Dear beloved, the greatest of all blessings is the gift of God’s word. We cannot survive in a dark world without His word. Everything we need is in God’s unfailing word. Looking carefully into this passage, you will get to understand how Jesus Christ does His work.

Jesus indicates that the gospel must be taken first to Israel, and the woman understands this, despite this, she responds to Christ in wisdom, perseverance, and faith. She also said that it is God’s purpose for gentles as well to receive blessings indirectly when He blesses Israel. By virtue of the woman’s diligent faith and wisdom, Jesus said the healing word to her that she may go because the demons have left her daughter. When the woman got home, her daughter had been healed.

Brethren, his words are powerful Call upon Him whatever your problem He will say His words and answer your requests by His words.

All other spiritual means of grace like fasting, study, simplicity, worship, confession, and service have their base in the act of reading the Bible and praying. While many tend to think of prayer and Bible reading as different spiritual practices (e.g., first I pray, then I read the Bible), they can be even more powerful when combined into one course of “praying scripture”. Personally, nothing has been more enriching in my own spiritual life than this act of daily praying scripture.

Are you ever unsure about what you should pray for? Do your prayers become dull or repetitive? Do you feel like you’re praying “wrong?

3. The Pattern of Praying with Scripture

Read a scripture at least four times meditatively. Allow something to take hold of your spirit from the passage or text. Plug the situation you have at hand into the scripture by making sure it fits into the context and theme of the course or verse. The insights you gain from that scripture should fire your passion for settling the challenge you have in prayer. Talk that scripture back to God by reading it, paraphrasing it, or summing up the central idea of the text or verse.

Let us gain insight into this pattern of praying from the lives of certain persons in the scriptures. Take note of the various ways to use scripture verses and prayers offered.

  • Moses, after the report of the spies: Numbers 14:17-21
  • Daniel 9:1-19
  • The disciples – Acts 4:23-31
