Prayer of Supplication

Luke 11:9-13; James 5:17-18; 1 Kings 8:37-40; 1 Kings 8:54-55

Supplication means to petition or beseech someone for something. A


passionate hunger fuels the prayer of supplication. Prayers of supplication
are prayer which every christian should recite.

Prayer of Intercession

Genesis 18:22-33 (Abraham); 1 Kings 18:41-46 (Elijah); 2 Kings 4:32-36


(Elisha); Acts 12:1-18 (The early church)

To intercede means to plead or mediate on behalf of another person.


Intercessory prayer means praying earnestly for the needs of others, and
seeking God's will for their life. We are called to intercede for others, just
as Jesus is interceding for us (Hebrews 7: 25).

Six characteristics of Effective Intercessory Prayer

Be Sincere

Be Discreet

Be Sensitive

Be Encouraging

Be Organized

Be Committed

Prayer of Faith

Mark 11:12-14; Mark 11:20-25; Luke 7:1-10; James 5:13-18; Matthew


9:18-26; James 1:5-8

The prayer of faith flourishes in our confidence in God's Word. When you
are sure that what you are praying for is God's will for you, the prayer of
faith can be employed.

Prayer of agreement

Genesis 11:1-9; Matthew 18:19-20; Exodus 17:8-13; Psalm 133:1-3; Acts


4:23; Hebrews 10:24-25; Matthew 28:16-20

The prayer of agreement is when two or more people come together and
agree with one another and with the Word of God that something specific
will be done.

Prayer of Praise and Thanksgiving

Psalm 100; Acts 16:16-34; Psalm 149:4-9; 1Thessalonians 5:15-19

Praise and worship brings us into the presence of God. Praising God in both
the good and bad times confirms our faith in Him. Praise and thanksgiving
are powerful weapons.
