Here are key passages: ## **Purpose and Power of Prayer** - **Matthew 7:7-8** - "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." - **James 5:16** - "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." - **Philippians 4:6-7** - "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." ## **How to Pray** - **Matthew 6:5-13** - Jesus teaches the Lord's Prayer and warns against praying for show - **1 Thessalonians 5:17** - "Pray continually" - **John 14:13-14** - Pray in Jesus' name ## **Conditions for Effective Prayer** - **1 John 5:14** - Pray according to God's will - **Mark 11:24** - "Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." - **James 4:3** - Wrong motives can hinder prayers ## **God's Response** - **1 Peter 3:12** - "The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer" - **Psalm 66:18** - Sin can block prayers These passages show prayer as essential communication with God, to be done humbly, persistently, and in faith.
