A few reasons to pray:

1. Far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you. 1Sa 12:23 [NIV]
2. If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2Ch 7:14 [NIV]
3. In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before You and wait in expectation. Psa 5:3 [NIV]
4. They cried to You and were saved; in You they trusted and were not disappointed. Psa 22:5 [NIV]
5. Your face, LORD, I will seek. Psa 27:8 [NIV]
6. This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; He saved him out of all his troubles. Psa 34:6 [NIV]
7. I cry out to God Most High, Who fulfills His purpose for me. Psa 57:2 [NIV]
8. The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD. Pro 21:31 [NIV]
9. I called on Your name, O LORD, from the depths of the pit. You heard my plea . . . You came near when I called You, and You said, “Do not fear.” O LORD, You took up my case; You redeemed my life. Lam 3:55-58 [NIV]
10. Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak. Mar 14:38 [NIV]
11. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. Rom 8:26-27 [NIV]
12. On Him we have set our hope that He will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. 2Co 1:10,11 [NIV]
13. Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Col 4:2 [NIV]
14. Pray continually. 1Th 5:17 [NIV]
15. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Jam 5:16 [NIV]
16. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their prayer. 1Pe 3:12 [NIV]

A few examples of what to pray for:

1. Pray that I may be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there. Rom 15:31 [NIV]
2. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you. Eph 1:18 [NIV]
3. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Eph 3:16-17 [NIV]
4. Always keep on praying for all the saints. Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel. Eph 6:18-19 [NIV]
5. And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight. Php 1:9 [NIV]
6. We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you. Col 1:3 [NIV]
7. We have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God. Col 1:9-10 [NIV]
8. Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith. 1Th 3:10 [NIV]
9. With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of His calling, and that by His power He may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2Th 1:11 12 [NIV]
10. Finally, brothers, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you. And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith. 2Th 3:1-2 [NIV]
11. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 1Ti 2:1-4 [NIV]
12. I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. Phm 1:6 [NIV]

A few of my favorite prayers:

1. O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth below - You who keep Your covenant of love with Your servants who continue wholeheartedly in Your way. 1Ki 8:23 [NIV]
2. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is Yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; You are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from You; You are the ruler of all things. In Your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give You thanks and praise Your glorious name. 1Ch 29:11-13 [NIV]

5. Blessed be Your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise. You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship You. Neh 9:5b-6 [NIV]
6. When I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? Psa 56:3-4 [NIV]
7. The heavens are Yours, and Yours also the earth; You founded the world and all that is in it. You created the north and the south; Your arm is endued with power; Your hand is strong, Your right hand exalted. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; love and faithfulness go before You. Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim You, who walk in the light of Your presence, O LORD. They rejoice in Your name all day long; they exult in Your righteousness. For You are their glory and strength, and by Your favor You exalt our horn. Psa 89:11-17 [NIV]
8. I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing of You among the peoples. For great is Your love, higher than the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let Your glory be over all the earth. Psa 108:3 5 [NIV]
9. O LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You and praise Your name, for in perfect faithfulness You have done marvelous things, things planned long ago. Isa 25:1 [NIV]
10. O LORD, be gracious to us; we long for You. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress. Isa 33:2 [NIV]
11. Do any of the worthless idols of the nations bring rain? Do the skies themselves send down showers? No, it is You, O LORD our God. Therefore our hope is in You, for You are the One who does all this. Jer 14:22 [NIV]
12. Ah, Sovereign LORD, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for You. Jer 32:17 [NIV]
13. You, O LORD, reign forever; Your throne endures from generation to generation. . . Restore us to Yourself, O LORD, that we may return; renew our days as of old unless You have utterly rejected us and are angry with us beyond measure. Lam 5:19-22 [NIV]
14. Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are His. He changes times and seasons; He sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; He knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells in Him. I thank and praise You, O God of my fathers. Dan 2:20-23 [NIV]
15. We do not make requests of You because we are righteous, but because of Your great mercy. Dan 9:18 [NIV]
16. LORD, I have heard of Your fame; I stand in awe of Your deeds, O LORD. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. Hab 3:2 [NIV]
17. You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they were created and have their being. Rev 4:11 [NIV]
18. Great and marvelous are Your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are Your ways, King of the ages. Who will not fear You, O Lord, and bring glory to Your name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed. Rev 15:3-4 [NIV]

See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. A wise man has great power, and a man of knowledge increases strength; for waging war you need guidance [the Scriptures], and for victory many advisers [the teaching of God-fearing men]. From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it [not feel-good, easy-believism]. Anyone who lives on milk, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use [of the Scriptures] have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. [Col 2:8; Pro 24:5-6; Mat 11:12; Heb 5:13-14 NIV] The summary of this is Php 2:12: "Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling" [and the context is --] through your obedience to Christ, holding firmly to the Scriptures.
