Prayer Proclamations:
Some Suggested Scriptures


Not every line of Scripture translates into prayer, especially not into prayer affirmations. So let me give you a few Scriptures in case you need a jump-start.

This is NOT a comprehensive list, But, it is a handy tool to have. Print off this page to keep close to your Bible or journal…or both.

Look up these Scriptures. Write out those that cry for your attention. While you are there, check out the passage in which the Scripture occurs. You could hit the motherlode!

Add to this list as you find Scriptures pulsating with life. At some point, I recommend that you organize your Scriptures by theme or category. Such organization makes a particular Scripture easier to locate once your list becomes bulky.



Psalms
Psalm 23 and Psalm 91 – the whole psalm…maybe that’s why these two are so popular!...just change the pronouns and verb tenses

Psalm51, 119, and 139 – don’t even need the pronouns and verbs changed

You may not want to pray the whole Psalm. Not problem! Pray the parts that most resonate with your spirit.

Almost every Psalm has a line that can be prayed. The Book of Psalms is a goldmine to be worked. If you really enjoy praying Psalms, visit my blog: Praying Through Psalms.
