How To Find Out About Prayer
A 40 Day Challenge following Mark Batterson’s book, Draw the Circle
I have started a 40 Day Prayer Challenge based on the book Draw the Circle by Mark Batterson. I’m not sure why at this particular time God challenged me with this. I know we all have too much on our plates. But maybe that’s because we don’t pray enough.
I challenge you to join me. I have a private Facebook Private Group that you may join by asking. Please ask to join here.
Each day during the work week I will start by reading a chapter and journalling my thoughts. I will share those with you on my FB page.
I enjoy journalling in my Bible as well. Sometimes I draw pictures — other times just notes. Here is an example for the first day which started June 16th.
The first Circle of prayer:
Lord, help me to hear what or who I need to pray for.
Here are 8 things I learned from day one.
- Make a daily time for prayer.
- Ask God to show you who and what to pray for.
- Show up for your appointed time with God.
- Be still and quiet.
- Listen.
- God will invade your routine.
- Live in holy anticipation.
- God will orchestrate supernatural synchronicities (meaningful coincidences — or as I would say God-incidents).
The following are quotes from Mark Batterson and Draw the Circle.
We don’t get our marching orders until we get on our knees. (tweet this)
If you establish a prayer routine, your life will be anything but routine.
Let God do the promoting and networking.
