Here are two prayers that Dean and I have used over the years in praying for ourselves, our family, and ministry partners. As you pray each day, remember that God's Word cannot return void and that He is a Rewarder of those Who diligently seek His face ... YOU! (Isaiah 55:11, Hebrews 11:6)
Prayers That Get Results
A good prescription is to pray these prayers over yourself &/or your loved ones at least twice daily. Additional doses may be administered as needed!
(From Ephesians 1:16-23) [I do not cease] to give thanks for _____________________________________
That the God of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, the Father of Glory, may give unto us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him:
The eyes of our understanding being enlightened; that we may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the Glory of His inheritance in the saints,
And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power,
Which He wrought in the Anointed One, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at his own right hand in the Heavenly places,
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the church,
Which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all.
(From Ephesians 3:14-19) For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One,
Of whom the whole family in Heaven and earth is named, that He would grant __________________________________________, according to the riches of his Glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man;
That the Anointed One may dwell in our hearts by faith; that we, being rooted and grounded in love,
May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
And to know the love of the Anointed One, which passes knowledge, that we might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Before I knew much about Praying & Believing – and I'm still in the Learning Mode – our Pastor taught us to pray Psalm 1. Whether you pray it for yourself or others, it is very effective!
"Ruth is blessed because she walks not in the counsel of the ungodly. She doesn't stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of the scornful. .
Ruth's delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law she meditates day and night. She's like a tree planted by the rivers of water – She brings forth her fruit in her season. Her leaf shall not wither; and whatsoever she does prospers. .
The Lord knows Ruth's way because she's righteous. She is the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus." .
(And she'd have us add ...) "Thank You, Lord for Ruth just as she is."
It may seem that the last line is not Faith, but it is – We were thanking God for all He had done for us and in us up to that point!
❣️ Have a Blessed Day!
