Bible Verses about Prayer: Write, Color, and Memorize Set

More and more recently, I have been praying Scripture over my kids. It’s really simple, but powerful, and you can do it too.

My husband and I are reading an excellent book together called Praying the Bible by Donald S. Whitney. I’m also involved with the group Moms in Prayer which allows women to pray together weekly over their children, schools, and community using the Bible as the structure for our prayers.

NOW is the perfect time to teach your kids the gospel! Grab your Practice the gospel every day during meals. It's quick, easy, and fun!

I’ve put together some Bible verses about prayer just for you.

How to Pray from the Bible

Praying Scripture over our kids is simple.

Let me give you a quick example. The Scripture card above is from the new Bible Verses about Prayer for Moms set over at ThinkingKidsPress.com, available in both ESV and KJV.

If I sit down to pray with my Bible or with memory verse cards, I can use Scripture to praise God, confess my sins, give thanks, and engage in supplication–which is to humbly bring my requests before the Lord. I can use the verse above to petition the Lord for my kids. My prayer, using the language God used in telling me about himself when he inspired Paul to write this portion of the Bible, may sound something like this:

Father, I pray to you that (my child’s name) may not do wrong. I don’t pray this so that others will think I’ve met the test and parented well. I pray this so that (my child) may do what is right before you, even if it looks like I’ve failed as a parent. Lord, help (my child) understand that we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. Help me always remind (my child) that all truth comes from you alone. You are Truth. Lord, help (my child) remember to be glad in weakness and trials and to rejoice in your strength. Lord, I ask you for (my child’s) restoration–let him/her walk always with you.

I’ve been increasingly using this method of praying God’s words back to him, and wanted to share with you.

Prayer in the Bible

Prayer is a big deal to God. There are so many verses about prayer in the Bible.

In addition to verses about prayer in the Bible, we also see people pray all throughout Scripture. They praise God, they confess their sins, they thank God for all He’s done, and they make supplications–asking directly for needs to be fulfilled.

My favorite example of praying in the bible is Jesus. Jesus always made time to pray to His Father. Every time I read about Jesus’ time in prayer, I’m convicted that I ought to be praying more… I want to pray more. I want to spend more and more time with my Lord.

There are far more than 60 Bible verses about prayer. I went through and picked 60 Bible verses about prayer that are significant and will help inform your prayer life in some way.

60 Bible verse cards about prayer

Prayer List Bookmarks

There are 5 prayer list bookmarks, each with room for 7 names. The bookmarks have a pretty graphic and a prayer list on one side, and a beautiful coordinating floral pattern on the other side.

These bookmarks are a great reminder to pray for others throughout the day. Here are a few ways to use them:

Fill out all 5 bookmarks with a different set of names and rotate the bookmarks over 5 weeks, praying for new people each week.
Fill out all 5 bookmarks and place them in your Bible, journal, daytimer, bedside book, and by your toothbrush to remind you to pray for different people throughout the day.
At a women’s group, print a stack of bookmarks, and have the ladies commit to pray for each other in groups of 8. They can record the names of their prayer partners.
Use the bookmarks for prayer requests you often miss, like the senate or your church elders, and store the bookmarks in your Bible to help you remember to pray for institutions and those in leadership.

Prayer Encouragement Notecards

The Bible Verses about Prayer set contains 4 prayer encouragement notecards. Each has a pretty floral graphic on the front. The inside of each says, “I’m praying for you today.” Praying for a friend is a wonderful way to love them. It’s also encouraging to hear that we’re being prayed for by others. Use these cards to let someone know you’re praying.

These prayer notecards are a great way to edify others. Here are a few ways to use them:

When the Lord puts someone on your heart to pray for, write them an encouraging note and drop it in the mail, letting them know you’re praying.
Let your friend know what you’re praying, encouraging her to seek the Lord in all she does.
Write a helpful verse or two in the card.
Attach the card to a small gift, like chocolate or a bouquet of flowers, to remind a suffering friend she’s being prayed for.

How to Print the Bible Verses about Prayer Set for Moms

Download your PDF file and save it to your computer.
Print these cards on duplex (back-to-back or double-sided). You’ll want to flip on the SHORT edge for these. You should be able to change the settings for this in the Properties tab of your printer box once you download and tell your computer to print.
I recommend printing on white cardstock so the cards will be more durable and the back won’t show through on the front.
