Prayer Can Be

Petition

Talking to God

A balm to the soul

A positive command

How we talk to God

Conversing with God

Drawing near to God

Seeking God’s favor

A guardian of health

A healer of diseases

Crying out to heaven

Direct address to God

A security to the rich

A surge from the heart

A conversation with God

A solemn address to God

An earnest hope or wish

Kneeling before the Father

A mine of jewels to the poor

The way to fellowship with God

A staff to the limbs that totter

Pouring out our soul to the Lord

Grateful thought raised to heaven

The means of interacting with God

A haven to the shipwrecked mariner

Not meditation or passive reflection

The key that opens the gate of heaven

An integral part of the Christian life

Our strength, our very breath and being

The spiritual pulse of the renewed soul

Expressing the essential elements of faith

How we grow a deeper relationship with Christ

Not a withdrawal from the events of daily life

Something we are encouraged to do, continually

The opening of the heart to God as to a friend

Not a magical formula for getting what we want

A method of changing a situation for the better

An anchor to them that are sinking in the waves

Keeping company with God who is already present

How we make our praise and requests known to God

A pilgrimage of the spirit in the presence of God

How we know the direction God wants our life to go in

The way to communicate our emotions and desires with God

An address (such as a petition) to God in word or thought

An act of supplication or intercession directed towards God

Telling God what we need and thanking Him for all He has done

God's appointed method by which we obtain what He has to bestow

To speak to God and ask for healing, forgiveness, and direction

A shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan

A solemn request for help or expression of thanks addressed to God

Not overcoming God’s reluctance, but laying hold of His willingness

The communication of the human soul with the Lord who created the soul

An opportunity to reflect on events and gain strength to face challenges

Securing the continuance of our blessings, and dissipating the cloud of our calamities

An invocation or act that seeks to activate a rapport with God through deliberate communication

Not necessary in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him

Putting ourselves in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts

A vehicle through which Jesus is able to nurture and sustain the relationship with God which is the source of our wellbeing and inner peace
