Daily Praying the Word

PRAYING GOD’S WORD: More than 300 Bible verses are included in this book to effectively guide you in praying God’s infallible Word back to Him. Twelve times in Psalm 119 the writer tells of God’s faithfulness “according to Your Word”:

1.       to cleanse us as we obey (v. 9), 
2.       to revive us when we’re discouraged (v. 25), 
3.       to strengthen us in sadness (v. 28), 
4.       to save us in love (v. 41), 
5.       to receive God's mercy (v. 58), 
6.       to do good to us (v. 65), 
7.       to comfort us (v. 76), 
8.       to renew us (v. 107), 
9.       to uphold us (v. 116), 
10.       to protect us (v. 154), 
11.       to teach us (v. 169), and 
12.       to answer our prayers (170)

One way of praying God’s word is to paraphrase a verse into a prayer of your own. For instance, when you read…

⁶Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8And having food and clothing, with these we will be content.

1 Timothy 6:6-8

³Give us day by day our daily bread.

Luke 11:3

…pray it in the following way:

“Dear Lord, help me to see that I need to be content. Thank you for my daily food today and for my clothing and shelter and all my basic needs.”

Feel free to copy and paste these pages into a word document or onto your mobile device and personalize it with your own daily requests. Songs are included to sing His praise back to Him. May God bless both the reading of His word and the prayers of His saints. Amen.

¹¹Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹²For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. ¹³Therefore take to you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. ¹⁴Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness; ¹⁵and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶above all, taking the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. ¹⁷And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; ¹⁸praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end, with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.

Ephesians 6:11-18

EVERY DAY

Daily Prayer Requests

Please Pray

...That God would supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus

“When God's people pray 

and take the pains of earth To the doors of heaven, 

When God's people pray, 

there is hope reborn, There is sin forgiven, 

and miracles you can't explain away, 

When God's people pray.”

“Lord, help me to be content and to trust you.”
