Using His Word for Prayer!

Do you ever feel lost when you try to pray?

One of the spiritual disciplines I tend to procrastinate, put last, or don’t always feel efficient when doing… is prayer.

Though prayer is one of the most intimate things a person can do to grow close to his/her Creator AND help to battle confusion/attacks/etc., it sometimes is difficult to carry out… especially with a genuine heart and with salt (meaning).

I also fear I am saying things to Him that aren’t pleasing or based off something false; so I decided to use His Word to write down prayers I could turn to when I know I need to be more purposeful as I’m praying. Topics included so far: Marriage, Praises to YHWH, Healing, and more.

The ability to pray to Him directly is a blessing alone- thanks be to His Son for tearing down that veil- and we should really take action with it for His will to be done.

…

I hope my rough notes and attempts to make somewhat of a guide will help keep your prayers focused & efficient.…that they renew your mind as you speak His Word. Let Him be praised when you see His hand in the midst of the circumstances that you lift up, as well as, the people you intercede for.

***Also, I highly recommend FASTING while/before you pray! It will humble you and ready your spirit. I have had prayers heard and answered when I remembered and planned ahead of time to fast for the thing(s) I wanted to give to YHWH in prayer. See what Messiah says about it in {Matthew 17:21}.

May Yah bless you as you bless Him with your commitment to keep in communication with Him. As always, YHWH’s will be done- not our own.

Marriage

MARRIAGE Prayers:

Let me submit myself unto my own husband as unto You, Father.

Let me be subject unto my husband just as the assembly is subject unto Messiah.

Let my husband be the head of me, even as Messiah is the head of the body & is the Savior of it.

Let us be & know that we are one flesh, just as we are members of the body of Messiah, of His flesh, & of His bones.

I pray, YHWH, that my husband loves me just as Yahshua loves the assembly & gave Himself up for it, so that He may sanctify it & cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word.

Father Yah, let me husband love me as I was his own body because he that loves his wife, loves himself; for no man ever hated his own flesh but nourish it & cherish it, even as Yah to the assembly.

Let my husband love me, even as himself; & let me, as his wife, see that I reverence him.

-Ephesians 5:22-33

Let me be submitted to my own husband, so that even if he is disobedient to Your Word, he may be won over by my pure & reverent conduct he observes (without the need or interference of my words from my own mouth).

Let not my beauty be external (ex. Braiding of hair, wearing fine clothing or jewelry), but instead, let it be in the hidden person of the heart with the unfading beauty of a gentle & quiet spirit- so that I may be precious in Your sight, Father.

Let me follow the way of the holy women who put their hope in You, Yah, being submitted to their own husbands just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him “lord”.

Let me become her (Sarah) daughter by doing what is good & not fearing intimidation (being frightened into submission).

Let my husband be understanding towards me as his wife. Though I am the weaker vessel, let him honor me as an equal heir of the grace of life, so our prayers are not hindered.

YHWH Most High, let us be like-minded (harmonious), sympathetic, brotherly (loving), tenderhearted, & humble-minded.

Let us not repay evil for evil, but instead, repay evil with a blessing (because we’re called to) in order that we may inherit a blessing.

Also, let us turn away from evil, keep our lips from speaking deceit, do good, seek shalom (peace), and pursue it.

-1 Peter 3:1-11

I thank you so much, Abba, that in Your Word it says that an unbelieving spouse is sanctified through his/her believing spouse; not only that, but that the children are holy as well. I pray You find genuine belief in this marriage, so this whole family can be sanctified in Your sight and be holy. Praise be to You, YHWH!

-1 Corinthians 7:12-14

Praises to YHWH!

Prayers of PRAISE:

There is none holy as You. For there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like You, our Father in heaven. My heart rejoices in You, YHWH, my horn is exalted in You: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies, because I rejoice in Your salvation.

–1 Samuel 2, Hannah’s Prayer

Thank you, Yah, for Your Word is near us & not too far off. For the Word is in our mouths [to open, that we may meditate on it] and hearts [to purify, that we may perform it].

