Do you know someone who is questioning their faith? Do you yourself have big questions about God? Is there someone in your small group who is holding on to an idea that is hindering their walk with Jesus? Turning to prayer is the best first step. By spending time in intentional prayer, you are inviting God to move in this person’s life and protect from Satan’s deceitful tactics. Use these seventeen prayer prompts to keep you consistent and cover the seeker in action-oriented prayer.
How to Stay in Prayer
Journal It: Open your journal and write one of the prayer prompts at the top of seventeen pages in your journal. When you arrive at this page, take a moment to write out a short prayer based on the prompt.
Post It: Use the printable version of these prayer prompts and put it inside your Bible, next to your kitchen sink, or another place that you commonly have a quiet moment.
Schedule It: Put reminders in your phone with the prayer prompts scheduled throughout the week. Pick a consistent time or allow the Holy Spirit to prompt you to schedule random times.
In Fellowship: Share these prayer prompts with your co-leader or another person who is joining you in prayer. Or if the seeker is outside of your small group, choose one of them to pray over the seeker each week during your face-to-face meetings.
