I like to copy the Scriptures I pray into my journal. These verses strengthen my faith. I will list some of those verses, but you can add verses that are specific to your prayer needs. Keep them handy (or better yet, memorize them!)
After fasting forty days and forty nights, he (Jesus) was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Matthew 4: 2-4 NIV

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.” Psalm 122:6
“Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” Luke 18:1 NIV (emphasis mine)
This is the parable:
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
“For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”
And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:2-8 NIV

“As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” Acts 17:10-11 NIV (emphasis mine)
Lord, Teach us to be like the Bereans, examining the Scriptures to see if the things we read and hear are true. Amen

They were caught hiding Jews from the Nazis during WWII. Corrie ten Boom, her sister, and their elderly father were arrested and eventually sent to Ravensbruck Concentration Camp. Corrie described Ravensbruck as “the deepest hell that man can create”.¹
Corrie survived Ravensbruck, but if anyone ever had an excuse to worry, it would be her. This is what Corrie had to say about worrying.
“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength. It does not enable us to escape evil. It makes us unfit to face evil when it comes. It is the interest you pay on trouble before it comes.”
Corrie Ten Boom’s book, The Hiding Place, profoundly affected me as a young adult. Corrie lived her life, before, during, and after Ravensbruck, serving the Lord Jesus Christ.
Her faith and trust in Jesus will encourage you through any trial you may face. If you have never read The Hiding Place, I strongly encourage you to do so. There is also a very good movie. You can watch the trailer HERE.
“Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours].” Philippians 4:6-7 AMP
So many times, people say, “I’m a worrier. I worry about everybody.” It’s as if they think it’s a badge of honor. It’s not! To worry means we are not trusting God. To please God, we must have faith. We must trust Him.
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6 NIV
If I have learned anything on my Christian journey of 60+ years, it is this: Seek God with all your heart. Love Him with all your heart. Trust Him with all your heart. Obey His Word with all your heart. If you do that, He will take care of everything else.
Take it from Corrie, “Worry is like a rocking chair; it keeps you busy but does not bring you farther.”
