Types of Prayer

Prayer of Salvation

A conversation with God where we confess our sin and profess faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, please allow us the opportunity to introduce God's plan of salvation to you. It's as easy as ABC:

A. Acknowledge -  that you are a sinner and ask The Lord Jesus to forgive you for all of your sins.
B. Believe -  that God sent His only begotten Son, born of a virgin, and that His Son died for the sins of the   world and even after being dead the Father raised him from the dead.
C. Confess - Jesus Christ, God's Son, as your Lord and Savior.

If you do this according to the Word of God you are saved!

When we pray we need to give thanks to God for all things in our life. Being thankful is being grateful for God's protection, His provision, His blessings, and most of all for His Son.

Petition
The prayer of petition is when we ask God for the things we need, or think we need, in our life.  Petitions are usually self oriented ... give us our daily bread, give us the things we need to survive:  a roof over our heads, employment etc.  When we pray a prayer of petition we are presenting our personal needs to our Heavenly Father, trusting Him to provide.
