Can you learn to pray from the Bible?
The Bible is like a wellspring of prayer. To pray with the Word of God means to use the words and events of the Bible for one's own prayer. "To be ignorant of Scripture is to be ignorant of Christ" (St. Jerome).
Sacred Scripture, especially the Psalms and the New Testament, are a valuable treasury; in it we find the most beautiful and most powerful prayers of the Judeo-Christian world. Reciting these prayers unites us with millions of people from all times and cultures who have prayed, but above all with Christ himself, who is present in all these prayers. (YOUCAT question 491)