-Deuteronomy 30:14 [+Aramaic Targums]

Your testimonies/statutes are wonderful. Therefore my soul obeys them. The unfolding of Your words gives light, giving understanding to the simple.

-Psalm 119:129,130

The Rock- blameless is Your work. Indeed, all Your ways are just. Elohim of faithfulness without iniquity, righteous & upright are You!

-Deuteronomy 32:4, Moses

Thank You, Yah, that You are a just Elohim. For Your eyes are on the righteous & Your ears are open to their prayer, but Your face is against those who do evil.

-Peter 3:12

I will exalt You, my Elohim, O’ King: & I will bless Your name forever & ever. Every day I will bless You & praise Your name forever & ever. Great are You, Yah, & greatly to be praised; & Your greatness is unsearchable. Generation after generation shall praise Your works, & shall declare Your mighty acts. Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome works; & I will declare Your greatness. They shall abundantly express the memory of Your goodness, & they shall sing of Your righteousness. YHWH, You are gracious & full of compassion, slow to anger, & great in mercy. You are good to all & Your tender mercies are over all Your works. All Your works shall thank You, O’ Yah; & Your saints bless You. They shall speak of the esteem of Your kingdom & talk of Your power, to make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts & the wonderful majesty of Your kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, & Your dominion endures through all generations. The might of Your fallen enemies, YHWH, has come to naught. You sustain all those who fall, & raise up all those who are bowed down. The eyes of all wait upon You; & You give them their food in due season. You open your hands, & satisfy the desire of every living thing with favor. Yah, You are righteous in all Your ways, & holy in all Your works. You are near to all who call upon You in truth. You will grant the desire of them that fear You: & You will also hear their prayer, & save them. You preserve all them that love You: but the wicked You will destroy. My mouth shall speak Your praise, YHWH, & let all flesh bless Your holy name forever & ever.

-Psalm 145 (Gad the Seer), King David

Blessed be YHWH my rock, Who instructs my hands for war, & my fingers for battle. My mercy & my fortress, my high tower & my deliverer; my protector & in You, whom I take refuge, Who subdues peoples under me. O’ Yah, I will sing to You a new song: I will sing praise to You on a psaltery of ten strings, Who gives salvation to kings, Who rescues Your servant from an evil sword. Rescue me, & deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouths speak lies, & whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

-Psalm 144 (Gad the Seer)

I will reverence You Creator of heaven & fire, the sea & the earth, the wet & the dry, the heat & the cold, the mineral & the vegetation, the living & the speaking, the planets, the pleiades (constellations) & Orion, the sun & the moon, the substantial & the spiritual, the wandering stars, the senses, & everything. These were all created without a blemish by You, El Shaddai, whose name is YHWH.

-Gad the Seer Ch. 9, King David

I will have reverence & respect for You, El Shaddai, for You made everything by speaking & by the breath of Your mouth; & who will tell You what You can do? For You are One. Blessed are You, Elohim of Israel, who chooses His people & blessed are Your people whom You have chosen to be Your inheritance. I would be blessed to simply be the servants of the children of Israel that are called the children of You, YHWH.

-Gad the Seer Ch. 9, King Hiram of Tyre

Yah, my Elohim, now I know You reward all Your creatures & all Your works. You have created with goodness, because You are an El of mercy, who dwells on high & looks after the lowly, & whoever is banished will not remain an outcast from You, Yah. Blessed be YHWH forever; amein & amein. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is Your mercy towards those that fear You & towards Your works (creatures). I bless You, Yah, o’ my soul. HalleluYah!

-Gad the Seer Ch. 9, King David

O YHWH, You inhabit eternity, Your eyes are exalted & Your upper chambers are in the air, Your throne is beyond measure & Your [esteem] is beyond comprehension. Before You the hosts of angels stand trembling & at Your command they are changed to wind & fire. Your word is sure & Your utterances are certain, Your ordinance is strong & Your command is terrible. Your look dries up the depths & Your indignation (righteous anger) makes the mountains melt away, & Your Truth is established forever.

