Praying God's word, The Holy Bible, will build your relationship with God and increase your peace and results in prayer. You'll also learn what God says about situations in your life and the lives of others. In Hebrews 4:12, God tells us, "For the word of God is alive and powerful..." and when we pray God's word we will see how it is alive and powerful!
Also when we pray God's word, we know that we are praying in God's will! God tells us in 1 John 5:14-15, "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him."
