Prayer as glue
Ever since I went to Africa this past summer God has been awakening me to his true power and my need for Him. It’s easy sometimes to do ministry or my job with my own strength and not depend on Him or seek His direction. Recently in our youth building we moved our prayer room from an area which was currently out of sight to a more prominent place in our facility. A couple of our leaders decided that we needed to gather monthly if not more to pray for this ministry. Organizing a prayer meeting is harder then you think, because a lot of times you have to deal with people’s schedules and convincing them prayer is important. We finally came up with a time where we would meet the last Sunday of the month before our small groups and spend 30-40 minutes in prayer. We sent out a mass email this week and just to remind our leaders we sent out a group text using tatango so they wouldn’t forget. Prayer is one of the few things that can bring us together and unify us with one purpose. The more we pray together the more our hearts and vision will be in the same place to reach students. Prayer is kind of like glue in that it knits our hearts together as we seek God.
