Forms of Prayer

Defining Prayer  Prayer is an expression of faith that allows us to communicate with God.

Q: What are some types of prayer that you know of?

Prayer Categories  Most prayers fall into one of the following two categories: 1) Formal prayers : based on traditions and teachings (eg. Our Father). 2) Informal prayers : based on experiences and moments in our life (eg. praying before a soccer game).

Prayer of Petition  In these prayers, we ask God for things we need (eg. spirituality).

Prayer of Thanksgiving  These prayers express gratitude for what we have.  Eg. the gifts of life and love.

Prayer of Intercession  These are prayers that we offer on behalf of other people (eg. friends, family, coworkers)

Prayer of Blessing  This form of prayer involves admitting that all of creation comes from God and that we should follow God’s will throughout our life.  It can also involve praying to a saint, to help us become more virtuous.

Prayer of Praise  In this form of prayer, we recognize the nature of God.  We praise God for how all-knowing, all seeing, and all powerful He is.  We also recognize that our life depends on God.

Kneeling to Pray  This tradition was a symbol of humbleness and honor when coming before a king or ruler.  In recognition and honor to God, it may have been the appropriate position to come before Him.
