Inspiration often comes spontaneously as we pray whatever God puts on our minds. Sometimes, though, we’re at a loss for words, or maybe we’re not even sure how to pray! But take heart! The many prayers recorded in God’s Word provide inspired models. For example, countless people of God have prayed these familiar words:
The Shema: “”Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One“,” Deuteronomy 6:4.
Aaron’s priestly blessing from Numbers 24-26, “The Lord bless you, and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and grant you peace.”
The Lord’s Prayer (Our Father) from Matthew 6:9-13: “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.”
Beyond these examples, many of us don’t know where to find relevant Bible prayers to pray with, but that’s the purpose of this site: To gather Bible prayers and inspired words of meditation from God’s Word we can adapt to confess, petition, give thanks, praise God, and intercede for others.
May the peace of the Lord be with you always.
