What happened to Prayer Meetings?

View Comments

During worship at church yesterday I had a clear conviction. I remember in college the availability and convenience of a prayer meetings going on at all hours of the day on campus at UCSD.  I remember them being a regularity and habit of my schedule.  My planner would be blocked out with lecturers, labs, discipleship meetings, prayer meetings and work to fill in the gaps.  I remember prayer meetings being a starting point of connection with really starting to know people, their hopes, desires and need.  I remember prayer meetings as a starting point of seeing God’s provision in my own life and the lives of people around me.  But now my schedule is work and that is pretty much about it.  I’m sort of interested in starting some type of prayer meeting during the week.  Could be themed, could be open.  Could meet at someone’s house or maybe somewhere else.  Not sure what it would look like post-college just that I realize I hunger for it.

  • Mmm, my future wife.

    And having open hands that are able to open the door whenever Jesus knocks. That we would let go of anything we're holding onto too tightly that keeps us from obedience to God. That's on an individual level.

    On a corporate level, anything and everything. There are certainly no shortage of things in the world to pray about.

    Also, I'm sure PCs have some way to deal with this newfangled "video chat."
  • Get a mac so we can IChat. Until then we will have to just deal in the dated non-technological world of meeting up, hah. What do you think we could pray about?
  • I'm interested. Maybe there is some way to leverage technology to make this easier? I dunno, someway that allowed for a human feel but made scheduling less paramount? No specific ideas, just wishful thinking.
