There are 3 different types of prayers that every believer should know so that you don’t pray wrongly and think you are praying right.
- Praying Amiss
This kind of prayer is just praying without scripture and just repeating words, complaining, and venting. God is touched by this, but this can’t move him because you are not praying a word-based prayer.
- Praying word-based prayer with the wrong motive
When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures – James 4:3 KJV.
You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. James 4:3 ESV.
You can be praying word-based prayer but with the wrong motive because you want the result for you and God doesn’t answer those kinds of prayers.
- Praying Word-Based Prayer with the Right Motive
You can be praying word-based prayer but with the right motive because you want the result for God’s kingdom and God will answer these kinds of prayers because he knows that it is for his glory and not a man’s glory.
