10 Ideas for the Prayer Wall

[Beyond the Emergency Prayer]

The Prayer Wall is an amazing way to encourage people to share prayer needs and prompts people to pray in the moment. Your prayer posts don’t have to be limited to current needs! You can pray proactively!

Here are 10 ideas to get you started: 1. Pray for Calvary. Post prayers for the different ministries you may be involved in; pray for upcoming events; pray for leaders and volunteers, pray for new visitors to come on the weekends, pray for people to come to Jesus, and pray for the different Calvary Gatherings. 2. Nobody needs to get political in church, but we can still pray for our leaders. Pray for your local, state and national representatives, from school board members to the President of the United States. 3. Pray for issues on your heart. People talk about taking action instead of simply praying, but we can do both! Posting it to the Prayer Wall not only gets people praying, but it spreads the word. 4. Give thanks and post some praises when things go well. Not only is this a chance to offer thanks, but it’s a chance to reflect on how God is moving. What is God doing in your life that you can give Him glory for? These quiet but amazing movements of God never make the news, but we should be sharing them with one another. 5. Pray for specifc members of Calvary. List a few people to pray for each week. Go above and beyond. Contact them ahead of time and ask if they have things they’d like prayer for. 6. Pray for miracles. Prayer is powerful and it changes things, sometimes in mind-blowing, miraculous ways. Pray for those miracles and watch for them. 7. In the wake of disasters, people are always looking for something to do—they can pray. From flooding in the Midwest to tornadoes in the South to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, there are constantly fresh disasters around the world that need prayer. People can’t always donate or go and help, but nothing can stop them from praying. 8. Pray for the countries of Myanmar, the Dominican Republic and Rwanda. These are countries that we support as a church both financially and with short term Missions trips. 9. Pray for the lost and for opportunities to tell them about Jesus. There’s a scary prayer. But you’ll be amazed at how those opportunities present themselves when you start asking for them and start looking for them! 10. Pray for revival in our churches, our city, and our nation! Pray for the CityChurch in State College.
