Pray using scripture

When you pray using scripture, ask the Holy Spirit: "Please help me to understand and follow the Word of God."

Open the New Testament and begin with Matthew.

(A recommended order of praying with scripture: Gospels, Book of Acts, Epistles of Paul, Psalms and Proverbs)

Find a passage that speaks to you

Something Jesus would say to you and that you need to hear.

Read the passage and try to understand how it applies to your life. Ask the Holy Spirit, "Is there something in my life that needs to change? What does God want me to do? Please help me to please my Father."

The Psalms

You can find strength and healing. Pray the Psalms, especially Psalm 51, Psalm 121 and Psalm 91. They will be your beloved friends in time of trouble.

Pray for others

    Ask the Lord to reveal Himself to those who never had a chance to know Him and to experience His love.

    Say a prayer for those who ridicule Christians and those who wish us harm. Remember Christ told us to love our enemies.

End with words of praise, thanks and love for such a loving and merciful Father. You may wish to record your thoughts in a journal.
