The Prayer Course
Wednesday 18th February, 2015
7.30 pm @ Monkton and Prestwick North Church, Monkton Road, Prestwick.
The Prayer Course could be one of the most significant things you ever do!
It’s been designed as a resource for small groups, to help millions of people go deeper in their relationship with God and to unlock the power of prayer in their lives. The aim is that over the course of six sessions, members of your group will get better at talking to God, better at listening to him and they’ll probably start seeing more miracles too. Not a bad use of six weeks.
‘Prayer is the essence of the spiritual life, without which all ministry loses its meaning. It is the fulfilment of The Great Commandment …’ – Henri Nouwen
The Prayer Course is a simple, practical introduction to a vast and exciting subject. The six sessions cover the simplest foundations of prayer. It’s not pitched at seasoned prayer warriors, for whom there are endless specialist books and conferences already, but rather at the vast majority of ordinary Christians who simply want to get better at talking to God and hearing his voice.
The basics covered by The Prayer Course are:
- Purpose in Prayer: Adoration
- Power in Prayer: Petition
- Prevailing in Prayer: Intercession
- Perseverance in Prayer: Dealing with Disappointments
- Perspective in Prayer: Learning to Listen
- Partnership in Prayer: Spiritual Warfare
This year we're learning to pray and we're tying in with our 24-7 prayer room at the church. Come along and find out what it's all about.
