CHOOSE: PRAYER

Prayer is always a perfect choice! Even when we feel as if we can't pray---"We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans." (Romans 8:26)

Anytime Prayers. (Psalm 55:17)
Arrow Prayers. Those quick ones shot straight to the Lord. (Psalm 4:1, HELP!)
Breath prayers. (Exhale....Jesus)
Evening prayers. ( of confession, Ezra 9:5)
Familiar prayers. (Matthew 6:9-13, Lord's Prayer)
Singing prayers. (Many Psalms are songs.)
Intercessory prayer. (Isaiah 62: 6-7, my Saturday prayer since 11/1995)
Long prayers. Short Prayers.
Mindful prayers. (1 Corinthians 14:15)
Morning prayers. (Psalm 5:3)
Prayer from Psalms (Psalm 17, a prayer of David)
Prayers from Scripture. (Ephesians 1:15-17 & Colossians 1:9-14)
Prayers of Petition. (James 1:5)
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Choosing to "pray from the heart" is always a good idea. Writing down those prayers isn't a bad idea either.


I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.(1 Timothy 2:1-2)

Choose prayer with me or for me----I would certainly appreciate them.
