What Is Listening Prayer?
John 10:4 says, “My sheep hear my voice.” Many people think of prayer as being one-directional – us talking to God. Yet prayer can, and should, be bi-directional, with us also listening to what God has to tell us. God can speak to us through the Bible, through others, through circumstances, but especially through his Holy Spirit, who can put specific words and thoughts in our minds as we pray for ourselves and others.
We have trained and experienced teams that are available to pray for you at Sanctuary and other times throughout the year. The format involves designating a 15 minute session for an individual, couple or family to be prayed for.
HERE are some helpful guidelines in how to prepare for and respond to a Listening Prayer session.
