THE 5 BASIC FORMS OF CHRISTIAN PRAYER

BLESSING:
you acknowledge a person as good. God's gifts and our acceptance come together.

PETITION

• We show the relationship we have with God.
• First, we ask his forgivness, then what our needs are.

INTERCESSION

• We ask something for someone other than us during prayer.

THANKSGIVING

• Eucharist means "thanksgiving".
• We show our thanksgiving through the eucharist.

PRAISE

• We give God the glory through prayer.
• We give praise because he is, not just to thank God.
