When you begin to pray scripturally based prayers, you’ll get the answers you need. Here’s why: the Bible is God’s Word, and He always keeps His Word. Here are some scenarios you may encounter in life, and ideas of how to pray scripturally based prayers: 1) When you don’t have the answer. ‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know’ (v. 3). 2) When you’re worried and under stress. ‘Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid’ (John 14:27 NKJV). 3) When you need spiritual insight. ‘When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak of His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come’ (John 16:13 NKJV). 4) When you need power for service. ‘He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do…that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it’ (John 14:12-14 NKJV). 5) When you need God’s blessing on your efforts. ‘I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing’ (Ezekiel 34:26 NKJV). Amazing change can happen when we use God’s Word and His promises in our prayers to Him. Why not try it?
