Testimonies

Below is a prayer guide that will also be available within the Prayer Room.  The purpose of this list is to help make your prayer times more meaningful and effective.  We also encourage you to look to scripture during your time of prayer.

1.             Give God praise and thanks.  Praise God for who He is and for some of the blessings he has given you and people you know.  Listen to some worship music.  Sing praises to Him.

2.             Pray for not-yet believers.  Pray for friends, family members, and people that need to be saved, asking God to open their hearts and allow them to see the truth of the Gospel of Christ.  Pray for opportunities to evangelize to not-yet believers and for God to continue to give our community a rich harvest of new believers.

3.             Pray for missions.  Pray for those people pursuing short-term or long-term missions.  Pray for their safety and time in a new place and/or culture.  Pray that God will use them abroad in witnessing to people and leading them to Christ.  Pray that they can help provide for people’s needs.         

4.             Pray for personal spiritual renewal.  Pray about your personal walk with Christ including specific challenges and struggles you face.  Ask God for forgiveness of sins.  Look to scripture and ask God for guidance and counsel in your endeavors.  Feel free to put up Bible verses or drawings on the wall depicting aspects of God and/or your spiritual walk. 

5.             Pray for spiritual renewal in the body of Christ.  Pray for genuine spiritual renewal/revival in the Bay Area and specifically at Stanford.  Pray that God will stir up complacent Christians and cause us to seek Him as never before.  Pray for walls of division to be torn down and for biblical unity within the body of Christ.  Pray for God to continue to pour out His Spirit in a fresh and powerful way.

6.             Pray for all nations and peoples of earth, and for those in authority.  Pray for people around the world and the different events and conflicts affecting them.  Pray that we may live in peace and concord and that people may seek truth and justice. 

7.             Pray for the specific requests of people.  Spend some time praying for individuals whose specific needs/requests you are aware of.  Be sure to include the needs/requests of those present in prayer meetings.  Feel free to put up specific prayer requests up on the wall for others to pray for you.

8.             Pray for those who suffer and are afflicted in body or in mind.  Pray for both people you know personally and those you don’t know.  Pray for the hungry, homeless, destitute and oppressed; for the sick, wounded, and crippled; for those in loneliness, fear, and anguish; for those who face temptation, doubt, and despair; for the sorrowful and bereaved; for prisoners and captives and those in mortal danger.

9.             Pray for your church and on campus ministries.  Spend some time praying about the needs of your church/fellowship.  Pray for the success of specific ministries that come to mind.  Pray for the leaders within your church/fellowship and that more people would participate in these ministries. 

10.         Praise God for answered prayer.  Give God praise for what He will do.  Express your faith and confidence in God to answer prayer.
