I hope you enjoyed our workshop as much as I did this weekend! Sid was a tremendous blessing to us. If you missed out, I hope you’ll take the time to download & listen to the recordings of the sessions. You will be blessed!
This weekend, we’ve had a powerful study of what God wants to accomplish through his people in prayer. Want to go farther in your study? Here are some notable prayers in Scripture:
- Jesus prays for the disciples – and us! (John 17)
- The model prayer of Jesus (Matthew 6:9-15)
- The tax collector’s humble prayer (Luke 18:13)
- Habakkuk’s Prayer (Habakkuk 3:2-19)
- Ezra’s Prayer (Ezra 9:5-15)
- Hezekiah’s almost-death-bed prayer (Isaiah 38:2-8)
- The prayer of Jabez (1 Chronicles 4:10)
- Elijah’s Mount Carmel Prayer (1 Kings 18:36-39)
- Solomon’s Dedication Prayer (1 Kings 8:22-30)
- David’s prayer of Thanks (2 Samuel 7:18-29)
- Stephen’s prayer while being stoned (Acts 7:59-60)
- Paul prays for spiritual growth (Ephesians 3:14-21)
- Paul prays to know God’s will (Colossians 1:9-12)
- Paul prays for wisdom (Ephesians 1:15-23)
- Paul prays for his fellow servants (Philippians 1:3-11)
- A doxology (word of praise) prayer (Jude 1:24-24)
If you get stuck in your prayers, maybe you can take a look at these prayers to help get things flowing again. Try your hand at adding to this list as you read and study your Bible. Herbert Lockyer wrote a book called All the Prayers of the Bible. He identified at least 650 prayers and around 450 recorded answers. (By the way – sometimes we complain when we don’t get an immediate answer? It’s interesting to me that so many don’t have a recorded response. Why would I expect my experience to differ?)
Prayer is powerful because God is powerful—and good. I hope this weekend has been a blessing to you and your family!
