Each believer has a unique prayer voice, usually favoring one of the four faces of prayer:
-
-
-
- Protection (lion)
- Daily needs (ox)
- Relationships (man)
- Future (eagle)
-
-
It can all be folded into one well-rounded prayer style. Jesus set the example:
Matthew 6:9-13 (ESV)
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come [eagle],
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread [ox],
and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors [man].
And lead us not into temptation [lion],
but deliver us from evil.
