Description:

THE word “Prayer” expresses the largest and most comprehensive way to approach God. It gives importance to the ingredient of devotion. It is a relationship and interaction with God. It is enjoyment of God. It is access to God. “Supplication” is a more controlled and more intense form of prayer, accompanied by a sense of personal need, limited to the seeking in an urgent manner the supply for a pressing need. “Supplication” is the very soul of prayer in the way of pleading for some one thing, very much needed, and the need intensely felt. “Intercession” is amplification in prayer; it is going out in broadness and fullness from ones self for others. Primarily, it does not center in praying for others, but refers to the freeness, boldness and childlike confidence in praying. It is the completeness of trusting influence in the soul’s approach to God, unlimited and unhesitating in its access and its demands. This influence and confident trust is to be used in prayer for others.
