. 4:3 Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD will hear when I call to him. Ps. 5:1-3 Give
ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing. Listen to my cry
for help, my King and my God, Ps. 34:17 The
righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; Ps. 55:17 Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice. Ps. 65:2 O you who hear prayer, to you all men will come. Ps. 91:15 He shall call upon me and I will answer him. Ps. 116:1-2 I
love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
Because he turned his ear to me, Ps. 145:18-19 The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. Pr. 15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous. Isa. 26:9 My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. Isa. 30:19 ...How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you. Isa. 55:6 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Isa. 58:9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. Isa. 65:24 Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear. Matt. 6:6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Matt. 7:7-8 7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Matt. 21:22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Rom. 12:12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. John 14:13-14 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. John 15:17 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. John 16:23-24 In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. James 5:13-16 Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Eph. 6:18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. 1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer... 1 John 5:14-15 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us whatever we ask we know that we have what we asked of him. Jude 20 But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.
