Seventy-two Prayers in Psalms:

73-123. David. In 50 prayer-psalms he made requests for various blessings, most
of them being answered because of faith in Gods promises (Psalms 3-7; 9;
12:1-13:6; 16:1-17:15; 19:1-20:9; 22; 25:1-31:24; 35:1-36:12; 38:1-41:13; 51;
54:1-61:8; 64; 69:1-70:5; 86; 108:1-109:31; 119; 124; 132; 139:1-144:15). The
ones unanswered will be answered in due time for David even prayed about
future events.
124-138. An unknown psalmist (perhaps David) prayed for many kinds of

blessings, which were granted or will be granted (Psalms 10; 33; 43:1-44:26; 71;
85; 88; 102; 106; 118; 120; 123; 125; 129; 137).
139-143. Asaph made many requests to God (in 5 prayers) for various kinds of
blessing which were granted or will yet be granted (Psalms 74; 79:1-80:19;
82:1-83:18).
144. Moses makes requests to God (Psalms 90).
145. Ethan made requests for God to remember the reproach of His servants
(Psalms 89).
Thus, in 72 of the 150 psalms there are personal requests to God, making them
de nitely prayer-psalms. A few of the other 78 may also be considered such because of
the general nature of the subject matter. Even in the listed prayer-psalms many subjects
are more outstanding than the prayers. See notes on these psalms.

Besides the actual worded prayers in these 31 books of the Bible, there are many
passages in them, as well as in some of the 35 books containing no prayers, that give
much instruction on the subject of prayer. It is thought by some that there are a number
of prayers in the epistles, but in reality, these books contain only statements to
Christians regarding the apostles praying for them that God would bless them, or they
give instructions for Christians to pray and tell them what to pray for. These are not
actual prayers addressed to God, however (Rom 1:8-10 (http://biblia.com/bible
/esv/Rom%201.8-10); 16:20 (http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Rom%2016.20); Eph
1:15-20 (http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Eph%201.15-20); 3:13-21 (http://biblia.com
/bible/esv/Eph%203.13-21); Phil 1:2-7 (http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Phil%201.2-7);
Col 1:3-14 (http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Col%201.3-14); 1 Thess 1:2-3
(http://biblia.com/bible/esv/1%20Thess%201.2-3); 3:9-13 (http://biblia.com/bible
/esv/1%20Thess%203.9-13); 1 Tim 1:3-7 (http://biblia.com/bible
/esv/1%20Tim%201.3-7); 2 Tim 4:14-18 (http://biblia.com/bible

Elijah Cross
#192 was not an answered prayer to be saved from death in the garden. Christ
prayed that the cup of Gods wrath would pass him by without him having to
30 of 40 1/5/2017 10:33 PM
drink it. But he was fully submitted to the Fathers will. This prayer of Christs
was not answered, and he drank the cup of Gods wrath to the dregs when he
bore our sin on the cross. The fact that the Father did not answer this prayer of
Christs means that he will now answer the prayers of believers that are prayed
according to his will. You entirely missed the gospel in your misunderstanding
of this prayer.

and then went and sat down opposite him, about a bowshot away; for she said
to herself, I cannot watch the child die. As she sat opposite him, she wept
aloud. 17 God heard the boys voice, and Gods angel called to Hagar from
heaven: What is the matter, Hagar? Do not fear; God has heard the boys voice
in this plight of his. (Gen, 21:16-17) I always thought that Hagar was praying in
this passage, even though we dont know what she was praying.

Reading the short paragraph which precedes the list of non direct prayers, I
would accept the authors note that the writers in the various books mentioned
were not directly lifting up their praise, thanksgiving, or intercession, directly
to the throne of grace , but rather by the way of encouragement to the
believers in each instant, were letting the folks know Im praying for you, and
in some cases revealing the nature of the individuals intercession on their
behalf.
32 of 40 1/5/2017 10:33 PM
However, it is good to know that out their there are folks who, for righteous
reasons, take time to check Gods Word for themselves and discern the
writings of other imperfect pilgrims walking in the light of Christ.

I dont understand why Ephesians 3:14-21 (http://biblia.com/bible
/esv/Eph%203.14-21) is not classed as a direct prayer, when in v16 Paul says I
pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you Etc and he
nishes the prayer with Amen. at v21.
I used this as prayer for others to come to faith and to be strengthened and
deepened in their faith, and it works. I think it is a very nice prayer, and am
surprised that you do not see it as a prayer.
Many thanks,
God bless, Donna xxx

I was thinking the exact same thing; I just posted that verse on FB and was
surprised that wasnt included here.
Nevertheless, this prayers list is very helpful.
JULY 24, 2015 (HTTPS://WWW.HOPEFAITHPRAYER.COM/PRAYERNEW/222-PRAYERS-

FaithMechanic (https://www.hopefaithprayer.com)
Donna There are several example prayers that Paul prayed that are not
33 of 40 1/5/2017 10:33 PM
included on the list. Some are a hard call to determine if it is a actual

historical prayer or an example for teaching about prayer. Ephesians
3:14-21 (http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Eph%203.14-21) could go either way.
