A Personal Prayer Retreat, is a solid block of time spent alone with the Lord, in seeking the Lord in prayer. It is a time to slow ones pace of life and focus on the Lord alone for a few hours, or in some cases, a few days.

Though we present a schedule you may feel free to pray any way and any where you like at anytime during the evening. It is your time alone with God. Make it special. Dress casually, and comfortably. Bring a walkman and earphones with worship tapes for times of worship without disturbing others. We recommend Wesley Duewel's Touch The World Through Prayer in which he has an excellent chapter on "A Personal Prayer Retreat."

Pastor, do you have discipline of a personal prayer retreat that you would like to share with others? From time to time we will focus on pastors who pray and their particular style of personal prayer retreat.

For now check out our section on Prayer Training for some excellent ideas.
