What the Bible says about: Prayer
| Proverbs 15:8 | The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. |
| Proverbs 15:29 | The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. |
| Proverbs 28:9 | He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. |
| Matthew 6:5-15 | And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. |
| But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. | |
| But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. | |
| Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. | |
| After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. | |
| Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. | |
| Give us this day our daily bread. | |
| And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. | |
| And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. | |
| For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: | |
| But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. | |
| Matthew 7:7-8 | Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: |
| For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. | |

| Luke 21:36 | Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. |
| Luke 22:31-32 | And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: |
| But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. | |
| John 14:13-14 | And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. |
| If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. | |
