Helpful Prayers

Matthew 5:1-16
1 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.

12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.

14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.

16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

1 Peter 4:7
7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.

Jude 1:20
20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,

Here are just a few prayers that hopefully will help you with praying to our Father who is in heaven, His Son our Lord Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

(Matthew 6:5-8 NASB)

“When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. “And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

Here are a few prayers that hopefully will help you with praying

Pray to God and ask for sound and spiritual wisdom and understanding (Proverbs 2:1-9 NASB, Colossians 1:1-14, James 1:5,17,3:17), as you receive His words and treasure the commandments and teachings that were given to us by God the Father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit so that we can discover the knowledge and understanding of God (Romans 15:14, 1 Corinthians 1:4-9, Colossians 1:1-14, and to be grateful for the grace given to you in Christ Jesus and for Christ Jesus.

Conclusion

We are given many prayers that are in both the Old Testament and New

Testament to help us learn from so that our hearts and mind can change so that we can grow closer with our Father in heaven, His Son our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, I have listed a few of them with scriptural references.

(Matthew 11:28-30 NASB)

28 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

The more we spend time we learn and grow in the word seeking God, our prayer life should grow and give us the confidence to draw near to the throne of grace that you may receive mercy and find grace to help at the time of need (Hebrews 1:8-14, Hebrews 4:14-16, Revelation 22:1-7) It is a blessing and a gift to be able to pray to God the Father, His Son Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

I hope that these prayers might help you in your walk with God the Father, His Son our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
