Prominent Prayers of the Bible!

          Timothy A. Douglass has complied an impressive list of the major prayer recorded in God's Word for us. In our Church we are currently studying Matthew 6:9-15 and the principles Jesus teaches for prayer. Thought this would be helpful for all to find and read different prayers as a means to see how Jesus teaching is consistent with those who followed God.
          One thought or suggestion would be to read a different prayer a day and simply allow the Holy Spirit to speak and teach you about prayer through the example of Scripture itself.
