The Power of Prayer

The Power of Prayer 

Acts 10:9 


About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray.


Acts 4:23-31 


23 On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 


24 When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them. 


25 You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David: “‘Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?


26 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his Anointed One.’


27 Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed. 


28 They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen. 


29 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.


30 Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”


31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.


Luke 11:1 


One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”


1 Thessalonians 5:16-18


16 Be joyful always; 


17 pray continually; 


18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.


1 John 1:9 


If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.


Romans 8:26 


In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
