The Lost Art of Praying

Does praying in front of others terrify you? 

Jesus promised that "where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I with them" (Matthew 18:20). Praying together is an opportunity to enter into the presence of God in a unique and powerful way. But for many, praying together has become a lost art.

*****************

What is Quik Pray?

Quik Pray is individuals coming together to pray.

Who is Quick Pray for?

Quik Pray is for whoever wants to gather together once a week to pray.

What do you pray for?

We pray for anything that is brought to the group. It consist of but is not limited to our church, our friends, our family, our community, local leaders, National leaders, current events, unspoken request…

Can you describe what a typical session is like?

We meet at 6:30 on Sunday evening, stand in a circle holding hands, one person starts praying and each individual attending has the opportunity to pray. When everyone who wants to pray is finished we end the prayer.

I don’t know how to pray?

If you want to learn how to work on cars, hang around an auto mechanic. If you want to learn how to build a house, hang around a carpenter. If you want to learn how to invest in the stock market, hang around a broker. If you want to learn how to pray, hang around individuals who pray.

I am not comfortable praying out loud around other people. If I come am I required to pray?

No one is required to pray. We would love to have you there and God will honor your presence. 

How long does one session last?

Each individual prayer may last about a minute or less so it depends on how many people are there and how many pray. We have had from 2 to 5 people pray so the prayer sessions are Quik but powerful. Hence the name “Quik Pray”.

 What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

  —David C. McCasland
