Join the Experiment?

We will gather at 6:30 Wednesday evening for prayer, as is our custom every week. But we are experimenting with our format for that gathering, as it has become a bit stale of late. Perhaps you would join us in that experiment?

After all, every one of us is in need of being prayed for... And every one of us is in need of practicing praying for others... And every one of us is in need of praying with others. Prayer meeting is an opportunity for all of the above, and requires less than an hour of investment.

Try it. This Wednesday? 6:30?

In prayer, we find ourselves seeking a lost oneness with our old home, the heart of God. We have been wrenched from that home by sin and now know an urge that drives us to reunion. Prayer satisfies that urge, for now at least. It is a renaming of our current longing with the title of the old perfect one. It is recognition that God has renamed hopeless sin. It is now forgiven sin. He has renamed powerlessness: power. Weakness: strength. Despair: joy. We are living on dangerous, foreign ground. The only way to survive is to claim what we can for God, and for the rest seek the peace only prayer can bring. (Terry C. Muck, Liberating the Leader's Prayer Life)
