Use Scripture To Pray

I'm so glad to be learning more about prayer. I used to have a hard time praying! I would close my eyes but then I couldn't think of anything to say! So I started using Scripture to help me pray.

"You have been taught the holy Scriptures since childhood... All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives." 2 Timothy 15a, 16a

What better way to learn how to pray than to use the very words God has given to us through the Bible? Whether I need to ask for forgiveness, pray for a friend, or just thank God for the day, I can always find verses that express what I want to say to God.

So if you're like me and you don't always know what to say when you pray, keep your Bible close by and let it help you talk with God. And as always, Never Stop Praying!
