Sweet Hour of Prayer
Sweet Hour of Prayer
Prayer is such a vital part of our lives. It is one of the greatest determining factors in whether or not our girls will stay in the church and stay close to God.
What are some ways that we can show them the need for prayer and instill a desire to pray within their hearts?
Location: The church would be best for this meeting.
Devo: Give examples of what is accomplished in prayer. Share stories (previously gathered) of people in your church that have seen God do the miraculous because they asked, in prayer.
Give Scriptures of the necessity of prayer, such as:
“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” John 15:7
“But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” Matt 15:7
A good book to use for instruction in prayer is The Prayer Journey by Freddi Trammell.
In this book Sis. Trammell teaches the importance of the different facets of prayer and stations are set up where you accomplish the 8 different aspects of prayer.
The 8 areas/stations of prayer that you will “journey” through is:
