Practical Tips How To Pray
Over the coming weeks, you may pray and fast in a variety of ways. You can use the prayer materials to pray by yourself in your own prayer times, and also to join with groups of others to pray together. We would encourage you to find creative ways to involve as many people as possible with you in this prayer focus. Jesus gave special promises of blessing for Christians who come together to pray and agree as a group, not just to those in the prayer closet.
Ideas:
1) You could organise some weekly or twice weekly meetings with your church, youth group, Bible studies, etc.
2) Take a social occasion and turn it into a prayer event as well. Have others join with you in a special meal using the prayer topic for that day. Find out all you can about that particular culture - including food and dress, music, sports, etc.
3) Take notes and keep a journal of your prayer times. Particularly note any Scriptures that God may prompt you to read concerning that day’s topic.
4) Since we are focused on countries with Muslim populations of at least 10% or with more than 1 million, having an atlas close by is helpful.
5) 'The Night of Power’ (evening of the 26th day and on Day 27) is a strategic time of prayer. Consider setting aside this night for an all night prayer time with your church or mission group.
Here are specifics ideas for praying the 'Night of Prayer'.