-2 Esdras 8:20-23 (was included in the 1611 KJV Bible)

HalleluYah! Praise You, YHWH, O my being! While I live I praise You. I sing praises to You, my Elohim, while I exist. I do not put my trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom is no deliverance/salvation. [For] his spirit goes out & returns to the earth; in that day his plans perish [too]. Blessed is the one who has You for his help, El of Jacob/Ya’aqob, whose expectancy is in You.

You are Maker of the heavens (shamayim) & earth, the sea & all that is in them, Who is guarding truth forever, doing right-ruling for the oppressed, giving bread to the hungry.

You, YHWH, release those who are bound, open the eyes of the blind, raise those who are bowed down, love the righteous, guard/protect the strangers, lift up the fatherless & the widow; but the way of the wicked You turn upside down/frustrate.

Yah, You reign forever. Our (Zion’s) Elohim to all generations. HalleluYah!

-Psalm 146

-Philippians 2:2-4

Help us to obey You: to continue to work out our salvation by fear & trembling. For it is You,, YHWH, who works in us to will & to act on behalf of Your good pleasure.

Let us remember our sins were like scarlet & red like crimson, how they will be white as snow & like wool [because of the penalty paid by Messiah’s own blood].

YHWH, let us all have discerning hearts that seek knowledge, rather than a mouth of fools that feed on folly.

Love YHWH your Elohim with all your heart &

With all your soul/whole being, &

With all your strength.”

-Deuteronomy 6:4

Let us remember and trust in Your renewed covenant that was made with Yisrael, YHWH:

“I will sprinkle clean water on you & you will be clean from all your uncleanness & from all your idols. Moreover, I will give you a new heart. I will put a new Spirit within you. I will remove the stony heart from your flesh & give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit (Ruach ha kodesh) within you. Then I will cause you to walk in My laws, so you will keep My rulings, & do them.”

Thank You, Abba!

HEALING:

O’ YHWH, You have numbered every hair on our heads & know every detail of ourselves because You are our Maker.

-Luke 12:7

This causes us to believe that You know the health of our bodies & whether or not we have physical ailments, as well as, the root of those issues. YHWH, You are the One True Elohim who crushes but also binds up; strikes, but Your hands also heal.

-Job 5:18

We come to You, Our Doctor, for wholeness. We ask that Your will be done with our temples as we do our parts in keeping them clean & free of idols. Cleanse us, Father, with the washing of water by Your Word/Yahshua our Messiah & we shall be clean. Heal us Yah, & we shall be healed… For You are our praise!

-Jeremiah 17:14

We thank You that by Your stripes we are spiritually healed (of our sin), & we ask also for physical healing & health to our bones because of the love & care You have for Your people. Ultimately, Your will be done & not our own, YHWH.

-Luke 22:42

We also ask for earthly doctors who can provide help and share their knowledge to us, if necessary. Lead us to health and help us take care of what You’ve given, YHWH our Elohim.

Thank You, Father, for Your word because it says that if we serve You, You will bless our bread & our water; that You will take sickness away from the midst of us. HalleluYah! So we choose this day to serve You & wait expectantly for this promise to come to pass.

-Exodus 23:25

We praise only You, YHWH, because You are the One who renews the strength of those who wait upon You. They get mounted up with wings as eagles; they can run & not become weary, walk & not faint!

We exalt You, Father, for when You provided Moses & the children of Yisrael drinkable water saying, “If you diligently hearken to the voice of Me, your Elohim, do what is right in My eyes, give ear to My commandments, & keep all My statutes & decrees, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians. For I am YHWH, who heals you.” So let us listen to Your voice & obey all that You tell us, so we can be among those who live in Your healing & protection.

-Exodus 15:26

Thank You, Abba, for in situations of need we can have the choice to fast & pray, so our light will break forth like the dawn, & our healing will spring up speedily. Then our righteousness (which ultimately comes from You) will go before us and Your esteem as our rear guard. We will call, & YHWH, You will answer. Answer our requests that we bring to You, as we do our parts of self-discipline.

-Isaiah 58:8-9a

We pray this under the blood & authority of Your Son, Yahshua our Messiah!

Amein & Amein!
