Why is prayer important? God does nothing except in response to believing prayer. The prayer of faith is the one force that can turn your life into a testimony of God's divine power. In fact, it is the only power in the universe that can change the purposes of God and bring victory to the Christian life. Even so, it is a power that is too infrequently used by many. Though prayer also includes adoration (Psalms 144-150 Luke 1:46-55 ), confession (Psalm 51; Luke 18:13 ), and thanksgiving (Psalm 75; 1 Thess 1:2 ), Christian prayer has always been essentially petitionary. With that being our starting point, here are some prayers that you can use, listen or add to. A prayer for wisdom, knowledge and understanding. A wiseman once said 
that wisdom was the principal thing; to get wisdom and understanding. (Proverbs 4:7) God, your wisdom and 
ways are unsearchable. (Romans 11:33) Lord, I love your laws, 
commandments, precepts, doctrines and truth. (Psalms 119:159)
For you alone give true wisdom; out of your mouth comes knowledge and understanding. You lay up sound wisdom for the righteous. (Proverbs 2:6-7) Fill my heart and mind with all wisdom, knowledge and understanding to do your perfect will. In Jesus name, I pray in faith for it to be done. Prayer shows God our dependence upon Him, and willingness to hear and obey. The Apostles knew that it was the key to everything. They said, "But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word." Acts 6:4 What more can I say? Time would fail me to tell of answered prayers by King David to subdue his enemies. Daniel, for his  personal protection against lions. Samson, to judge and deliver him from the Philistines (today, the Palestinians afflict Israel in their place). Joshua who by his prayer, God heard and stopped the sun for about a day.
