"Praying with Scripture"

          "Is not my word like fire,' declares the Lord, 'and like 
           hammer that breaks a rock in piece?"
           Jeremiah 23:29


Would you like to have greater faith in prayer? Of course you would.
And it stands to reason that if faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the
Word of God, then Word alone is the source of faith, especially in prayer.

         The Word of God is the Christian's true prayer book. The secret to 
Receiving answers to prayer lies in how we use God's Word during prayer
Time that's why it's always a good idea to prayer next to an open Bible.
Do you want to tune your works of praise so they will rise like a beautiful
Worship song to the Lord? The fill your praises with praises with glorious
Words from the Song of Songs or verse of adoration from the book of Psalm.
         Also, bring God's Word directly into your intercessions. Pray for your 
Loved one on the basis of Colossians 1 or Psalm 20. Why is this so 
Important? The psalmist said, "I will never forget your precept, for by
Them you have renewed my life." You bring God's power to bear in the 
Lives of the people for whom you intercede when you bring God's Word
Into your intercessions.

          Read portion of Scripture to prime your pump before you 
          Pray. Let the Spirit lead you to certain verse to use in your 
          Praise and intercessions. Then, develop personal prayers
          That are enriched by those same verse. God loves to hear
          His Word when you pray. It's like speaking His language!

          Today, Lord, I praise You that Your Word is like a hammer
          That breaks through my unbelief. Your Word is alike fire
          That sets my heart aflame. Teach me to use all of Your 
           Word as a powerful tool in my prayers.
