The Prayer Wheel
Welcome to the Prayer Wheel: A 7 Day, 24 Hour Posture of Prayer
The Bible has much to say about Prayer. It is man’s calling card and God’s delight. The Bible has many verses about prayer, including how to pray, when to pray, and the types of prayer:
How To Pray
Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:5-15 that prayer is a conversation with God, and that one should pray in secret, without empty phrases, and with boldness.
When To Pray
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says to pray without ceasing, rejoice always, and give thanks in all circumstances. Philippians 4:6 says to pray in every situation.
Types Of Prayer
The four basic types of prayer are:
1. Prayer of Blessing and Adoration: Praising God
2. Prayer of Petition: Asking for what one needs, including forgiveness
3. Prayer of Intercession: Asking for what others need
4. Prayer of Thanksgiving: Giving thanks for what God has done and gives
The Power Of Prayer
Romans 8:26-27 says that the Spirit helps people pray when they can’t find the words.
We have established prayer days in 7 day intervals. Your prayer day will be based upon the 1st initial of your last name. Homes with more than one last name may choose the last name of either parent for their day of prayer. Remember you are in the posture of prayer for your prayer day, which means that you will pray at least 15 minutes at some point during the day and short prayers throughout the day.
You can pray with others or by yourself, but whatever you do pray! You can pray your own words, You can pray scripture or a mixture of both. Just Pray! Trust and believe, God will lead you in your prayer.
Prayer days with the prayer focuses are listed below. The first letter of your last name correlates with the day you will be assigned to pray for the church. For these focuses, you are able to pray at any time under the unction of the Holy Spirit.
