Tuesday evening at 7 pm I usually join a group of guys for an hour of prayer together. We meet in the “cry room” off of the sanctuary at JBC. We sit in a circle and begin with each man sharing a few things he would like prayed about. Each of us has paper and pen and we write down each man’s request. The requests may be very personal or an event in the world such as the Ebola crisis in West Africa. It usually takes nearly 30 minutes for each guy to share and for some questions to be asked to clarify the need. We then pray randomly for the remaining 30 minutes covering all the requests that were made. I don’t lead the prayer time, Ted Pratt does, I am just one of the guys. I enjoy this hour very much. I experience a great sense of God’s presence and His joy during this time that is very renewing for me. I also enjoy the comraderie that happens as we pray for each other and week by week hear of the progress or changes that is happening in each of the areas that we are praying about. There are 168 hours in each of our weeks. Which one of the hours is most important for you? I think sometime we don’t experience what could be the best hour because it takes a little work to get there or make it happen.
