Do you long for a more meaningful prayer life? Do you often feel at a loss to know how to express your heartfelt concerns to the Lord? In these Scripture prayers, you will find the words you need to talk to the Lord and to draw near to His heart in His Word. The daily personalized Scripture prayers will help you present your requests to the Lord, confess sin, express your deepest needs, find comfort, worship the Lord, and offer praises and thanksgiving.

Prayers for New Year's, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and for various other themes are also included.

Like Scripture itself, on some days the prayers will speak to your need while others won't seem to fit at all. At another time the prayer may be exactly what you needed. As you pray, listen for what the Lord desires to say to you. Then write how the Lord spoke to your heart or helped you express your desires through the Scripture prayer.

Some prayers are specifically worded to express intercession for others, with blanks to fill in the name of the person(s) for whom you are praying. Though our prayers are not always answered the way we desire, we can be assured that the Lord deeply loves us, cares about our heartfelt needs, and is always present with us to comfort and support us.

We have this confidence that Jesus "is at the right hand of God . . . interceding for us" (Rom. 8:34). "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will" (Rom. 8:26-27).
