‘Call to Me, and I will answer you.’ Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV
When you begin to pray Scripturally-based prayers, you will get the answers you need. Here is why: the Bible is God’s Word, and He always keeps His Word. Here is how to pray:
(1) When you don’t have the answer. ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ (Jeremiah 33:3).
(2) When you’re worried and under stress. ‘Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.’ (John 14:27 NKJV)
(3) When you need spiritual insight. ‘When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak of His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.’ (John 16:13 NKJV)
(4) When you need power for service. ‘He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do… that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.’ (John 14:12–14 NKJV)
( 5) When you need God’s blessing in your endeavours. ‘I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing.’ (Ezekiel 34:26 NKJV) Once you see the results of praying God’s promises, you will never pray any other way.
