Prayer is one of the most effective and intimate means of relating to the Creator in particular if one needs assistance in one way or the other. It is not only a rite, it is a dialogue with the Creator, our voice that tells Him we need help and, you know, what we want and are thankful for. Asking for prayer support presupposes a request for divine help in situations that one confronts with difficulties, challenges or decisions. Whether academic, ministerial, or personal prayer ushers in divine involvement; developments comfort, strength when needed, or direction.

Prayer for support can be regarded as one of the major subtypes of prayer that deal with the direct request for help from God regarding particular difficulties or goals. And it is a submission of human weakness and an appeal to the divine power to intervene. Whenever we pray to be given support we are asking Him to help us to be our strength provider, lead us where we might have a regular challenge, and shield us where we are bound to have a difficulty. This could be in our as individuals, our careers, education or spiritual path. In these prayers one calls for God to intervene, and allow everything to take his course, resulting in the granting of success to efforts exerted.
