What is your favorite prayer from Scripture? What is the value of praying God’s Word?
-
Sometimes when my mind is going a mile-a-minute and I want to calm it down before prayer, I will pray the Beatitudes, Matthew 5.
-
From Ephesians 1:17-23 “The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory , may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us who believe…”

It is hard to pick out just one. I really love the Psalms because they are often brutally honest before God. I am still learning to be honest in my feelings before God. Unfortunately like many others I used to think that God wouldn’t listen to honest prayers because I probably thought He would be angry if I expressed doubt or anger toward Him. The Psalms show that we can be honest and God will not strike us down but will hear my prayers.

Actually my favorites are Psalm 23, Jonah 2, and Psalm 51.

Psalm 23 plus I have prayed Psalm 51 , I also have sometimes just used some verses of scripture in my prayers.
