PRAYER FOR YOUR CHURCH

Protection from the Enemy

Lord, I lift up our need for protection. Protect and deliver us from the evil one. Help us be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves as we deal with the wolves around us. Show us how to test every spirit to see if they are from You. Help us recognize the enemy’s disguises and schemes so that he won’t outwit us. (Jn. 17:15; Matt. 6:13; Matt. 10:14; 1 Jn.. 4:1; 2 Cor. 11:14; 2:11 )

Men in Your Small Group Don’t Pray? PDF Print E-mail

Many mixed small groups struggle with getting men to pray. If that is your problem, here are two simple solutions:

  1. For a time, divide the sexes when it’s time for prayer. Generally less verbal men will open up more if they are in smaller, same-sex groups where they sense others struggle too.
  2. Give men lots of help with what to pray. They will be more comfortable if you provide the prayer agenda: let’s pray about this . . . would each of us just offer a few sentences asking Jesus to . . . “ That kind of direction will help the shy beginner to enter in.
