Four Expressions of Prayer

Most prayer lives lean toward one kind of request, and the other kinds quietly disappear. Based on 1 Timothy 2:1-7, this guide explores four expressions of prayer: supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgiving. Each part explains its expression in practical terms, offers an example prayer written for the guide, and gives a short practice with questions for reflection. The guide also includes a four-moment outline for a small group, a four-day practice plan and notes on praying for authorities without partisan campaigning.
