The Prayer of Petition
Teaching Pamphlet - October 2024
Teaching pamphlet written by Annette Capps
I receive letters and e-mails fairly often from people who are confused about “praying more than once about the same thing.” Sometimes they think that if they confess the Word more than once, the second time is in doubt or unbelief.
Prayer and confession of the Word are two different things. Prayer is simply talking to God and talking to God can be for many different purposes. You can talk to God simply to fellowship with Him and not ask anything. You can praise Him for the blessings in your life and all He has done. You can worship Him because of Who He is – holy and worthy of our reverence.
Then, there is confession of the Word – speaking the Word out loud. The number one purpose of this is to plant His Word in your heart so that it will produce the fruit of faith within you. This may or may not be a form of prayer, but its primary purpose is to get the Word in you. God knows what He said and it pleases Him to hear you repeat His Word and promises. A combination prayer-confession could be, “Father, I thank you that Your Word is true. I have given and it is given unto me. You supply all my needs according to Your riches in glory!” That is a prayer of thanksgiving and confessing His Word is true – a powerful combination. Confession can simply be repeating the Scriptures as they apply to you personally and not directed to God specifically.
