Verses on Praying
"Pray continually." (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints." (Ephesians 6:18)
"Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge." (Psalm 62:8)
"What other nation is so great as to have their gods near to us the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to him?" (Deuteronomy 4:7)
"Then little children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them." (Matthew 19:13)
"They raised their voices together in prayer to God." (Acts 4:24)
"For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you..." (Ephesians 1:15-18)
"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." (Ephesians 3:16-19)
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." (Philippians 4:6)
"Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise." (James 5:13)
prayer of Jesus for us:
"I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."
(John 17:20-26)

Art & Prayer
Taken from Praying in Color (Sybil MacBeth)
"If you are a visual or kinesthetic learner, a distractable or impatient soul, a word-weary pray-er, or just a person looking for a new way to pray, I hope you will find this practice helpful."
Try one or all of these:
Visualize what you are praying for- the name, the situation, the country.
Write one of the names for the Almighty in a shape. This can serve as a reminder that God is ever-present. Add details to the shape- dots, lines, circles. Add color to the picture. Near that shape, draw another shape and write the name of a person for whom you want to pray, even yourself. Or leave the shape empty if you aren't sure what to pray for. Use this time to release these thoughts and people to God.
Draw or write the negative things that you're feeling.
Fill the page with things that you're thankful for. Write the words in different sizes and directions.
Draw a map of your personal journey with God. Include small things and big things.
Write a phrase from a verse you want to memorize. Repeat it over and over again while you add lines and color around it.
Think of a word that is thrown around in Scripture or religious conversations a lot. Look up verses that the word is in and write phrases of those verses down. Pray for understanding.
Write a poem prayer.
Prayers of St. Augustine
"God of life, there are days when the burdens we carry chafe our shoulders and wear us down; when the road seems dreary and endless, the skies gray and threatening; when our lives have no music in them and our hearts are lonely, and our souls have lost their courage. Flood the path with light, we beseech you; turn our eyes to where the skies are full of promise."
"For your mercies' sake, O Lord my God, tell me what you are to me. Say to my soul: "I am your salvation." So speak that I may hear, O Lord; my heart is listening; open it that it may hear you, and say to my soul: "I am your salvation." After hearing this word, may I come in haste to take hold of you. Hide not your face from me. Let me see your face even if I die, lest I die with longing to see it. The house of my soul is too small to receive you; let it be enlarged by you. It is all in ruins; do you repair it. There are thing in it - I confess and I know - that must offend your sight. But who shall cleanse it? Or to what others besides you shall I cry out? From my secret sins cleanse me, O Lord, and from those of others spare your servant. Amen. "
