The Word of God is powerful. The Word of God is alive. The Word of God is majestic. It never comes back empty but accomplishes what God sends it out to do. It makes things happen. When you speak it, it penetrates at times and it is rejected at times, but there is always an outcome. Those who reject it, it will speak against them in the Day of Judgment. There is no getting around the Word of God. It is meaningful and righteous. It divides and exposes and brings life to those who receive it.
For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways,
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither,
but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud,
that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void,
but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:8-11
God is His Word. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. John 1:1
Keeping in mind that God’s word accomplishes what He sends it forth to do, pray God’s word.
Praying the Lord’s prayer is always a go-to and a good example.
It has all the elements of what God is looking for in prayer: forgiveness, blessing, honoring Jesus as Lord and more. It is how the Lord told His disciples to pray.
When you speak it and pray it, you are praying God’s word,
so needless to say, The Lord’s Prayer is His word going forth.
As you read the Bible, be mindful of different verses that stand out. Remember them, write them down.
Let His word fill your prayer life. There are many that can be applicable for various situations.
Here are some examples, but they are only samples that can be used. You will see many more as you read. Memorize them and know as you pray His word, He will accomplish what you ask if you ask according to His will.
What God spoke to Paul as he went forth to preach the gospel to the Gentiles:
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God,
that they may receive forgiveness of sins,
and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in Me. Acts 26:18
Sample Prayer:
Thank you Lord for opening their eyes and turning them from the power of Satan unto God that they may receive forgiveness of sins and inheritance among them which are sanctified in faith that is in You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
This is a very powerful prayer for the unsaved.
Here is another: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
Sample Prayer:
Thank You, Lord that when I confess my sins, you are faithful and just to forgive me of my sins and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Matthew 6:34
Sample Prayer:
Thank you Lord that I should not be concerned with tomorrow, because tomorrow is not to be worried about now. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7
Sample Prayer:
Thank You, Lord, that I can cast my cares upon You for you care for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
Sample Prayer:
Help me Lord not to be concerned about anything, but by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let my requests be known unto You and Your peace, which passes all understanding will keep my heart and mind through Your Son Christ Jesus. in Jesus’ name, Amen.
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.. Romans 10:17
Since that is the case, it makes sense that praying His word will also help us remember that He really does answer prayer and He is performing His word.
These are not formulas. They are to help us remember His word and the power that is behind His word. He is faithful to hear and will honor our prayers that we pray according to His will.
