Prayer Meeting
Monday at 7:00 PM

Purpose:

Our Prayer meeting's main purpose is to communicate with God. It's not merely a ritual to get done or for preaching at each other. It is time to unite in real and fervent prayer.

Prayer deserves to be maximized and is worth a meeting exclusively for prevailing in prayer.
It is designed to get the pray-ers focused on the task at hand and to give the Holy Spirit an opportunity to prepare us for the Holy life.
We need to hear what the Bible has to say concerning prayer, especially when we start to pray. It is at that time that we need to prepare our hearts and get our spirits in a praying mode.

Adoration: Worshipping and praising God with your heart, mind and voice.

1. Praise and pray through a Psalm, sing, adore God, praising Him for His attributes such as: loving kindness, holiness, compassion, majesty, etc. Praise Him for who He is.
2. Sing a hymn and use the words of the hymn to guide the your time for prayer.
3. Select a few of God's attributes and spend the time meditating and praising Him for His character. Share answers to prayer and notice how these answers reflect different aspects of His character. Spend time thanking God for the answers and His faithfulness.
