We have numerous commands and examples throughout the New Testament of prayer to God as worship.
| Acts 2:42 |
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the
breaking of bread, and in prayers. |
| Acts 12:5 |
Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for
him by the church. |
| 1 Timothy 2:8 |
I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without
wrath and doubting; |
| 1 Thessalonians 5:17 |
Pray without ceasing. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:15 |
What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray
with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with
the understanding. |
| Matthew 26:41 |
"Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing,
but the flesh is weak." |
| Matthew 6:5-15 |
"And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they
love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that
they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your
door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who
sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use
vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for
their many words. Therefore do not be like them. For your Father
knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. In this
manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As
we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But
deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the
glory forever. Amen. For if you forgive men their trespasses, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive
men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. |
