Then Yahuah appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. 2 Chronicles 7:12-13

Nevertheless we made our prayer to our Alahim, and because of them we set a watch against them day and night. Nehemiah 4:9

Psalms 55:1-3

Hear my cry, O Alahim; attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink; let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters. Let not the floodwater overflow me, nor let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut its mouth on me. Psalms 69:13-15

O Yahuah Alahim of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O Alahim of Jacob! Selah O Alahim, behold our shield, and look upon the face of Your anointed. For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my Alahim than dwell in the tents of wickedness. For Yahuah Alahim is a sun and shield; Yahuah will give favor and honor; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Yahuah of hosts, barakah (blessed) is the man who trusts in You! Psalms 84:8-12

Daniel 9:3-5

When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahuah; and my prayer went up to You, into Your sacred temple. Jonah 2:7

Then the disciples came to Yahusha privately and said, “Why could we not cast him out?” So Yahusha said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have belief as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” Matthew 17:19-21

So Cornelius said, “Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your alms are remembered in the sight of Yahuah. Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea. When he comes, he will speak to you.’ “So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in assurance, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the morally righteous, given to hospitality. Barak (bless) those who persecute you; Barak (bless) and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Romans 12:9-15

Let us continue to go and pray before Yahuah, and seek Yahuah of hosts. Zechariah 8:21

“And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. Matthew 6:5-8

Let us continue to go and pray before Yahuah, and seek Yahuah of hosts. Zechariah 8:21

In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in the shamayim, Righteous is Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in the shamayim. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the honor forever. Amen.

Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear Yahuah nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear Yahuah nor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ “Then the Yahuah said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall Yahuah not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Luke 18:1-8

Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘Yahuah, I thank You that I am not like other men–extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to the shamayim, but beat his breast, saying, ‘Yahuah, be compassionate to me a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 18:10-14

Pray that you may not enter into temptation. Luke 22:40

And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever– the Ruach (Spirit) of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. John 14:16-18

In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from Yahuah. I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.” John 16:26-28

Likewise the Ruach  also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Ruach Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26

Now I pray to Yahuah that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though we may seem disqualified. For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 2 Corinthians 13:7-9

For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. And this also we pray, that you may be made complete. 2 Corinthians 13:9

And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of the Messiah, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Yahusha the Messiah, to the honor and praise of Yahuah. Phil 1:9-11

For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and Ruach understanding; that you may have a walk worthy of Yahuah, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of Yahuah; strengthened with all might, according to His great power, for all patience and long-suffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. Colossians 1:9-12

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of Yahuah in Yahusha the Messiah for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Therefore we also pray always for you that our Yahuah would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of trust with power, that the name of our Master, Yahusha the Messiah may be honored in you, and you in Him, according to the favor of Yahuah and the Master, Yahusha the Messiah. 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of Yahuah may run swiftly and be honored, just as it is with you, and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith. 2 Thessalonians 3:1, 2

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 2
