You will need: a Bible, paper, a pen and a
trash basket.
Ask God to
help you pray and read the Lords prayer in Matthew 6:9-15
Approach
Read Matthew
6:9 again.
Think of all
the names you’ve heard God called (if you need inspiration why not read:
Genesis 21:33, Exodus 3:14, Judges 6:24, Deuteronomy 7:9, Deuteronomy 10:17,
Isaiah 5:16, Psalm 136:26, Isaiah 7:14 & John 8:58.)
Which name
do you most use when speaking to God?
“What comes into our minds when we think
about God is the most important thing about us.” A.W. Tozer
Do you use
the name ‘Father’?
Read Matthew
7:9-11.
How does
your identity as God’s child affect the way you approach Him now?
Ask
Read Matthew
6:10-11.
Write your
name in the center of a sheet of paper.
Surround it
with the people, situations and places that you want God to move in. Include
anything that has been worrying you.
Ask God to
teach you to pray in His will for His kingdom in each of these situations.
Make a paper
airplane out of what you’ve written and as you throw it across the room thank
God that He has your whole life and all your requests in His hands.
Examine
Read Matthew
6:12.
Think back
through your last 24 hours, the things you’ve done the people you’ve met.
Ask the Holy
Spirit to highlight things you’ve done wrong.
Next ask the
Holy Spirit to show you times you should have acted and did not.
Write
everything that has come to mind on a piece of paper. As you say sorry tear it up and throw it into
the trash basket. Thank God for forgiving you. Is there someone you need to
forgive today? Ask God to show you who.
Extol
Read
Revelation 1:6.
Stand and
speak the names of God aloud adding after each one why this is true in your
life (i.e. I know you’re my
Provider
because you provided for the debts I needed to pay).
Write a song
or poem that expresses your love to the Father. Find inspiration from the book
of Psalms and modern day worship songs.
As you leave the Prayer Room stand
and say:
“I arise today through the strength of heaven….
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my
left, Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down, Christ when I arise
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me
Christ in every eye that sees me
Christ in every ear that hears me”
