Your Own Prayer Time
The Scripture-based prayers in the book, Praying Through the New Testament, are laid out in side-by-side format. The left-side, REQUESTS, PRAYERS & THANKSGIVING, is
to pray for yourself. This will also prepare your heart to intercede
for the students. The right-side of the book from the same portion of
Scripture is INTERCESSION prayers to pray for the students. Pray each paragraph prayer for a different student.
Alternate Way to Pray the Prayers. Pray the Request prayers for yourself, then pray the entire Intercession Page for one student. Pray the next page for yourself, and pray the entire Intercession Page for a different student.
Pray these paragraph prayers for students, professors, staff, missionaries, and others.
The underlined (NEED / DESCRIPTION) on the INTERCESSION side, indicates the type of prayer that follows. Substitute a student's name with that need. As you intercede, choose the appropriate pronoun (i.e., he/she, him/her) for that student. At first, the composition may seem awkward, but soon you will hardly notice it.
Scripture reference for the prayer is indicated at the top of each page. You may want to read the portion, then pray.
Let the Lord minister to you. Pause to meditate and pray further as the Lord leads.
Praying with a Partner
Praying this way is a good way to pray with a friend, prayer partner or your spouse. Pray for yourselves; then for the students.One person prays (reads aloud) half of the REQUESTS, PRAYERS & THANKSGIVING prayers. Your partner prays (reads aloud) the other half. Or alternate praying the paragraph prayers. Follow with spontaneous prayers for yourselves. Pray the same way using the INTERCESSION prayers.
Some people may find this a good way to begin praying aloud, or to GROW IN PRAYER by praying God's word back to Him.
Scripture prayers can put into words the deep desires we have for the Lord, ourselves and for others.
