- Today's question is, what are the different types of prayer? In this video I'll answer that question from a biblical perspective.
- 00:06
- Afterwards, as always, I'll share some helpful resources, so stick around until the end. The Bible reveals many types of prayers and employs a variety of words to describe the practice.
- 00:23
- For example, 1 Timothy 2 verse 1 says, 1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people.
- 00:33
- Here, all four of the main Greek words used for prayer are mentioned in one verse. With that in mind, here are the main types of prayer in the
- 00:40
- Bible. The Prayer of Faith James 5 verse 15 says, And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the
- 00:48
- Lord will raise him up. In this context, prayer is offered in faith for someone who is sick, asking
- 00:54
- God to heal. When we pray, we are to believe in the power and goodness of God, Mark 9 verse 23.
- 01:01
- The Prayer of Agreement, also known as Corporate Prayer After Jesus' ascension, the disciples all joined together consistently in prayer,
- 01:09
- Acts 1 verse 14. Later, after Pentecost, the early church devoted themselves to prayer, Acts 2 verse 42.
- 01:16
- Their example encourages us to pray with others. The Prayer of Request, or Supplication We are to take our requests to God, Philippians chapter 4 verse 6 teaches,
- 01:26
- Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your requests be known to God.
- 01:33
- Part of winning the spiritual battle is to be praying at all times in the Spirit with all prayer and supplication,
- 01:39
- Ephesians chapter 6 verse 18. The Prayer of Thanksgiving We see another type of prayer in Philippians chapter 4 verse 6, thanksgiving or thanks to God.
- 01:49
- With thanksgiving let your requests be known to God. Many examples of thanksgiving prayer can be found in the
- 01:54
- Psalms. The Prayer of Worship The prayer of worship is similar to the prayer of thanksgiving.
- 02:00
- The difference is that worship focuses on who God is, thanksgiving focuses on what God has done.
- 02:06
- Church leaders in Antioch prayed in this manner with fasting. While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the
- 02:12
- Holy Spirit said, Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.
- 02:17
- Then after fasting and praying, they laid their hands on them and sent them off, Acts chapter 13 verses 2 -3.
- 02:23
- The Prayer of Consecration Sometimes prayer is a time of setting ourselves apart to follow
- 02:28
- God's will. Jesus made such a prayer the night before His crucifixion. And going a little further,
- 02:34
- He fell on His face and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me.
- 02:39
- Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will, Matthew chapter 26 verse 39. The Prayer of Intercession Many times our prayers include requests for others as we intercede for them.
- 02:51
- We are told to make intercession for everyone in 1 Timothy chapter 2 verse 1. Jesus serves as our example in this area.
- 02:58
- The whole of John chapter 17 is a prayer of Jesus on behalf of His disciples and all believers.
- 03:04
- The Prayer of Imprecation Imprecatory prayers are found in the Psalms, for example, Psalm 7, Psalm 55, and Psalm 69.
- 03:11
- They are used to invoke God's judgment on the wicked and thereby avenge the righteous. The psalmists use this type of appeal to emphasize the holiness of God and the surety of His judgment.
- 03:21
- Jesus teaches us to pray for blessing on our enemies, not cursing—Matthew 5 verses 44 -48.
- 03:28
- The Bible also speaks of praying in the Spirit—1 Corinthians chapter 14 verses 14 -15—and prayers when we are unable to think of adequate words—Romans chapter 8 verses 26 -27.
- 03:39
- In those times, the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us. Prayer is a conversation with God and should be made without ceasing.
- 03:46
- As we grow in our love for Jesus Christ, we will naturally desire to talk to Him. Want to learn more?
