Welcome to Verity Podcast. I'm your host, Felicia Mason-Himer, and I am here to

teach you how to know what you believe, to live it boldly, and to communicate it

graciously to the world around you. I believe that women are ready to go deeper

in their faith than ever before, and they don't have to go to seminary to do it.

I am so glad you're here, and I hope you'll join me on this journey because

everyone in is a theologian. Hi friends and welcome back to Verity Podcast. I am

so thrilled to be with you for our last episode in this short mini-series on

prayer. We started with the episode on God's sovereignty and why we pray in light

of his sovereignty. But then we go on to discuss the different types of prayer

using the Acts acronym, so ACTS, Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and

Supplication, and today we're talking about supplication or requests. So this is

the aspect of prayer that we're actually the most familiar with. It's usually

what we default to, and so I really hope you've listened through the first three

or four episodes of this series, so you can hear about those other types of

prayer because they're just as vital as our supplications or requests. I wanted

to look at what scripture said about supplication and offering up our

requests just to give us some context for what the Bible says about it, and then

we will talk about a certain passage that I think maybe is challenging or

difficult for a lot of us when it comes to answered prayers. So we usually know

this verse when it comes to our requests, but I'm going to read it anyway,

Philippians 4.6 says, do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by

prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
