Our
theme for this month is letting go & new beginnings. We have two
prayer areas, one in the “upper room” and one in the corner of our main
worship hall. Both areas are set out in similar ways. As you enter,
you are invited to spend time (on your knees, spiritually and /or
physically ) coming into the presence of the blessed Trinity – to “Be
still and know that I am God”; to write a prayer or scripture on a heart
. Then, when you are ready, to move onto a prayer station where dirty
stones are used to help you let go of things in the past, by
symbolically washing a stone & then placing it to build an altar to
our holy God. Written prayers for forgiveness, healing and grace are
there to help you. “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past”.
At the next prayer station there is opportunity to meditate on where
you have come from, where God is leading you, what doors He is opening
for you, scriptures, prayers for new beginnings, footprints to write on,
butterflies to colour in, play dough to mould – all the time conscious
that “I know the plans I have for you.....”. Finally you are invited to
“Stand in the gap” and lift the territorial prayers we have received to
the throne of grace. A real privilege and blessing.
God bless
Patsy
