15+ PRAYER POINTS THAT ARE POWERFUL AND STRONG WITH BIBLE VERSES

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy for more info.

May these 15 prayer points bring prayers for breakthrough, a prayer for favor, and many other prayer topics for your daily walk with God. 

It doesn’t matter if you are new or experienced in prayer points.

The power of prayer is such a life giving wonder and a safe haven during our best and worst times. 

Prayer is a conversation with God.

My favorite analogy on prayer to God is when we have a conversation with a friend venting, celebrating, or just needing to be heard.

Much like these conversations with a friend, Jesus is our friend who listens when we speak to Him. 

I am fascinated by the plethora of resources on the theological studies of prayer topics.

In short, there are many types of prayer. Melissa Tumino takes us on a deeper dive as to the 9 Types Of Prayer In The Bible explaining the biblical meaning behind prayers. 

It’s never too late to start praying using prayer points. 

You may wonder, “Why do we pray?”

We pray because in the Bible, God told us to pray. 

Prayer gives us hope — hope for comfort, provision, love, peace, and grace. When we are praying to the Father, we are also choosing to trust in His will for our circumstances. 

All you need for effective prayer points is to simply have faith and the willingness to seek God. 

Jeremiah 29:12 tells us that when we pray to God, He will listen to us. 

Jeremiah 29:12 Amplified Bible (AMP) Then you will call on Me and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear [your voice] and I will listen to you.

Have you ever thought that your situation is just too small or too big for God to handle? 

I’m here to tell you that this is simply not true. Nothing is too small nor too big for God to handle.

In Philippians 4:6, the bible tells us that we are to share not only the most important things to God, but everything.

Every circumstance, every prayer, He wants to hear them all.

Why?

Because He loves you; beyond your wildest dreams, God loves you. 

Philippians 4:6 Amplified Bible (AMP) 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.

But have you ever been in a situation where you just don’t know how to pray during a specific situation?

Perhaps you are mentally and emotionally burnt out and feel hopeless.

Or perhaps you are facing temptations that are not good for you and don’t know if you have the strength to overcome them.

Declaring prayer points that target challenging areas and communicating your heart with the Lord is essential to help overcome temptation.

I believe that the Holy Spirit will meet you where you are and help you in your situation. 

Matthew 26:41 English Standard Version (ESV) Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Prayer points aren’t only for our moments of despair.

You can use prayer points even when you experience a true miracle or an answer to prayer thanking God for His provisions.

It is our responsibility to pray and rejoice continually in all circumstances (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 New International Version (NIV) Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

This post is to introduce you to the start of a series on the different types of Prayer Points.

Throughout the years, I’ve added more prayer points (so there are more than 15!).

If you have a specific prayer point that you would like to share, please comment down below.

The power of prayer has irrevocably and undeniably changed my life.

I hope that these prayers for favor from business breakthrough prayers to breakthrough prayer points in your personal life will increase your spiritual growth in the Lord.

Therefore, put on the complete armor of God, so that you will be able to [successfully] resist and stand your ground in the evil day [of danger],

nd having strapped on your feet the gospel of peace in preparation [to face the enemy with firm-footed stability and the readiness produced by the good news].
