Lamentation in Prayer

Lee Campbell

Psalms 88:1-18

Lamentation is an important part of prayer that is seen throughout the bible. People become closer to God when they are honest with him in prayer while still trying to obey and hear from Him. 

Come and Praise God

Ben Foust

Psalms 33:1-22

Psalm 33 praises God's glory and creation. When we praise God through prayer, we are joyously reminded of His power, sovereignty, and love. 

Pray Biblically

Patrice McCormac

1 John 5:14-15

We can be confident that if we ask for something in God's will, he will give it to us. We first need to learn how to pray within God's will, then we can be confident that He hears us and will answer us.

Arguing with God in Prayer

Lee Campbell

Psalms 143:1-12

Throughout scripture, we see individuals arguing with God in prayer. In turn, God often listens to their argument and grants their requests. We should argue our needs before God based on His nature and promises. 

Prayer of Repentance

Mike Woods

Psalms 51:1-19

In Psalm 51, David approaches God honestly in prayer, asks for forgiveness, and asks for personal and corporate restoration. This is in stark contrast to humanity's natural unwillingness to approach God in our sin and failures. 

Praying Your Gratitude

Lee Campbell

Psalms 118:29

Throughout scripture, Christians are called to give thanks to God. Having an attitude of thanksgiving can bring us closer to God and have a positive effect on our own spiritual life as well as those around us. 

Bookends

Jim Leffel

Colossians 4:2-:6

Paul urges the Colossians to conduct themselves wisely as they spread God's message. To do this, we need to pray for others and develop genuine friendships with those who are lost. 

Jesus Prays

Dennis McCallum

John 17:1-26

As Jesus approaches His appointment with the cross, one last time, He Prays over his disciples a long, continuous prayer.

Brian Adams
