Effective Prayer

I believe what Jesus Himself told us: “If anyone says to this mountain ‘go throw yourself in to the sea’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe you have received it and it will be yours.” I believe in and agree with, and thus confess the Word of God to change my circumstances (Mark 11:24). I pray and know I receive (1 John 5:14-15) because I am obedient to You commands. I know that the Lord has set apart for Himself the one who is godly — He will hear when I call to Him (Psalm 4:3).

Jesus said, “My Father will give you whatever you ask in My name, and you will receive and you will have abundant joy (John 16:23-24).

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are attentive to their cry (1 Peter 3:12). O Lord, let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of me, Your servant, and to the prayers of all Your servants who delight in revering Your name. Give Your servants success by granting us favor in the presence of all men (Nehemiah 1:11).

I am glad for all God is planning for me. Therefore I will be patient in trouble and prayerful always (Romans 12:12). Before I call on you, O God, please answer. While I am still speaking, please hear (Isaiah 65:24). May my prayer be set before You like incense. May the lifting up of my hands be like the morning and evening sacrifices of dedication to You and Your ways (Psalm 141:2).

If I speak, I will do it as one speaking the very words of God. And I will serve with the strength God provides, so in all things God may be praised through Christ Jesus — to Him be glory and power and honor forever and ever. Amen (1 Peter 4:11). Your Word that goes out [from my mouth on Your behalf] will not return to You void, but will accomplish what You desire, O God, and achieve the purpose for which You sent it (Isaiah 55:11). Your Word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens. Therefore I speak Your Word to establish it in my life (Psalm 119:89).

I truly believer the end of all things is near. Therefore I will be clear-minded and self-controlled so I can pray (1 Peter 4:7). Gracious Lord, please do for me as You did for Moses: “I will help You to speak clearly and I will tell you what to do” (Exodus 4:15). I am relying on Your Holy Spirit to teach me at all times what I should say (Luke 12:12).

May the Lord our God show us His approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, O Lord God, please bless the work of our hands (Psalm 90:17) and our tongues.
