Here are a few verses to review:
- Matt. 6:10-11 - ask for His kingdom to come and for daily bread
- Matt 7:7 - and it will be given to you.
-Matt 18:19 - if two or more agree on earth and ask it will be done.
- Mark 11:24 - whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you've received it and it will be yours
-John 14:14 - if you ask in my name I will do it.
- John 15:7 - if you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask whatever
- John 16:24 - ask in His name and you will receive and have fullness or joy
- Phil. 4:6 - let him ask in faith without doubting
- 1 John 5:14 - If we ask according to His will He will hear us.
We pray Because God expects, longs and looks for us to ask. In prayer we discover not only the power of God but also the privilege of humanity. Through prayer, we participate in a divine dance of creation shaping the world around us and drawing closer to the One who hears our every word.C

Perhaps the following might guide our prayers:
God of grace and comfort, enfold XXXX with your mercy. Strengthen he/she/them with the shield of faith, and enable them to trust you in all that lies ahead; heal XXXX and bear his pain, keep him in peace and fix his heart on you; through Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord. Amen (EvLW: Occasional Services for the Assembly, page 286)
Almighty and merciful God, you are the only source of health and healing; you alone can bring calmness and peace. Grant to XXXX an awareness of your presence and a strong confidence in you. In their weariness, pain, and anxiety, surround them with your care, protect them by your loving might and grant XXXX once again the gifts of health and strength and peace; through Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord. Amen. (EvLW: Occasional Services for the Assembly, page 285)
Compassionate God, support and strengthen all those who reach out in love, concern, and prayer for the sick and distressed. In their acts of compassion , may they know that they are your instruments. In their concerns and fears, may they know your peace. In their faithful serving, may they know your steadfast love. May they not grow weary or faint-hearted, for your mercy's sake. Amen. (EvLW: Occasional Services for the Assembly, page 297)
