"David's prayer after The Lord promises to establish David's house is so deeply moving. In response to the revelation of God's will David prays the Word of The Lord back to Him. If we want to pray in the will of God there is no better way than to repeat or rehearse what God has stated. For the same reasons David lists (his Word is true, He said He would do it, He has the ability, power and desire to do it) we should pray the Word back to God."
In 1 John 5 we are given the formula to prayers that get answered. He says that if we ask anything according to the Will of God then we know God hears our prayers. Then he states that if God hears us then we know that we have whatever we have asked of the Lord.
So if this is the case then how do we know what the will of God is so that we can ask for it and get it? Simple, pray what God has spoken back to Him. If you can find a scripture or a verse that deals with your situation then you have something to pray.
I have a daily set of scriptures that I pray and confess over my life. As I have prayed these over the years they have become a part of me, changed me and bore fruit. If you want answered prayers then pray God's own words back to Him. He wants it for your life.
What scriptures do you pray? What answers to prayers from God's word have you seen?
