Profiting From the Word Chapter 4: The Scriptures and Prayer

The Word of God is the Christian's guide in prayer, and that there is great spiritual profit in praying scripturally.
"Who ever lived a busier life than our Savior? Yet who found more time for prayer?"
"We do not know what we should pray for as we ought" (Romans 8:26)
The Holy Spirit intercedes for us in words we cannot articulate, and He also helps us articulate our needs and desires to the Father.
Do you, as James says, ask but not receive because you "ask amiss"?
We are profited from the Scriptures when we are taught how to plead God's promises.
Then "let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith" (Hebrews 10:22).
