God’s Scriptural Wisdom for Prayer

Col 1:9

What do you look to when you seek guidance?  Is it horoscopes, people, or what?  Did you ever think we need guidance when we pray?  If we believe in Jesus as our Savior, then we should look to the Bible to guide our prayers.  The Apostle Paul prayed that we would have wisdom.  Col 1:9 says "For this cause we also, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding."

This prayer of Paul's is a scriptural example of a prayer.  There are other examples in the Bible, and they are there to guide us.  I believe that God wants us to use these prayers when you pray and if you do, you will have God's blessing for those whom we are praying.

Father, may God fill us with the knowledge of His will, and may it guide our prayers. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Reflection: 

Have you ever thought to look to the scriptures to help us pray?

If you have, could you share a few references of scripture that have helped you?

What affect have you found from using scripture in your prayers?
