By praying, we can take the breath of God’s word and make it deep in our hearts. God’s word doesn’t return void, according to Isaiah 55:11 (AMP) So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me void (useless, without result), Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
So, according to Isaiah, we can depend upon God’s word to manifest in our lives as long as we are praying His breath of words.
Sometimes, I combine scriptures in prayers as I did with Psalms 103:1-5.
Psalms 103:1-5 (NKJV)
Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
This is how I pray Psalms 103:1-5
Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits: for He daily loads us with benefits
Who forgives all your iniquities, Holy Spirit look in the deepest darkest part of my heart and expose all the wickedness, iniquities, and sins hidden. I choose to lay myself at the burning altar as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to you. I submit myself to the holy purification fire to become the sweet aroma to your senses.
Who heals all your diseases, Saturate me with your healing touch from the top of my head to the soul of my feet. Let your healing power saturate every fiber of my being, my muscles, ligament, tendons, all my organs, by bone be filled with healthy marrow, my cells be alive in you and regenerating. My red and white blood cells be balance. My hormones, blood sugar, and blood pressure be balance and perfect. My stem cells be alive in you functioning as a young person. Your blood runs through my veins purifying my blood. My brain is function and reconnecting where it needs to be.
Who redeems your life from destruction, Your hand of protection is upon me and my family, covered by your blood.
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Saturate me with your love and peace until every fiber of my being is saturated and your pace and love is pouring out every pour of my body satiating the atmosphere around me.
Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that only words of life and truth comes forth out of my mouth.
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.. and my flesh restored like a new baby flesh.

Do you combine scriptures in a prayer? Are you finding what He says about any situation you face in God’s beautiful word and praying accordingly?
