For decades, I\u2019ve <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobhostetler.com\/31-ways-to-pray-app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prayed a daily verse for my children and (now) grandchildren<\/a>. I <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/bible-resources\/psalms\/pray-the-psalms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pray the Psalms<\/a>. (Pray the psalms) I pray the Bible <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/12-best-bible-prayers-for-the-morning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the morning <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/prayers-for-stronger-faith\/10-best-evening-prayers-from-the-bible\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the evening<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Among my favorite places in the Bible to turn to when I pray is Philippians 4:8. Paul, the great first-century church planter and letter writer, told the church in Philippi: <\/p>\n<p>Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/daily-devotions\/devotions-for-good-health\/the-upside-of-letting-things-slide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whatever is lovely,<\/a> whatever is admirable\u2014if anything is excellent or praiseworthy\u2014think about such things (Philippians 4:8, NIV).<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about such things naturally turns my mind to praying for those I love, those I meet and <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/daily-devotions\/devotions-for-women\/prayers-for-a-stranger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">especially those I don\u2019t know much about.<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>How does it work? Easy. For example, I might <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/daily-devotions\/loved-ones-devotions\/a-prayer-of-thanks-for-my-daughter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pray for my daughter,<\/a> \u201cLord, today let her be guided by the truth of Your Word. Let her actions be noble and right. Keep her motives pure. Enhance her natural loveliness with the beauty of Your presence. Make every choice she makes an admirable one, let her work today be characterized by excellence and her conduct in everything be praiseworthy.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Or I might pray for myself: \u201cGracious God, open my eyes today to whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable\u2014if anything is excellent or praiseworthy\u2014give me eyes to see and the grace to<a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/how-prayers-of-gratitude-can-help-you-fight-depression\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> give You thanks for it all.\u201d  <\/a><\/p>\n<p>I might see a post on social media asking for prayer without offering any details, so I\u2019ll pray, \u201cFather, I don\u2019t know this person\u2019s need of the moment, but whatever it is, let whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable\u2014and excellent or praiseworthy\u2014flood into his situation and meet his need.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The simple words of Philippians 4:8 provide a powerful, purposeful and positive pattern for <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/quotes-verses\/one-word-prayers-to-help-you-through-any-situation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">every kind of situation.<\/a> It\u2019s worth memorizing the verse (if you haven\u2019t already) so you can pray it in private or public whenever a need arises.
