What is your favorite prayer from Scripture? What is the value of praying God’s Word?
-
“for You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are Your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in Your book were written , every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God! How vast the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with You.” Psalm 139:13-18.
I think the value of praying Scripture is that we know that it is a “pre-approved” example of what our own heartfelt prayers should sound like. The authenticity, the laments, the joy and thankfulness in prayer were all God-breathed inspiration written down by men that were filled with the Holy Spirit.

psalms 51:10
“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me”. I add so I can walk with transparency before you and not feel ashamed because of my sin.

The Lord’s prayer, because is the model prayer that Jesus told us to pray. It encompasses everything and every situation.

My favorite prayer would have to be Jesus before being taken away. His supplications, His pain, His LOVE and His willingness to proceed for us (for me). This speaks so deeply to me. I can it in my bones.

The Lord’s Prayer. It is the model on how we should pray and I have a soft spot for it because it was the first prayer I ever learned and remembered completely.
