Instructions

You have 35 minutes to pray at three stations (approximately 10 minutes each).

Three stations on each side of the worship center are mirrored to the other side of the worship center. The elders will be upfront by the stage for prayer if you need prayer from them at any time. If you need to spend more time at a station feel free to do so.

STATION 1:  Praying for One Another

  • Take a note card and write out a personal prayer request.  This is a request for you, not someone else, not our nation, Israel or anything else, but for you.  Take a couple minutes and ask God to show you what to pray for.  Possible beginnings to your prayer request might be…
    • Pray that the Lord would help me with…
    • Pray that the Lord would give me victory over…
    • Pray that the Lord would make me more like Jesus by…
    • Pray that the Lord would provide for me…
    • Pray that the Lord would help me to forgive…
  • When you’re finished, place your card back on the table.  Your name is optional but encouraged, and your email is even better.  Use the remaining time to take someone else’s card and pray for them for a couple of minutes.  If time permits you may repeat this process. 
  • When you leave this station, take someone else’s card with you and pray for that person for the next 40 days.  If they included contact information feel free to send them a note to let them know that you’ve been praying for them and even ask for updates.


STATION 2:  Community Prayer

  • The poor and unprivileged
  • Those who don’t know the Lord
  • The schools in our communities


STATION 3:  Praying for our Nation and the World

  • We will be praying for our nation and the world. 
  • Enter the station and read the prayer prompts on the tables. 
  • Take a moment to pray through each of those prompts. 
  • Each table has a different element to pray for, so make sure to visit all three.
