"16 Types of Prayer - #1 Supplications”

Let me start off by saying there are definitely many other types/forms of prayer. Together, we will be digging deeper on these specific 18 types over the next few weeks.

The 1st type of prayer we will be looking at is Supplications. Let’s take a look at Psalms 28:6 in the Amplified Bible. It reads as follows: Blessed be the Lord, because He has heard the voice of my supplications. Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible defines supplications as: Earnest prayer, entreaty, supplication. Dictionary.com defines supplication as: an act or instance of supplicating; humble prayer, entreaty, or petition.

From this it may seem it is a prayer utilized when humbling ones self before God. Entreating him on behalf of a variety of areas like your family, friends, co-workers, city etc. When one chooses to step out of self while humbling themselves to present supplications to God your prayer takes on a voice……a voice that God hears. Now that's something to get excited about!

There is so much more to say on the prayer of supplications. I am reminded of something I heard someone say....."You can trust God with all your troubles in prayer. He has a big voice and he knows a whole lot of people".

The word "supplications" is used within the Bible 18 times in the old testament & 3 times in the new testament. Here is a list for further study if you so choose:

"Surprise Me God 30-Day Experiment Created by Terry Esau – Day 3”

It seems the Lord is insistent on Surprising me in very mysterious ways. My family and I went to see the newly released movie The Great Debaters. It was produced by Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions and Directed by Denzel Washington. I would have given it four stars if they had left out one scene with strong sexual content. Anyway’s while watching this movie I was given an even deeper appreciation for the contributions African Americans have made to society as a whole. It surprised and encouraged me to press forward in leaving my own legacy for history to recount.

Lift your hands and say these words with me: My heart longs to know you in a more intimate way Lord. I thank you that you have provided the prayer of supplications that I may communicate effectively with you daily. I close my ear gate to every dark influence in Jesus name. I open up, activate and empower my ear gate to a clear, crisp transmission to the heart and throne of the Living God. Amen”
