Forms of PRAYER

Prayer is the foundation of our relationship with God. Whether you’re making requests, praising Him, interceding for others, or giving thanks—each prayer carries power, and authority.

What is Prayer ?

Prayer is a conversation with the FATHER, our heavenly father, who desires to have a personal relationship with his children. A simple conversation, no fancy words, just simple words, with a transparent heart, and a humble spirit.

Prayer can be prayed in different ways

1. Request | Asking by Faith

When we make requests, we bring our needs, desires, and concerns before God. Whether it’s provision, guidance, or strength, we ask with faith, trusting that He hears us.

📖 “And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” – Matthew 21:22

What are you asking God for today?

2. Worship | Honoring Who God is

Worship is more than a song—it’s an expression of love, reverence, and surrender to God. We worship Him for who He is, not just for what He does.

📖 “God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” – John 4:24

How can you deepen your worship today?

3. Praise | Exalting GOD

Through praise, we lift our voices, celebrating God’s goodness with singing, thanksgiving, and joyful adoration. Praise shifts our focus from problems to God’s power.

📖 “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!” – Psalm 150:6

What are you praising God for today?

4. Petition | Bringing Needs Before the King

When we petition, we lay our burdens before God, not only for ourselves but also for others. Interceding in petition reflects a heart that trusts in God’s sovereignty.

📖 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” – Philippians 4:6

Who are you lifting up in prayer today?

5. Intercession | Standing in the Gap

Intercession is praying on behalf of others, whether for healing, salvation, or breakthrough. It mirrors Christ’s own heart—always interceding for us before the Father.

📖 “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” – James 5:16

Who needs your intercession today?

6. Giving Thanks | Gratitude in Every Season

Thanksgiving is an act of faith, acknowledging God’s blessings even before we see them. A grateful heart shifts our perspective and strengthens our trust in Him.

📖 “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:18

What or who are you grateful for today?

Let your prayer life be intentional, faith-filled, and rooted in the truth that God hears you.

My Prayer Template

Lead me Lord, and I will follow, lead me Lord and I will go. You have called me, I have answered, lead me lord, I am here!

You never leave us, nor forsake us. You hold us with your righteous hand. You provide for our daily needs. We lack nothing. No good thing is withheld from us. We are the apple of your eye, hidden under the shadow of your wings. Resting safely in your embrace. We are strengthened, encouraged, empowered this morning to do great and mighty works. My soul knows this very well.

Forgive me my trespasses Lord. Lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from all evil. Overlook any offenses that I have caused, and any offenses done to me. I cover myself, my family. Everything that belongs to me, is under my authority! Power and dominion is in my hand, the blood of Jesus covers me, from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. Create in me a clean heart, renew a right spirit in me. Examine my heart Lord, see if there’s any wicked thing in me, remove it far from me. Finish your good work in me, complete what you started in me. Establish your good works, and plans for my life. Cleanse me of all unrighteousness. Remove impure thoughts from me, align me with your holy spirit.

All my thoughts belong to you my mind stays on you. Every agenda, plot, scheme that the enemy will have against me today, I nullify it’s works now. No evil shall befall me, no disaster come near me. Command your angels to guard me in all of my ways.

No weapon formed against me shall prosper in any kind of way. Every thought, that rises against me in judgment is silenced, and condemned in Jesus Name. Power and authority belongs to me. I am the righteousness of God.

All that I have, all that I am belongs to you. You are in charge of everything I am, and everything I do. I glorify your work Lord. You are making all things beautiful in your timing. Your thoughts are good for me, plans to prosper me, give me a hope and the future, give me an expected end.

Let your light shine on my ways! Establish your good works in my life, amen!
