Hints for Effective Praying

There many others topics for prayer. The more you give specific topics and requests for the hours of prayer the easier your people will find it to stay focused in prayer. Be creative. Visit our Prayer Training to learn more about 12 Steps of Intercession.

Exercise yourself in prayer. Vary your prayer positions. Walk and pray. Walk in the church and anoint things as you pray. Walk through your neighborhood. Quote Scripture, read the Bible outloud, claim promises, sing songs, weep over the lost, raise your hands, pray outloud.

Be visual in prayer. Open a World Atlas to pray for the countries of the world. Use missionary prayer cards to pray for them by name and face. Use the C&MA Web site to gather missionary pictures to print out for your prayer time. You could do the same for praying for people of your church. A church pictoral directory is a great help. Write out some of your prayers, especially prayers of confession.
