Servants Of GOD PRAYERS

Prayers of The Holy Bible - The Old Testament

Elija:

Elijah spread his hands over the boy and cried out to God like this three times. The Lord heard his cry and the boy began to breath. Elijah picked up the boy and took him back downstairs to his mother and said, "Look, God answered my prayer, your son is alive!"

James 5:17-18 "Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops."

Isiah: 

"O Lord, be gracious to us; we long for You. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress."

 Numbers 6:24–26 – Aaron's Priestly Blessing

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.

- Psalm 19 – David's Prayer in Response to God's Glorious Self-Revelation

Keep back your servant also from willful sins.
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I will be upright.
I will be blameless and innocent
of great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and
the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
Lord, my rock, and my redeemer. (verses 13–14)

Psalm 23 – David's Prayer for Comfort, Peace, and Trust

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (verses 4–6)

Proverbs 30:7–9 – Agur's Prayer for Godliness and

Two things I ask of you; deny them not to me before I die: Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me, lest I be full and deny you and say, "Who is the Lord?" or lest I be poor and steal and profane the name of my God.

 1 Kings 3:3–9 – Solomon's Prayer for Wisdom

Early in King Solomon's reign, God appeared to him in a dream, saying "Ask what I shall give you." What an offer! Solomon's response reflected a heart that both knew God's grace to his father, David, and his own desperate need:

And now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of David my father, although I am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in. And your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, too many to be numbered or counted for multitude. Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people? (verses 7-9, emphasis mine)

 1 Chronicles 4:10 – Jabez's Prayer for Blessing and Protection

Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!" And God granted what he asked.

"O our God, will you not execute judgment on them? For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you." (verse 12, emphasis added)

God responded, "Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God's" 

JOB:

"I know that Thou canst do all things, and that no purpose of Thine can be thwarted. 'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. 'Here, now, and I will speak; I will ask Thee, and do Thou instruct me.' I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye sees Thee; therefore I retract, and I repent in dust and ashes." (Job 42:1-6)
