God’s Word & Prayer Go Hand in Hand

prayer-Word
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. (Eph. 6:17-18)

If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction, even their prayers are detestable. (Prov. 28:9)

God speaks to us through His Word (2 Tim. 3:16-17) and through prayer we respond to Him which results in true communion (Ps. 145:18; Jn. 15:7).

God’s Word enables us to pray in keeping with God’s will. How will we know what His will is unless we are in His Word? (John 14:13–14, 1 John 5:14-15)

God’s Word shows us our sinfulness so we can confess it (1 Jn. 1:9) and helps prevent us from sinning (Ps. 119:11) so we are able to keep in fellowship with the Lord (Ps. 66:18).

Personalize:

Do you lack focus in prayer? – Turn what you read in the Word into prayer.

Are you unsure of how to pray? – Look at the examples of praying in the Bible.

Do you lack confidence in praying? – Hold forth the promises found in God’s Word as you pray. (Ps. 119:58, 82, 116, 154, 170; Heb. 4:16)

Do you have a hard time studying or understanding God’s Word? – Ask God for help (James 1:5).

  1. Thank you for this lesson. I have a hard time remembering the exact scripture, but when I read it again later on I recall it again. I guess I just need to read daily and form a habit of taking in the information that God is showing me. With time it will become as easy as remembering how to ride a bike or skating. It takes some work on my part but I know it will become easy with My heavenly Father’s help. Looking forward to more lessons:)

    • You are most welcome, Nora. Yes, there are many benefits of forming a habit of taking in the Word. In addition to what you mentioned, it makes us more discerning as we read in Hebrews 5:14 — “who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.” (Heb. 5:14) I pray you keep looking to the Lord for the help you need to regularly spend time with Him in His Word.

  2. I have asked many times what is more important. The word or prayer? what must i focus on most? I have recently realized that they both MUST work TOGETHER. The lack of one causes the other to not be beneficial to me as I serve him. Thank you for the confirmations and God bless.
