Day Six: Prayer Challenge – Brad Jersak Prayer Quote

Reminder to pray for your relationship prayer request!

by Brad Jersak in his book, Can You Hear Me?

“I find it helpful … to think of prayer as a context, a venue or a place where we wait on God’s presence and his voice. It doesn’t get much more vivid then this:
I come to the garden alone,
while the dew is still on the roses,
and the voice I hear, falling on my ear,
The son of God discloses.
And He walks with me and He talks with me,
and He tells me I am His own,
and the Joy we share, as we tarry there,
none other has ever known.
He speak, and the sound of his voice
is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
and the melody that he gave to me within my heart is ringing,
And He walks with me and He talk with me,
and He tells me I am His own,
and the Joy we share as we tarry there,
none other has ever known.
C. Austin Miles, 1912

Day 5 of Prayer Challenge: Prayer Poem

Reminder to Pray for your relationship prayer request!

Poem by Ted Loder, found in ‘Guerrillas of Grace’

I Have so Few Ways to Pray

Lord,

I have so few ways to pray,

but you have so many ways to answer.

Keep me alert

to your unpredictable answers,

to your unexplainable surprises.

and by your grace,

make me one of those surprises,

for the sake of the One

who taught us the surprises

of moving mountains,

healing touches,

wondrous stories,

great banquets,

first suppers

broken bread,

crosses,

and resurrections.

“To pray in Jesus’ name means to pray in his spirit, in his compassion, in his love, in his outrage, in his concern. In other words, it means to pray a prayer that Jesus himself might pray.”  Kenneth L. Wilson

Reminder to pray for your relationship prayer request!

“Beware in your prayers, above everything else, of limiting God, not only by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do. Expect unexpected things ‘above all that we ask or think.'”  Andrew Murray

Day One: Henri Nouwen Prayer Quote

Reminder to pray for your relationship prayer request:

I thought I would start out our prayer challenge with a story from Henri Nowen’s book, Wisdom for the Long Walk of Faith, that I will tell in my own words. It is such a terrific story about the kind of faith that we can use for this month of prayer. It is the story of the flyer and the catcher in a circus. Nouwen befriended a troupe of trapeze artists. As they talked about the beautiful dance of trapeze flying, the leader of the group shared that as a flyer he must have complete trust in his catcher. The audience sees the flyer as the star but, the leader maintains to Nouwen, it is actually the catcher who does everything. The worst thing a catcher can do is to try to catch the catcher. The flyer could break his own or the catchers wrists,ending their careers. A flyer must fly and trust and a catcher must catch… “when I fly…I have  simply to stretch out my arms and hands and wait for him to catch me and pull me safely up.”

May you experience the freedom and trust of flying and being caught in the dance of prayer this month.
