Here's A List Of The Top 10 Prayers To Keep On Hand!

Prayer is an incredibly powerful tool. In fact, there are many references in the Bible encouraging us in this act.

Philippians 4:6 "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Colossians 4:2 "Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving." 1 Thessalonians 5:17 "Pray without ceasing."

Sometimes, though, we need a little inspiration to get us going. Or, we know what we need to pray about, but are just not quite sure how. That's why, when I came across this list of prayers on Crosswalk, I knew I had to share! They've compiled a list of the top 10 prayer topics from the past year, and it's sure to come in handy! Enjoy and be inspired!
