25 Types of Prayers to Try

How Many Kinds of Prayer are There?

We might need reminding that there are many kinds of prayers, and we might want to choose one form when it is specific to our circumstance. This might help us to focus our minds, hearts, and our faith to a single purpose when we pray. Here are 25 kinds of prayer you might want to try.

1. The prayer of gratitude. The perfect time to acknowledge God’s greatness and loving kindness. It’s always a wonderful experience to just give thanks and not ask for anything.

2. The prayer for forgiveness. For this, preparation is needed. We must first acknowledge our distance from God and wish to be reconciled with Him. This is a first step in the repentance process and begins with the realization that our thoughts and actions have offended God.
