Thought for the Day II

"I want you to notice with me six kinds of prayer that take place in this perfect prayer (The Lord's Prayer).



Intimate prayer - Our Father, who art in heaven


Praising prayer - Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.


Thanksgiving prayer - Give us this day our daily bread.


Confessing prayer - And forgive us our debts,


Intercessory prayer - as we forgive our debtors.


Petitioning prayer - And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.


And again praising prayer - "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."
