Pray the Way! The Power of Prayer in Mission With Heather Grantham & Chris McReynolds

Praise and Thanksgiving Offering our prayers of praise and thanksgiving is a natural response of the created to the Creator. Not to curry favor or to stroke the ego that God doesn’t have, rather, it is natural and spontaneous, overflowing - like saying “Thank you.” This comes out of gratitude and a grateful spirit is the soil in which faith, hope, and love grow and flourish. Scriptural Examples: Psalm 100, Acts 16:16-34, Psalm 149:4-9, 1Thessalonians 5:15-19

Supplication This type of prayer is what the average person, Christian or otherwise, thinks of when the topic is prayer. It’s asking God for something. Guidance, healing, safety, blessing—we ask for all kinds of things, great and small. This type of prayer is not necessarily about getting an answer, but lifting up our voices and being heard. Prayer is a process of purging our thoughts and inviting God to fill us up. Scriptural Examples: Luke 11: 9 – 13 James 5: Kings 8: 37-40,

Meditative & Contemplative This prayer has several styles: Quaker silence, waiting upon the Lord, prayer walks, meditating on scripture, centering prayer and a plethora of others. When we meditate, we are resting in the glorious presence of God, completely enveloped in love. Contemplative prayer is about our setting apart regular time specifically and exclusively to gain intimacy with the Divine. Scriptural Examples: Psalm 46:10; Psalm 63:6; Psalm 119:15, 23, 27, 48, 97; Romans 12:2

Intercession When we take it upon ourselves to pray earnestly for other people, we enter into the realm of intercession. This is love on its knees in prayer, for others. Pleading on behalf of the needs of someone else. When we are intercession, we identify ourselves with those for which we are in prayer. Scriptural Examples: Genesis 18: Kings 18: Kings 4: Neh. 1: Acts 12:
