Praying Powerful Prayers

HOW TO PRAY SCRIPTURE OVER YOUR LIFE

In a time of crisis, we often hear, “All we can do is pray,” or “ I will be praying for you.” Acknowledging the need to pray is a wonderful thing. But too often, we think about prayer only after realizing we can’t fix the issue ourselves. When that is our perspective, we most likely see prayer as a last resort instead of a priority.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 says to “Continually be prayerful.” The word continually means “without intermission, incessantly, without ceasing.” It doesn’t suggest that we reserve prayer as our last-ditch effort when nothing else seems to work. Prayer is a constant connection and communication with God. God invites us to talk to Him about the big and small things in our lives. Instead of waiting for a crisis, pray and connect with God before the storm arises.

Do you quickly run out of words when you’re praying? Simply open up the Bible to a passage that applies to your situation, and pray that scripture over your life. Praying through Scripture gives us a new perspective and new words to speak to God. It helps us pray boldly, honestly, and confidently.

Here are Scripture references we can pray through at different times of our lives:

Hope - Isaiah 40:28-31

Protection- Psalm 91

Strength - 2 Timothy 1:7

Fear - Deuteronomy 31:6

Finances - Proverbs 3:9-10

Trust - Proverbs 3:5-6

PRAYER

Lord,

Thank You for always being with me. I’m sorry that I often go to You as a last resort, instead of seeking You first. Help me to look to You before anything or anyone else. Bless my prayer time that I may come closer to You and see the power of Your Word in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

‭‭2 Chronicles 7:13-15 NIV‬‬
[13] “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, [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 I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. [15] Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.

God Has Eternity For Us

There’s an old saying attributed to Benjamin Franklin that says there are only two certainties in life—death and taxes. Of all the people who’ve ever lived or will ever live on this earth, 100% of them will die. In case math isn’t your strong suit, that means all of us.

Everyone will spend their eternity somewhere. But many don’t really consider this truth while living on earth. There are those who think life in the here and now is why we’re here. They think this is their home. But as followers of Jesus, we know this isn’t our home. The Apostle Paul tells us that our “citizenship is in heaven” (Philippians 3:20 NIV). We weren’t made for earth but to dwell on earth temporarily for God’s glory.

It feels odd to say that a person’s life is a temporary time frame, doesn’t it? Surely, someone who lives 80 or 90 years on this earth has lived a good, long life. Well, when you measure that next to eternity, it’s not long at all. So, how long is eternity? Very long. It’s actually something way beyond our mental grasp. It’s like infinity with numbers and it just keeps going and never stops. That’s eternity.

For the person who has accepted Jesus as Savior and made Him Lord of their life, eternity in heaven with God is an awe-inspiring and hope-filled reality. Yet, even with the joy of eternity in our future, the current stresses and worries in this world can often sidetrack us and keep our eyes on what’s happening in the here and now. That’s why Paul told us in 2 Corinthians 4:17 that our “present troubles are small and won’t last very long.” And then a verse later he goes on to say that we should “fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen,” which is our future in heaven, because the “things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.” What hope this should bring us!

One of the most popular Christian hymns is Amazing Grace. The final verse of the song says:

When we’ve been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise, than when we first begun.

Imagine that! After 10,000 years into our eternity, we haven’t even scratched the surface of what’s ahead. It’s absolutely mind-boggling! What’s happening in the here and now is just a small portion in our lives that won’t even be noticeable once we’re 10,000 years into our eternity.

Let’s adjust our sights from earth’s struggles to the hope of heaven for when we do, all else will pale in comparison to what God has in store for those of us who call Him our Lord.

As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Ephesians 2:1‭-‬10 NIV

As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work

May God bless his word.

Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not
