Ways to sharpen my Iron

Romans 12:12 (NASB95)

rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer,

Psalm 141:2 NASB95

May my prayer be counted as incense before You; The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering.

Romans 8:24–27 NASB95

For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

I Samuel 12:23

New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update Chapter 12

23 “Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you; but I will instruct you in the good and right way.

Mark 1:35 NASB95

In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there.

The more we pray, the more we shall want to pray. The more we pray, the more we can pray. The more we pray, the more we shall pray. He who prays little will pray less, but he who prays much will pray more. And he who prays more, will desire to pray more abundantly.

— Charles H. Spurgeon

Psalm 5:3 NASB95

In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.

Ephesians 6:18–20

New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update Chapter 6

18 With all prayer and petition bpray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, dbe on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,

19 and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,

20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
