A YEAR OF PRAYER

Becoming a person of prayer through intimate heart connection

So He said to them, “When you pray, say:
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. —Luke 11:2

14  You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 
15  No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. —John 15:14 - 15

16  Rejoice always, 
17  pray without ceasing, 
18  in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. —1 Thessalonians 5:16 - 18

Rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer. —Romans 12:12 (NASB)

Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. —Romans 12:12 (NLT)

15  For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 
16  Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. —Hebrews 4:15 - 16

14  Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, and my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
15  O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall show forth Your praise. —Psalms 51:14 - 15

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. —Psalm 51:10

40  Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 
41  Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” —Matthew 26:40 - 41

10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 
11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. —Romans 8:10 - 11

But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. —1 Corinthians 6:17
