PAUL’S REQUESTS FOR OTHERS

Last week we looked at some of the habits of the Apostle Paul’s prayer life. I’m so excited to take a look at what he prayed for! After reading through all the prayers I could find, I listed 41 items that Paul prayed for other people. This doesn’t even include His thanksgivings, praises, personal requests,Continue reading “PAUL’S REQUESTS FOR OTHERS”

INSPIRATION FROM PAUL

How did you learn to pray? Do you have a specific style of praying? Have you ever changed the way you pray? One way to examine how you learned to pray is by thinking of the people in your life that prayed aloud. Quite often our styles reflect the Christians that surround us. We canContinue reading “INSPIRATION FROM PAUL”

THE CIRCLE MAKER

I grew up in and still attend a church that emphasizes logic and reason over emotions. It is what could be classified as non-denominational non-charismatic non-liturgical but similar to reformed except we don’t baptize infants. I guess we enjoy saying what we’re not! Haha! The church was not always this way, but for the pastContinue reading “THE CIRCLE MAKER”

PRAYING FOR YOUR LOCAL CHURCH

Before there were youth groups, kids clubs, and small groups, there were prayer meetings. In suburban and urban areas in America in the 19th and through most of the 20th century, most churches met on Sunday mornings and had a weekly prayer meeting on Wednesday nights. Just ask a seasoned saint how church was doneContinue reading “PRAYING FOR YOUR LOCAL CHURCH”

6 MONTHS

If you had told me last August 29th that one year from now I would have consistently written one blog post on prayer every week for 6 months, I would have probably laughed at you. One, I was struggling to keep a consistent prayer life so how could I possibly be advising others about it.Continue reading “6 MONTHS”

WHAT DID JESUS REQUEST?

Can we ask God for anything? Sure, Jesus said in John 14:13, “Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do..” but did He really mean whatever? Sometimes, we might find ourselves wondering if we are asking for the right thing when we pray. It can be helpful to see what godly people inContinue reading “WHAT DID JESUS REQUEST?”

CONSEQUENCES OF PRAYING

When people start praying intently for others, I would assume that they rarely think about the consequences. Becoming more disciplined at supplication likely comes from a sense of duty, care for others, or a combination of both. Hopefully, these posts have inspired you to pray more often for others. If you have increased your prayerContinue reading “CONSEQUENCES OF PRAYING”

TO SHARE OR NOT TO SHARE

Remember a time you were praying with a group. Did you share a prayer request? Why or why not? Just like any social setting in which we find ourselves, there are reasons behind why we respond in a specific way. But are they valid biblical reasons? Maybe asking questions about whether or not we shareContinue reading “TO SHARE OR NOT TO SHARE”

PRAYING WITH FRIENDS

Do you pray with your friends? I tend to skim sentences so let me ask that one more time, do you pray with your friends? I think a lot of us would definitely say we pray for our friends, but it is likely that not many of us spend time praying with our friends. OurContinue reading “PRAYING WITH FRIENDS”

SCHEDULING PRAYER

Hopefully these blog posts have encouraged you to pray. We’ve talked about categories of prayer and along the way we’ve found some methods for praying and keeping track of prayer requests. I am also finding so many good resources on learning about prayer. The texting group I’ve been keeping up on with the young womenContinue reading “SCHEDULING PRAYER”
