The Job at Hand

Four types of prayers listed ( I think this makes a great pattern for prayer)

Supplications - Requests and needs Prayers - I like to do the Lord's prayer but others are wonderful too - Take the Psalms that are prayers and include them in your praying or use them as a pattern Intercessions - Praying for others (Abraham over Sodom and Gomorrah) Giving of Thanks - Thanking the Lord for what he has done.

Three Types of People to pray for

All men - Every person you come in contact with can and should be added to your prayer list especially if they do not know Christ. Kings - World leaders - this would include our President and President Elect. Would you commit with me to pray more for our president. All that are in authority - Anyone who is in some type of authority over you needs your prayers. Your boss, your governor, your mayor, your town council, your teachers, your pastor, your board members, any leader over you needs your prayers. Are you praying for them?

Two Reasons we should pray this way

Lead a quiet and peaceable life

In all godliness and honesty

I think that praying for someone will increase your love and care for them I think it will also help you to respect them whether you agree with them or not. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God who is our savior
