We have been studying prayer in one of our adult bible classes. It is very interesting the types of prayers we pray. I have to admit I pretty much shoot arrow prayers to God during my daily life. I feel like if I sat down and named every person that I wanted to pray for I would be there for hours.
I was doing some Bible Marking today about prayer. If you aren’t familiar with Bible Marking check into it at “Come Fill My Cup” blog.
I understood the verse I was reading but wanted to go a little deeper.
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
Exactly what is the difference between prayer, supplication and intercession? Google to the rescue.
- A solemn request for help or expression of thanks addressed to God or an object of worship.
- The action of asking or begging for something earnestly or humbly.
- The action of intervening on behalf of another.
Not sure I ever really picked up on the differences between these three.
A simple lesson for me today, but made me more aware of my prayers.
Hope it helped you.
May God Bless You,
Lillian
