A Call to Persistence

Praying for God to Move in Challenging Situations

Matthew 7:7

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Prayer Guide

Today is about persistently praying for something again and again, taking the challenging things we regularly pray for or struggle with, asking God to move and intervene

Share on the Prayer Board or list privately for yourself the challenging things, the causes or people, that our community is praying for or things in your own life that you have been asking God to change for a long time.

            For example:  

  • Those struggling with food poverty

  • The mentally or physically ill

  • Those dealing with addiction

  • The homeless community

  • Conflicts in our world: wars, divides, and interpersonal issues

  • Prejudice and discrimination

 

Pray over and over for the same thing as you stack up the building blocks to make a wall.

When you are done, knock over the blocks as a symbol of God hearing your prayer, breaking down barriers and making a way.
