Gather: Prayer

This month, we’ve been practicing Jesus’ habit of prayer. Let’s go deeper, and lean into prayer together with a group of friends. Here’s a simple structure for this time:

Gather

(2 MINUTES)

Find a space where you can be uninterrupted, like a dorm room or prayer room.

 

Share

(5 MINUTES)

Go around in a circle, each person sharing something they would like prayer for. This doesn’t have to be personal! Someone’s request may be for the upcoming school year, revival on campus, etc.

Invite

(2 MINUTES)

One person, ask the Holy Spirit to guide your prayer and lead your time together.

Pray for each other

(10 MINUTES)

One by one, lift up these requests to God with honesty. 

Pray for your campus

(10 MINUTES)

One by one, cover your campus in prayer, from your dorm room, to your classes, to your relationships. Ask God to show you how His Kingdom might be revealed at school this year.

Close

(1 MINUTE)

Recite together the Lord’s prayer to close your time:

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
