Read: Ephesians 6:18-20 

Meditation verse: 

“Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

PRAYER OF CONSECRATION: This is the prayer of submitting and dedicating  yourself to the will of God. Praying this type of prayer always, even in the face  of dire situations, will help you remain at the centre of God’s will. Jesus prayed  this prayer in the garden of Gethsemane; “O My Father, if it is possible, let this  cup pass from Me, nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will”. (Mathew 26:39) 

PRAYER OF WORSHIP: This type of prayer is said solely to minister to the Lord,  without making any request. Acts 2:46-47 says the disciples continued daily with  one accord in the temple breaking bread from house to house and praising God.  And the Lord increased them. God inhabits the praises of His people; prayers of  worship will enable you develop a deep and intimate fellowship with the  Almighty.  

PRAYER OF COMMITTING OR CASTING YOUR CARE ON THE LORD: 1 Peter 5:7  says, “casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. “Casting” means to  throw upon or to deposit with. Casting your care therefore requires humility and  entails that you completely trust the person. You are to cast your care upon the  Lord and once done, leave it there. Worrying amounts to going back to collect  your care back. You cannot trust God and worry at the same time. 

PRAYING IN TONGUES: This type of prayer helps to build your spirit man. It is  your spirit speaking mysteries concerning your life and because the secret things  belong to God, this type of prayer is a direct communication to God, enabling  you to pray his perfect will. 1 Corinthians 2 says, he who speaks in a tongue does  not speak to men but to God. Praying in tongues edifies and charges you up.  Jude 20 says, “beloved building yourself up on your most holy faith, praying in  the Holy Spirit”. It is an effective way of praying when you feel weak and weary or when you do not know what to pray for.  

So, what type of prayer should you pray? Pray all types of prayers.
