PRAYING SCRIPTURE
When we pray the promises of God, we’re focusing on God’s power and limitless resources rather than the problem or our own limited ability to solve it. Our heavenly Father is bigger than any situation we’ll encounter, no matter how painful or scary or uncertain it may seem in the moment. Whatever we’re going through, find a verse for the situation and trust God for the result. Pray His promises and trust in His power to be revealed.
The Word of God is one of the most valuable tools we have to
build a dynamic prayer life.
ASSURANCE
PSALM 23 NIV
The LORD is my Shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me
lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet
waters, He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the
right paths for His name’s sake. Even though I walk
through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for You are
with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You
prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely Your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7 NIV
