The following is a list of Spiritual Confessions that you may find helpful in your prayer life . It is straight scripture. You can pick out about 20 or so and use them as a prayer. Read them out loud! Why use them as a prayer? Remember these simple facts

*
Gods word never returns void! Isaiah 55:10
*
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availed much James 5:16
*
Christ answered Satan using scripture Matt 4:1-11
*
Casting all your cares upon him for he cares for you 1 Peter 5:7
*
The tongue has the power of life and death, Prov 18:21 (GW)
*
God's word is living and active. It is sharper than any two-edged sword and cuts as deep... God's word judges a person's thoughts and intentions. Heb 4:12 (GW)

Now that is effective prayer!
