Good evening Gems!!!
I know it's late and not the usual 5am post or email, but Sunday was such a phenomenal day for me. We successfully had our Proverbs 31 Woman Part 3 service and I was more involved this time doing photos, dancing, administrative duties, finances and enjoying the service myself. It was so amazing so I apologize for this late post and email.
Today we are going to discuss three types of prayers. In total I have about nine types to share with you all. This is going to be a basic post and not something in depth so you can definitely look into them on your own time. I want these next three days to be a sort of "intro" to these types of prayers.
1. Thanksgiving: "in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." - 1 Thessalonians 5:18
These are prayers that are seen all throughout the Bible. From David to the disciples. Every person prayed thanking God for who He is, what He's done and the life He has given them. These prayers are the ones in which you give thanks to Him for any and everything. These prayers remind us to be thankful and grateful.
2. Supplication: "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." - Philippians 4:6
These are prayers in which you make your requests known to God. This is when you petition and ask Him for things -- according to His will. These are usually personal requests.
3. Confession: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." - 1 John 1:9
These are prayers that we pray to confess our sins to God. It's fairly simple.
Hopefully these are prayers we all do!
Journaling Prompt
Please be as true to yourself as possible when answering the prompt to get the most out of this challenge.
Today's scripture comes from 1 Timothy 2:1:
Spend 3-7 minutes journaling your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Use the prompt.
Verbal Prayer
Take 3 minutes and verbally speak your written prayer. Pray out loud so that He can hear your voice. If your prayer is short, try to add to it.
Listen
Sit quietly in a position that will not make you tired and wait on God. You may feel His presence, you may hear from Him. If you do, write down what He says or what you're feeling. Give yourself at least 2 minutes of pure silence to be able to hear from and feel God. This is a conversation, not a rant. Allow Him the opportunity to speak to you after you've spoken to Him.
Let's end in prayer...

Heavenly Father, we come to You this evening just to say thank you. We thank You for breathing life into us. We thank You for giving us our very bodies and creating us in Your likeness. We thank You for true peace, love and comfort. We thank You for sustaining us. We come humbly before You to confess our sins, known and unknown. We confess our hiccups in which we may have had an attitude, talked back or even thought wrong of ourselves and of others. We ask that You continue to reveal Yourself to us as we continue to learn and grow in You. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
