Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks be made for all men, 1 Timothy 2:1(NKJV)
There are different kinds of praying.
Supplication or petition means making a definite request like I need food, a job, money, where to stay, or a healing in my body.
Prayer is the general an all-encompassing activity of communicating and fellowshipping with God which includes praise, dedication, requisition, adoration, and worship.
Intercession is standing in for another person making mention of them before God for His intervention in their life and affairs.
Thanksgiving is the highest form of prayer where we agree with God based on His Word that He’s already done something about what we are praying about and so we simply by Faith give Him thanks for it as we await the physical manifestation.We are exhorted to engage in all these kinds of praying for all people.
