Prayer Scriptures In The Bible

If you’re looking for Bible verses to help you pray, here are some of the most powerful and popular ones.

1 Chronicles 16:11 – Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually!

“Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually!” (1 Chronicles 16:11)

This verse is a great reminder to us that God desires us to be in relationship with him, seeking and knowing him. This is not something we do once or twice in our lives, but rather it should be an ongoing pursuit.

Psalm 4:1 – Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

As you can see, this scripture is a call to action. God is telling us that he is our only hope, and if we are going to seek relief from our distress, we must call out to him. He is also telling us that he will respond when we do call on him.

God knows what it’s like to be in distress and he wants to help us through those times as well. Although he can be merciful at any time, it is especially important that we ask for his mercy during times of trouble or difficulty because then it shows just how true our faith really is.

Psalm 5:3 – In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.

This is a great verse to use when you are praying for something to happen or something that happened that needs to be repaired. It is important to pray in the morning because it sets up your day with faith and confidence that God will fulfill His promises. You will also find there are times when we feel like giving up on our prayers but if we keep going, He will reward us for our faithfulness by answering those prayers!

Psalm 6:9 – The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.

We can pray to God or Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is always with us. The Bible tells us that Jesus wants to hear our prayers, because He loves us and wants to help. We can even pray for others, just as God has been praying for us all through time.

Here are some of my favorite verses about prayer:

Romans 8:26-27 (NIV) – Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.* 1 Timothy 2:1-3 (NIV) – I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men, 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) – Therefore if any man is in Christ he is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new.* Ephesians 6:18 (NIV) – Pray at all times in the Spirit

Psalm 9:10 – And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.

Psalm 9:10 says, “And those who know Your name put their trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.”

The Lord is a refuge for us in times of trouble. He is our stronghold and fortress when we feel as if we are sinking into the pit of despair and hopelessness. He is our shield against the enemy’s fiery darts of discouragement and depression. He is like a high tower from which we can view all that is happening around us with perfect clarity of perspective so that we may not be deceived by lies and deception from false teachers or even well-meaning friends who don’t know the truth ourselves but want to help us anyway because they care about us so much!

Psalm 13:4 – How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?

When your thoughts turn to the future and you begin to worry, remind yourself that the Lord is with you. When you are tempted by fear, remind yourself that God has overcome all things for His people. And when your mind fills with anxious thoughts about tomorrow, remember what Jesus said: “Do not be anxious about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Sufficient for each day is its own evil” (Matthew 6:34).

Psalm 17:6 – I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer.

“I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer.”

This verse is a reminder of Jesus’ promise to answer our prayers if we pray in the name of Christ: “Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” (John 14:13). God hears and answers our prayers when we are in need.

Isaiah 41:13 – For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

In this passage, God promises that He is the one who helps us when we need it.

God is our refuge: a place of safety and protection from harm. God is our guide: someone who leads us through life. When we are confused, God shows us what to do next. When we feel lost or afraid, God gives us guidance to get back on track again.

Jeremiah 33:3 – Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

Prayer is an important part of connecting with God. It’s one way that we can feel more in touch with God, even when we’re feeling stressed, anxious or lost. Prayer can also help us relax and feel more connected to our faith.

Here are some scripture verses about prayer:

“Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.” – Jeremiah 33:3
“I will lead the blind by ways they have not known,…I will guide them onto level ground.” – Isaiah 42:16-17
