When I think of the value of praying the Bible, I think about superfoods. While the term “superfood” may be more of a marketing term than a scientific one, the simple idea rings true. A superfood is a food that is rich in nutrients beneficial to our health. When you eat a superfood like blueberries, broccoli, salmon, or kale, you get more nutrients and more benefits than eating a non-superfood.
In the following video clip taken from the free Pray the Bible course, Kevin Halloran shares how praying the Bible is like a superfood in that it will bring us many more benefits than simply trying to pray out of the resources of our minds and hearts. And the good news is that the Bible tastes better than kale! As Psalm 19:10 says, it is sweeter than honey.

Other obstacles are practical; we don’t know what to say or we simply can’t focus for prayer.
