Prayer is essential to a faithful life, and we are instructed by the
Bible to pray constantly: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all
circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise the words of prophets, but
test everything; hold fast to what is good; abstain from every form of evil.” [1 Thessalonians 5:16-22] Our prayers should have at least six aspects over time:
- Prayer of worship – “rejoice always, pray without ceasing”
- Prayer of thanksgiving – “give thanks in all circumstances”
- Prayer of confession – “abstain from every form of evil”
- Prayer of petition – “do not despise the words of prophets, but test everything”
- Prayer of connection – “hold fast to what is good”
- Prayer of acceptance – “do not quench the Spirit”
