10 Bible Verses about Heartfelt Prayer To God

Brothers, my hearts desire and my prayer to God for Israel is for their salvation.

Before I had finished speaking in my heart, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring and drew, and I said to her, 'Please let me drink.'

Likewise the Spirit also helps our weaknesses. We do not know what we should pray for, as we should. The Spirit [of God] makes intercession with groaning that cannot be spoken.

Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man helps much.
