Want to run a prayer room but not sure where to start?
Every single prayer room is different, and there is no ‘right’ way to run one. But over the years, we’ve noticed a few key elements that people find helpful. We suggest that your prayer room has at least one prayer activity to help people engage with each of these five areas:
- Worship: lifting our eyes to God
- Forgiveness: allowing the Holy Spirit to convict us and lead us in repenting and receiving forgiveness
- Contemplation: being still and allowing God to speak
- Thankfulness: practicing gratitude
- Intercession: contending in prayer for God’s Kingdom to come in our communities and our world
In this guide, we’ve assembled a variety of prayer stations under these themes. If you’ve never run a prayer room before, this is a great place to start. Some of these activities are incredibly simple and some of them require a little more set-up – choose the prayer activities that will work for your prayer room and your community.
