Prayer Request
Let us pray with and for you. Below is a form where you can communicate with us your request for prayer. Before you reach out to us for prayer, here is a short outline to guide your mind and heart in a biblical approach to prayer.
Jesus provides five areas of focus for his disciples to pray in Luke 11:1-4:
That God’s name be honored – the focus on his everlasting glory (“Father, hallowed be your name”)
That God’s kingdom come – the focus on his eternal will (“your kingdom come”)
That God’s provision is given – the focus on our present (“Give us each day our daily bread.”)
That God’s forgiveness is granted – the focus on our past (Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.)
That God’s deliverance will be provided – the focus on our future.
The Bible lists at least nine main types of prayer:
prayer of faith (James 5:15),
prayer of agreement (also known as corporate prayer) (Acts 2:42),
prayer of request (also known as petition or supplication) (Philippians 4:6),
prayer of thanksgiving (Psalm 95:2-3),
prayer of worship (Acts 13:2-3),
prayer of consecration (also known as dedication) (Matthew 26:39),
prayer of intercession (1 Timothy 2:1),
prayer of imprecation (Psalms 69),
praying in the Spirit (1 Corinthians 14:14-15).[Summary from Joe Carter at TGC.]
Q- What is prayer?
A- The Westminster Larger Catechism notes, “Prayer is an offering up of our desires unto God, in the name of Christ, by the help of his Spirit; with confession of our sins, and thankful acknowledgment of his mercies.”
May these truths guide your mind, heart, will and affections in Christ-centered prayer.
