If we will confess our sins and turn from them, God will not only hear our prayer but we will be able to rejoice in His fellowship. You can use scripture in prayer by quoting a scripture promise as assurance of an answer, quoting fulfilled promises as a reason for praise, apply Bible verses to current situations, using a verse as the content of prayer or praise, or using Bible phrases in prayer. Use this five minute segment of your hour of prayer to read one of the prayers of the Bible. As you do, try to see what God is saying to you in it. Jesus intercedes for us, at all times, before the throne of God.
Scripture is filled with examples of believers interceding for one another.
If we are to see a great spiritual awakening in our day, we must give ourselves to united, fervent and persistent intercessory prayer. You should petition God for your own personal needs as well. There are other valid personal requests that a person might bring before God, though you should guard against greed and selfishness. It's time now to return to the Word of God for instruction, encouragement and inspiration. Read a favorite passage or, more specifically, a biblical prayer promise.
