I spend a great amount of time in prayer, I have found that one of the ways that God starts to show me how to pray for someone or something is by bringing into my heart a scripture.
It is really quite easy to look up a scripture and read it in context and then put it into prayer.
I will give you an example of how to put Scripture into prayer one of my long time favorites to generally pray over anyone is found in Colossians 1 Sometime I simply pray the scripture as mostly shown here or sometimes I will sense the spirit moving me towards a different direction. I only put the first part of Colossians 1 below but the whole chapter works well. This one I used the amplified Bible but often different ones will seem better.
Father in Heaven I lift _________ to you today as one of
your people set aside for the purposes of God I pray they would be a faithful child in Christ and they would have Grace that of spiritual favour and
blessing, and They would find favour and peace in their heart from
God our Father.
Jesus I continually give thanks to the Father for_______and lift them
to you in prayer.
As they have given their life to Christ through faith I ask that they
would lean their entire being in absolute trust and confidence in Your power,
wisdom and goodness. Allow that Faith and power be shown for all the saints and
for their family.
God let them experience all of what is laid up reserved and waiting
for them from Heaven. May they be strong in hope by being in your word and understanding
the Truth of the Gospel.
I ask Father that they would bear fruit and continue to grow by their effective
and fervent prayer and would prevail with tremendous power. (James 5:16)
God I make a request of you for them that they may be filled with the
deep and clear understanding of Your will for them in all Spiritual
wisdom. Give them Clear and deep
knowledge of Your will in all their ways. Give them the insight and discernment
of Spiritual things. In Jesus name I pray Amen!
Try a scripture for yourself sometimes it is easiest to start with the psalms and proverbs so try to pick out a scripture and turning it in to a prayer. To start try Psalms 1 I have used the New King James here but check out other translations while I use many on line Bible programs I find the best for prayer is http://www.biblegateway.com

1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Come back next time and see how I prayed this prayer for you.
Love Kim
