Group Prayer Tips

Over the years we’ve found that group prayer goes better when we follow three simple guidelines. Group prayer goes best when…

We Pray for One Topic at a Time

  • Anyone in the group is free to introduce a prayer request either before prayer begins or during the prayer time. Once a topic is introduced, the group focuses on that request alone. Once it’s covered, the group moves on to the next topic.

Each Person Prays More Than Once

  • Because the group is focusing on one topic at a time, each person is encouraged to pray several times during the prayer time for those topics they feel most led to pray about.

We Keep Our Prayers Short And Simple

  • Group prayer goes better when members keep their prayers short and to the point. When someone prays for a long time, it’s hard for the other members to stay focused and long prayers tend to intimidate those who are just learning to pray out loud in a group.
