Stimulating prayer through Scripture
by Lance Witt

The Bible is God’s love letter to you. Let that sink in for just a moment. It is a revelation of himself and his plans and purposes. The Scripture is central to our understanding of God and intimacy with God.

It delights the heart of our Father when we read his word; sing his word, and even when we pray his word.

In fact, many passages in the Bible are recorded prayers; the best loved being the Psalms. For more than 3,000 years believers have used the Psalms as a prayer book for private and public worship.

“Praying Scripture” is using passages of Scripture to stimulate prayer or when we say verses directly back to God, making them the petition of our hearts.

There are several benefits that come from praying Scripture.

Praying Scripture keeps our prayer life fresh.
Have you ever listened to yourself pray and find that you pray the same words, phrases, and sentences over and over and over again? The reality is that all of us can get in a rut when it comes to prayer. It can become mechanical, routine, and ritual.

Praying Scripture helps our spiritual amnesia.
We can get overwhelmed by life and forget God’s sovereignty, providence, faithfulness, power, and goodness. Praying Scripture reminds us of who God is, what He has done, and what He can still do.

Praying Scripture can help the Bible come alive.
It is not just words on a page, but the expression of our heart to the Father. It is not just somebody else’s story, but it can be an expression of our hearts toward God.

Praying Scripture can greatly enhance your private worship.
Praying Scripture can be some of the most meaningful prayer times you can have.

Praying Scripture can help you to hide God’s word in your heart.
As you pray it and meditate on it, God’s truth gets internalized into your life and its spiritual power takes root in your soul.

Praying Scripture allows you to know and claim some of the great promises of the Bible.
Consider praying some of the following passages and make them your personal prayer.

Psalm 25:1-11
Ephesians 1:3-14
Deuteronomy 32:3-4
Psalm 42:1-5
Ephesians 1:15-19
Psalm 51:1-13
Revelation 5:9-14
Psalm 119:9-24
Psalm 139:1-18
