Group Prayer #3


Group prayer can take many organizational forms and still support the decree of God. Some meet before church for prayer time, others hold altar calls, some have prayer rails on the pews, others only offer steps to kneel at for prayer. Some have special times during the worship service for prayer and encourage everyone to participate. Some have provided a private prayer room where people rotate praying during the actual preaching service. Some have special time for men or women to pray together. Many publish a prayer list for the members to help guide specific needs of the membership. Others have individuals that call others on the phone or contact them over the internet and pray together. The process is not clear in scripture only the command that we gather and pray. A church that does not offer some form of prayer time for members is neglecting the scripture. Also those that gather and pray for “things” outside the clear teaching of scripture will not find the answers they seek.
