on prayer
i started compiling a list of Bible verse to help my prayer life. as time went by i shared it with several friends, and some have asked me to post it here.
i have been waiting to polish it before posting it, but with all the business of life i am not sure when i will have time to polish this.
so here goes a rough list of Bible verses that have helped my prayer life, hopefully in a not too distant future i will add some commentary on each verse and some make it more artistic (or artsy).
hope you find it helpful

11 Give us this day our daily bread,
12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Luke 18:1,7,8 And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. 7 And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? 8 I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
Hebrews 4:16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Matthew 6:9-13 9 Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread,
12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Exodus 34:6-7 The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness,

Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,
1 John 5:14,15 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.
James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Prayer is te opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Not in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to receive Him. Prayer does not bring God down to us, it brings us up to Him. P94 steps to Christ.
Don’t know how to pray? Start praying, you’ll learn on the way.
Don’t keep God in a glass box to be used only in case of emergencies.
Preachers should pray more than anyone else.
Inspiration is a wind that blows where it pleases”
but it seems to have a preference for those who practice often.

1 Samuel 16:7 The #Lord #looks at the #heart. #bible
God would have his children appreciate his works, and delight in the simple, quiet beauty with which he has adorned our earthly home. He is a lover of the beautiful, and above all that is outwardly attractive he loves beauty of character; he would have us cultivate purity and simplicity, the quiet graces of the flowers.

The book of Esther explains how we experience God’s presence in our lives even when we don’t see him or hear his voice.
