Scriptures leads us into prayer:
Scriptures feed our spirit Psalm 19: 7-8:
Psalms 23: Psalms 139:
Scriptures evoke praise Psalms 43: 3-4:
Scriptures provides a framework for prayer: The prayer of Jesus (Matthew 6: 9-13) Luke:23: 34; John: 17) Paul: (Philippains 1: 3-6 :9) (Ephesians 1: 15-21) Mary (Luke 1: 46-55) Hannah (1 Samuel 2: 1-10:) Abraham (Genesis 18: 22-33) Moses (Exodus 32:11-14).
