PRAYER

Prayer - a conversation with God, who loved us into being

Picture
Prayer is something that we learn from those around us, so it is important to model prayer in your everyday!

Often we see prayer used formally but prayer is a conversation you can have anywhere, anytime.

You can also pray in different ways, through art, through imagination, through music and through movement or dance. Your actions can also be prayer: in caring for the environment by gardening or by caring for those around us.

Different Types of Prayer:

  • Adoration – a prayer that acknowledges God our creator and all of God's amazingness!!
  • Petition – is a prayer where we ask God for something.  It can be for forgiveness, or spiritual or material needs. 
  • Intercession – is when we pray to God for others.
  • Thanksgiving – a prayer of thanks, and a prayer that helps us appreciate all the gifts we have been given.
  • Praise – when we tell God just how awesome God is!!
