II Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall 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.
I Corinthians 14:15
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I
will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
Ephesians 6:18
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all
perseverance and supplication for all saints;
James 5:13-18
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Is any sick among
you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with
oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall
raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess [your] faults
one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer
of a righteous man availeth much. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he
prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three
years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth
her fruit.
Job 22:27
Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
I John 5:14-15
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will,
he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the
petitions that we desired of him.
John 17:1-26
These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come;
glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh,
that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal,
that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have
glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now,
O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the
world was. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine
they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all
things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which
thou gavest me; and they have received [them], and have known surely that I came out from thee,
and they have believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but
for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in
the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own
name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we [are]. While I was with them in
the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is
lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy
fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they
are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out
of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even
as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent
me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify
myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in
us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have
given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may
be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them,
as thou hast loved me.
Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may
behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the
world.
O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known
that thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare [it]: that the
love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Luke 11:1-13
And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his
disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And he
said unto them, When ye pray, say,
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as
in heaven, so in earth.
Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that
is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and
say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me,
and I have nothing to set before him? And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not:
the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of
his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. And I say unto you, Ask, and
it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For
every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall
be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone?
or if [he ask] a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will
he offer him a scorpion?
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall
[your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Luke 18:1
And he spoke a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.
Matthew 6:5-13
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: for they love to pray standing
in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say
unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to
thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
ut when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall
be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth
what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in
earth, as [it is] in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead
us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Philippians 4:6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your
requests be made known unto God.
Psalms 4:1-8
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me [when I was] in distress;
have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. O ye sons of men, how long [will ye turn] my glory into
shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, [and] seek after leasing? Selah.
But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I
call unto him. Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be
still. Selah.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. [There be] many that say,
Who will shew us [any] good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. Thou hast
put gladness in my heart, more than in the time [that] their corn and their wine increased. I
will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
Psalms 42:1-11
To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.
As the heart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul
thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? My tears have
been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where [is] thy God? When I
remember these [things], I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went
with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept
holyday. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and [why] art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in
God: for I shall yet praise him [for] the help of his countenance. O my God, my soul is cast
down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites,
from the hill Mizar.
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone
over me. [Yet] the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his
song [shall be] with me, [and] my prayer unto the God of my life. I will say unto God my rock,
Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
[As] with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me,
Where [is] thy God? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me?
hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
Psalms 55:16-17
As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me. Evening, and morning, and at noon,
will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
Romans 8:26-27
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we
ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh
intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.
I Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing.
I Timothy 2:1
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of
thanks, be made for all men;
