Prayer 1: A Prayer for Strength Based on the Strength of God and His Wordįather, the word that goes forth from Your mouth will not return to You empty but will accomplish what You desire and achieve the purpose for which You sent it. Or, you may choose to pray based on what you read from several verses across different passages. You may choose to pray after considering just one verse or part of a verse. (We also hope that providing the prayer for strength with accompanying verse(s) serves as guide for you to pray with other verses of your choosing). First, you’ll see the prayer next, we provide the Bible reference if you want to meditate on the verse(s) as you pray. The first prayer you’ll see here is an example of how we pray Scripture back to God. We’ve chosen this method because we believe that authentic prayer based on the Bible is pleasing to God. Consider His prayer to the Father on behalf of the disciples, who had become his friends: “Sanctify them by the truth Your word is truth.” (John 17:17). The power of this word and its use in prayer is modeled by Jesus. This truth and lasting power is declared in the Psalms: “The entirety of Your word is truth, and all Your righteous judgments endure forever.” 1 These are prayers for strength both sourced in and directed to the One in whom exists all power and truth. Therefore, the prayers you will see below are prayers based on the Bible. ![]()
