- You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it.
- And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.
- Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord.
Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. - But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me,
and through each night I sing his songs,
praying to God who gives me life. - Hear my prayer, O Lord;
listen to my plea!
Answer me because you are faithful and righteous. - Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit.
- Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!
- The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right,
and his ears are open to their prayers.
But the Lord turns his face
against those who do evil. - In my distress I prayed to the Lord,
and the Lord answered me and set me free. - For I know that as you pray for me and the Spirit of Jesus Christ helps me, this will lead to my deliverance.
- Pray like this:
Our Father in heaven,
may your name be kept holy.
May your Kingdom come soon.
May your will be done on earth,
as it is in heaven. - So we fasted and earnestly prayed that our God would take care of us, and he heard our prayer.
- May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing to you,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven.
- In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened;
he saved me from all my troubles. - But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
- But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too.
- But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him.
- When Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before!
- After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness.
- So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.
- Go back to Hezekiah, the leader of my people. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your ancestor David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you, and three days from now you will get out of bed and go to the Temple of the Lord.’
- But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!
- Arise, O Lord!
Punish the wicked, O God!
Do not ignore the helpless! - I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors,
for you have given me wisdom and strength.
You have told me what we asked of you
and revealed to us what the king demanded.
