praying for others praying god's word praying through pain scripture prayers Feb 16, 2022

Here are some Scripture prayers you can pull out of your collection when you are praying God's Word into your own, or into the hearts and lives of the people you know, who are clinging to Truth in their pain and suffering.

2 Corinthians 12:9 ESV

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

Father, Your Word says in 2 Corinthians 12:9 that Your grace is enough for me. Let me boast in my weakness created by this situation, so that I will experience Christ's power resting on me. Let others see the power of Christ resting on me so that they too can know that You are enough for them as well. 

Reflect on the truth of this word with this worship song Same God

Philippians 4:19 ESV

"And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."

Your Word, Oh God assures me that You, Yourself will make sure that I have all my needs met in You. Spirit of the Living God, remind me that Your riches in glory have been secured by Jesus Christ and they are stored for the sole purpose of making certain that I have what I need when I need it. Thank You for Your glorious, sufficient, more than enough provision. 

Or, if you are praying this over someone else, .

Your Word, Oh God assures me that You, Yourself will make sure that (name of person) has all his/her needs met in You. Spirit of the Living God, remind (name) that Your riches in glory have been secured by Jesus Christ and they are stored for the sole purpose of making certain that she/he have what they need when they need it. Thank You for Your glorious, sufficient, more than enough provision for (name). 

Here is your song to meditate on Your Goodness is Running After Me

2 Corinthians 9:8 ESV

"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work."

Oh Lord God, You are able! You are able to make all grace abound to me (or name of person your are praying for)! I declare that I have everything I need at all times. I praise Your Name and rest in the confidence that I will abound in every aspect of the work You've called me to. I confess my lack of confidence that is really just a form of unbelief. And I choose to replace my unbelief with faith that proclaims, My God is able, and I am able too! 

Let the words of this ancient hymn soak into your spirit! Amazing Grace

Zephaniah 3:17 ESV

"The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing."

Lord, even if I don't feel Your presence right now, I choose to believe this promise. You are right here with me right now and You are the mighty One who is not only able but also determined to save! You will rejoice over me with gladness, now and when Your salvation is complete. In the meantime You will quiet me with Your love and when the time is right You will celebrate over ME with loud singing! 

Or if you are praying this over someone you love...

Lord, You are My God and I know that You are in the midst of (your person). You are the mighty One who saves. And I know that You will save (person) from herself/himself, from (any stronghold they are imprisoned to), from (any person who is keeping them from being connected to God). There's nothing that You can't do! There's not a mountain You can't move! This? You've got THIS! With just one hint of a thought in (name) direction, You will rejoice over (name) with singing. You will quiet (name) with Your love. You will exult over (name) with singing! 

A great song to sing as you pray this prayer is this one Reckless Love

Psalm 138:8 ESV

"The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands."

Oh Lord My God, You will fulfill Your purpose for me. Your love is steadfast...resolute and unwavering. Oh LORD, thank You for reminding me that Your love, Oh LORD endures forever. My waywardness, selfishness, weakness, sin, failure, discouragement, depression and hopelessness don't leave me helpless for You do NOT forsake the work of Your hands. Thank You that my life is in Your hands. 

Song to accompany this prayer, I Run to the Father 

Share this blog post with anyone who is praying through their pain with a gentle reminder that God always watches over His Word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12), not one single promise will return to Him void (Isaiah 55:11). He isn't a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19) and when we choose to believe we shout "Amen" --"so be it" to the glory of God because all of His promises are Yes in Christ Jesus! (2 Corinthians 1:20)
