Our Prayers Will Be More Powerful When We Learn to Pray More Like the Bible

We can see how important prayer is in the Bible, but what types of prayers should we pray? I have been surprised to think of some of my regular prayers, compared to how the early leaders of the Church prayed in the Bible. 

The more we learn to pray the Bible, and to pray like the Bible teaches us to pray, the better off we will be. 

Consider these prayers in the Bible:

• Paul thanked God for people often. (See Romans 1:8-10)


• Paul prayed for our knowledge of God to grow. (See Ephesians 1:17)


• Paul prayed for our joy, peace and hope. (See Romans 15:13)


• Paul prayed we would live in peace and unity with other believers. (See Romans 15:5-6)


• Paul prayed for us to experience God’s power in our lives. (See Ephesians 3:16)


• Paul prayed that our love for others would grow. (See Philippians 1:9)

These are just some of the powerful apostolic prayers in the Bible. I don’t know about you, but they are so different than the way I would naturally pray!

Looking at some of these powerful prayers in the Bible, it will be highly beneficial to write down a list of these, and begin to model more of our prayers after these powerful prayers!

I believe God will bless us in increasing ways when we praying according to the Word and will of God in the Bible.
