7 Most Powerful Prayers in the Bible

1. Prayer Against Fear

When you are feel you are in need of comfort and strength in the Lord, Psalm 27 is the prayer to pray. It reminds us that God is with us and we are not to let fear take control of our lives.

Even when we feel like we are fighting a losing battle, it is important to remember that God is on your side, and that He has a plan for your life. One that is worth fighting for. One that is better that what we can imagine and one that exalts God in every way.

Psalm 27:1-3

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell.
Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.

2. Prayer of Paul the Apostle for Wisdom and Understanding

If you are praying for wisdom and understanding for yourself or others, this prayer from Paul the apostle is powerful.

Here Paul asks that the Colossians would be given spiritual wisdom and understanding. This is not just head knowledge, but a deep understanding of spiritual things. We need this wisdom and understanding to navigate the challenges of life and to make decisions that honour God.

As you can see, this prayer of Paul is a great model for us to follow and is a great example of how we should pray for others.

Colossians 1:9-12

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 spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

3. Prayer of Blessing Over Loved Ones

This is a beautiful prayer to bless your loved ones.

In this prayer we are asking for Gods blessings and grace to be poured upon us to bring us peace.

This is a simple yet powerful prayer that asks God for four things: to bless you, to be gracious to you, to shine His wonderful face upon you, and give you peace. Many people have found that praying this prayer daily has helped them to focus on God’s glory and power, and to trust in the sovereign Lord to pour His peace and blessings over our lives.

Numbers 6:24-26

The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

4. Powerful Prayer of Protection

The most powerful prayer in the book of Psalms is found in Chapter 91. It is a prayer of comfort and assurance, reminding us that God is always with us, even in the darkest of times.

Psalm 91 is a powerful prayer of protection from all evil and dangers. No matter what the enemy brings against you, you can rest assured that the hand of God is on your life if you rest your faith in Him.

Psalm 91:1-2

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”

5. Prayer for Healing

In Matthew Chapters 8 and 9 we see the healing power of Jesus restoring sight to the blind, casting out demons and healing all kinds of infirmities.

Jesus healed them all because of their faith. For example, a father asks Jesus to cleanse his son from an unclean spirit. He asks Jesus, if you can do anything, have compassion and help us, for which Jesus replied – And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.” Mark 9:23 (ESV)

This is so powerful and comforting to know that Jesus heals, it is our faith that can cause the healing to release into our lives.

Another healing scripture is in Luke 5:12, where Jesus cleansers a leper. Before he received his healing, the man with leprosy asked Jesus, that if you are willing – make me clean. And Jesus healed him.

Jesus is a compassionate God who heals the sick and delivers the oppressed. Praying persistently and giving glory to Him even when we haven’t yet received our healing brings us closer to our breakthrough.

Psalm 6:2

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak;
O Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

6. Prayer for Provision

One of the other names of God in Hebrew is Jehovah-Jireh, which means God-will-provide. (Genesis 22:13-15). In Matthew Chapter 6:31-33, we learn from Jesus’ teachings that we are seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and He will meet our needs. It is such a powerful teaching where we understand the fact, that if God can feed the birds and nourish the grass in the fields – of how much more value are we to Him? All we are to do is to humble ourselves before Him and pray giving thanks and glory to Jesus.

Here is a powerful prayer from the Bible that you can pray to ask God bless and provide for your needs.

Psalm 86:1-4

Hear me, Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
Guard my life, for I am faithful to you; save your servant who trusts in you.
You are my God; have mercy on me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.
Bring joy to your servant, Lord, for I put my trust in you.

7. The Lords Prayer

Finally we have the Lord’s prayer. The prayer that Jesus taught His disciples to pray.

The Lord’s Prayer is not only a powerful prayer in and of itself, but that it also serves as a template for how we should approach prayer in general. By following the structure and content of the Lord’s Prayer, we can deepen our relationship with God and experience the power of prayer in our lives.

The Lord’s prayer consists of a few segments that we are to use in our daily prayer life.

First, is to acknowledge God as our Father, which shows the personal relationship we have with Him – as our Father.

Second, it recognizes God’s Almighty power, as we ask for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Third, it asks for our daily needs to be met, which shows our dependence on God. Next, it talks about the importance of forgiving others.

Finally, we ask for the protection from evil, which acknowledges the spiritual battle we face in our daily lives

This is one of the best prayers to be taught to children and is a comfort prayer, giving God all the glory and honour He deserves.

Matthew 6:9-13

In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come. Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
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 glory forever. Amen.
