Prayer Suggestions: Bulletin Filler
Pray Without Ceasing; In Everything Give Thanks; Rejoice Forever!!
Pray while you wait:
@ Stoplights: For safety at the intersection.
@ Doctor's offices: For healing of yourself & all the other visitors.
@ School visits: For Wisdom to be given to the children & for teachers to teach truth.
@ Restaurants: For healthy food & salvation of workers.
@ Train / Bus / Airport terminals: For safe travel & boldness to testify for Jesus.
Pray while you travel:
Walking ... ask God to walk with you and to rule the neighborhoods.
Driving/riding ... as you pass by ministries needing the grace of God.
Traveling ... past businesses profitting from sin: May God would have mercy on owners & customers by bringing repentance.
Flying ... for the glory of God over all the lands you see.
... (The further you travel, the more prayer time you have!)
Pray when you communicate:
... While you wait for internet connections.
... While you are on hold.
... While you get the mail & prepare to read/send mail.
... When you get yet another telemarketing call.
... As you read the newspaper or watch TV, for those concerned in the news stories, particularly the living folks who have been affected, yet remain unreached with the good news of Jesus.
... Before you speak, particularly when someone has offended you.
... After you hear someone's personal concern, that you would keep confidences and that they would find God's grace.
... When you read the morning paper or watch the news.
Pray with your senses:
... When you smell food, give thanks in your heart that God supplies.
... When you hear police sirens, car horns, or shouts, that God would bring His peace.
... When you hear gossip, that it would be stopped.
... When you see crime, that justice would be done.
... When you exercise, that you might grow more disciplined spiritually as well.
... When you taste food, that all who helped in the preparation, from cook to cowherd would be blessed.
... When you feel a hug, that the person would find comfort.
... When you feel a tug, that the little ones would grow strong.
Ephesians 6:18 "Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints." (NIV)
