Prayer Stations 2018

Station 1 - I Need Thee, Oh I Need Thee

Find a tree.  The most majestic tree for your viewing.  Now, imagine God as the tree that He created.  Where are you? Are you looking up from the trunk base? Are you jumping to touch the leaves? Are you barely hanging on with one arm? Are you sitting among the branches?  Are you casually swinging and enjoying childlike peace?

Think of all the trees that are out there for us.  If every time you saw a tree and used that as a reminder of your relationship with God, how would your position in the tree change?  Would you remain an observer from the trunk or would you climb into the branches for a closer connection?

As you ponder your position, click on the link for I Need Thee Every Hour.  When done listening, pray with intention for whatever is on your heart.

Station 3  - Walk Down to the Water’s Edge

You’ll need your rock.  Stand by the water’s edge.  Listen to Down to the River to Pray.  When done, use your rock, as needed, to fulfill the instruction below.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbgfQ48hWuY

Now it’s time to let go.  
Take some slow deep breaths and relax.
Begin to let go of the tensions in your body.
Feel the pressure and busyness slip away.
Breathe in God...and breathe out your tension
and worries…
Your rock is in your hand.  The water is before you.

Imagine that all your concerns and worries are
held in the stone.
Hold the stone tightly and name the concerns
and worries in your mind.
Hold the stone over the pool of water.
In your own time let it go.

Watch your concerns and worries fall.
Imagine them falling into God’s lap.
How does it feel to release them?

Station 4  - Gazebo

Click on the link for Good, Good Father. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibbsFuX_eHg&feature=youtu.be

Pray with intention to allow God to be the perfection that He is.  Pray with thankfulness that His perfection rules our lives.

Station 5 - Savior, Lead Me Lest I Stray

Find a path.  Is your path narrow or wide?  Reflect on the paths that you’ve walked lately.  Pray with intention for guidance towards the narrow path.  Click on the link for further reflection.

Station 6 - What Do You Most Desire From God?

Find sand and a stick/rock or be prepared to “air write”.

John 14:13-14 says,  “I will do whatever you ask for in my name so that the Father can be glorified in the Son. When you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.”

– What do you want to ask God for?

Click on the link for How Great Is Our God.  After you listen, write your request in the sand or air.   As you write, pray for God to place an intention of trust in asking for your greatest desire.
