Prayers of Petition
One of the most common forms of prayer is a Prayer of Petition. In prayers of petition we express our awareness of our relationship with God. Along with expressing our awareness of our relationship with God, prayers of petition are when we ask God for things we need, such as spiritual needs. When we are saying these petitions it is our way of trying to turn back to God. The first part of a prayer of petitions usually requesting forgiveness. And this request is a prerequisite for a righteous and pure prayer. These prayers should also include a statement of willingness to accept God's will, whether our prayers are answered or not. A good example of this is the line "Thy will be done" which comes from "The Our Father," which is a very good example of a prayer of petition.
