P.R.A.Y.

What is the difference between prayer and pray?   Pray is the verb ("I pray when I go to church.")  and prayer is the noun ("We said a prayer for the safety of the troops.")

When you PRAY you should:
P = Pour out your heart.
R = Realize God will answer.
A = always believe.
Y = Yeild to what God tells you.

Some people expand the word pray as an acronym for: praise, repent, ask, yield.

Praise - Mathew 6:9 - Pray then in this way... "Our Father, Who Art In Heaven"...

Yield - Mathew 6:10 - "Your kingdom come, your will be done. On earth as it is in heaven"

Repent - Mathew 6:12 - "And forgive us our debts as we have forgiving our debtors".

Ask - Mathew 6:11 & Mathew 6:13 - "Give us this day our daily bread." .. and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Note: Interesting read about  The “R” in Pray 

P = Persistent

R = Report
A = About
Y = Your
E = Every
R = Request

What are the 4 types of prayer?

This definition encompasses the four main kinds of prayer: adoration, contrition, thanksgiving and supplication. Christ Himself provides us examples of all these forms of prayer — except contrition, since He never sinned.
