Sometimes, as Christians, we can take prayer for granted. It could be something that we say before a meal or bedtime, because it’s what we should do. Or we might say a prayer for a need we have, with little faith that the Lord will give us an answer.
These prayer points for a powerful prayer life are a great starting point for surrendering our prayer life to the Lord and asking Him to help us grow.
Prayer is one of the most important tools we have as a Christian to grow closer to the Lord! God can use it to equip us as we prepare to do His will. We have the privilege of talking to God, whether you’ve been a Christian for a day or for decades.
Each prayer point contains a Bible verse. The Bible reveals God’s heart to us, and praying through Scripture reminds us to be praying in line with what God wants. This isn’t always necessarily what we want!
Use these prayer points as a starting point for prayer in your quiet time, or pray through them with a Bible Study, Sunday School class, or other prayer gathering.
This is part of a collection – be sure to check at the end of this article for how you can access more prayer points!

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
Ask for the Holy Spirit’s guidance as you pray. “In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought.

Prayer for a Powerful Prayer Life
Dear God,
We are so thankful for the gift of prayer! The privilege of meeting You in prayer, wherever we are, whatever the circumstances, is yet another demonstration of Your love and compassion for us.
We pray that we would be faithful in prayer. May we rejoice in You, repent of our sins, and leave our prayer requests with You. May we be thankful for Your answers to prayer, even when they don’t match up with what we thought was the best way. We trust Your perfect will!
We love You, Lord!
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
