Last night I prayed for my neighbours. Today I'd like to pray for yours.
Here is how I set the mood for last night's prayer meeting:
When people arrived they saw pictures of people scattered across a table. I asked them to pick one that caught their interest and tell the group what attracted their attention.
After we sang a few songs I told the group that I had not brought any prayer points with me. Instead I wanted them to ask God what we should pray for.
I gave them a pencil and sheet of paper to capture God's ideas. Some people asked God about specific neighbours. Others focused on the pictures. Most people soon had a list of five to ten things to pray for.
We prayed for awhile in a large group and then broke into small groups. Some people just read their list. Others prayed longer prayers for just one or two items.
Could we do something similar?
Join me in one of these two songs:

Ask God what He wants us to pray for
Pray for these things
Send me part or all of your list
I will use this list to pray for your neighbourhood
I am looking forward to what God will do through our joint prayers.
