The Spirit’s Groan (Rom 8:22–27)

This one’s different. It’s technically not our prayer at all. It’s the Spirit’s prayer, uttered when we can’t form words. But that’s exactly why it belongs in the list. This is God praying for you, in you, when you’re past praying.

Welcome to Gospel Rant Podcast and DrBillSenyard YouTube channel.

As I said about the Old Testament ranking, they are all favorites of God. This list represents my highly subjective assessment. You may disagree with one or two, or which is ranked over another. Great. I would love to hear your thoughts. Bill@Gospel-App.com.

One way or another, each is a powerful testimony of how real people really prayed. Spoiler alert.

The Top 5 are from the lips of Jesus Himself. They are clearly worthy of study and embracing.

Welcome to the Top 10 Prayers of the New Testament.

We will see what you think.

“What? The Lord’s Prayer is #8--not even top 5? Irreverent?” I get it. It’s Jesus’ words—familiar, revered. But spoiler: Top 5 are also Jesus’.

After decades studying its context, its genius isn’t the script—it’s why Jesus answered, “How should we pray?” this way. We’ve misunderstood. It’s better than we think.

Top !0 Prayers of the New Testament #10

Welcome to Gospel Rant!

Also watch me on YouTube (DrBillSenyard).

Whenever I speak about prayer, there are always a few in the room who are riding a wave—bright, wind-filled, sun-splashed. Prayer feels natural to them. Intimate. Dynamic. Answered. They speak of God’s nearness the way others speak of weather: frequently and with delight.

If that is you, keep going. Don’t adjust a thing. Stay on the board. Feel the spray. I bless you, and yes, I envy you a little.

But this conversation is for the rest of us.

For those whose prayer life feels less like surfing and more like dragging a net through sand.

Is prayer a struggle?

A quiet source of shame? Hit-or-miss?

Do your “quiet times” feel mostly quiet? Have your expectations quietly shrunk over the years?

If so, you are not broken. You are not alone.

Unfortunately, what many of us have been doing does not resemble the freedom of Jesus—it resembles negotiation—a type of modern paganism. It feels less like love and more like leveling up in a game. Pray enough, and perhaps God advances you to the next stage. Miss a few days, and perhaps you slide backward.

But that is NOT how Jesus prayed.

Jesus didn’t pray to get more of the Father’s love and attention. He prayed because He was experiencing the Father’s love and attention. Make sense?

He did not pray to secure affection.

He prayed from affection.

There is a world of difference.

How to Complain To God 2

Welcome to Gospel Rant!

Also check out my YouTube Channel (DrBillSenyard).

Happy Easter Sunday 2026. Most are spending this season on the Cross, Jesus’ powerful bold choice to suffer, and redemption, atonement and resurrection—as it should be.

I am going to fill in one of the nasty dirty cracks of the Cross. How Jesus suffered as a model for how we should deal with our times of suffering that inevitably come to us.

How are we to complain to God when the bottom drops out? When the sky goes dark? When we are broken and can’t get up? When we feel such pain, we can’t breathe? We will see what you think.

And now, it’s your turn…
