Prayer of Petition

Prayer of Petition

Today we will be discussing the second type of prayer which is the prayer of petition.

The prayer of petition must be a prayer of faith.  The prayer of petition is for an individual and their desires, needs and problems. It is you praying for yourself not someone else praying for you or agreeing with you in prayer.

The following scripture gives us examples of the prayer of petition.

Daniel 9:3

So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.

Philippians 4:6

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

1 Timothy 2:1
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people.


Luke 18:1
Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.

When you pray the prayer of petition, believe that you receive.  If you will do that, you will have
what you ask.  God is concerned about your needs and He wants to meet them for us.  We need to claim God's promise for our petition and believe that we will receive it.

If you have any needs whether it is physical, financial, and spiritual pray and the Lord will hear your prayer.  He already knows your needs, wants and desires.  The Lord wants to hear from you.  He waits to hear your prayers.

Psalms 145:18

The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

Proverbs 15:29

The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

 Matthew 7:11

 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him

 Matthew 21:22

And all things, whatsoever shall ask in prayer, believing, shall receive.

Mark 11:24

Therefore I say unto you, what things so ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Seek the Lord and know that He longs to hear from you.  He loves you and wants to meet all of your needs.  Just take a leap of faith and talk to him and watch what He does in your life.

 May the Lord keep you and bless you
