A brother by the Holy Spirit mentioned the above. It generated a number of scriptures. Don’t wait until you’re in a burning home or a plane on fire, but pray like you are! Don’t be like the atheist that is worse than Satan (Jas 2: v19. Thou believest that there is one YahwehShua; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble).
Our Creator in the flesh tells us how to pray.
Mat 6: v5. 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.
V6. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet (Daniel didn’t have this scripture and prayed in his window: Dan 6: v10. Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before Yahweh, as he did aforetime.
V11. Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before Yahweh. V12. Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king’s decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask [a petition] of any god or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?
The king answered and said, The thing [is] true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not), 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.
V7. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do:] for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
V8. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Luk 11: v2. And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name (Yahweh). Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
V3. Give us day by day our daily bread (physical and spiritual).
V4. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
Be persistent.
Luk 18: v2. Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not Yahweh, neither regarded man:
V3. And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
V4. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not Yahweh, nor regard man;
V5. Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
V6. And Messiah said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
V7. And shall not Yahweh avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
V8. I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Include repentance.
Luk 13: v3. I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
V4. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
V5. I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Pray for wisdom.
Jas 1: v5. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of YahwehShua, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Jas 3: v17. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Pray for your enemies.
Mat 5: v43. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
V44. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
V45. That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
V46. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans the same?
V47. And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others?] do not even the publicans so?
V48. Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Pray for the sick.
Jas 5: v14. Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the ecclesia; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of YahwehShua:
V15. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and YahwehShua shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Pray for your physical family too.
Since we're asked to pray for our spiritual family (closest family) and at the other extreme our enemies it suggests we should pray for everyone else in between those 2 extremes ( physical family, poor, prisoners, orphans, widows, people suffering, all creation)!
Pray with thanksgiving and supplication.
Php 4: v6. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication (entreating and seeking YahwehShua) with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto YahwehShua.
Pray that you be counted worthy to escape some of the terrible things coming during the seals and trumps of the end times.
Luk 21: v35. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
V36. 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.
Pray and repent like you’re trapped in a foxhole with bombs and bullets everywhere or trapped in a plane going down on fire, because your physical and spiritual life depend on it!
HalleluYahwehShua!
