“Lord, teach us to pray” a disciple asked Jesus. And from that request we have a model for prayer that has been a cornerstone of worship and a guiding practice for millions of Christians, known simply as The Lord’s Prayer.
This 40-day challenge is to pray this prayer daily, not to get prayers resolved or questions answered, but to sit in the presence of God with intentional focus.
You can pray this prayer anytime of your day, but we recommend having a set time and place to be intentional with your time to meet with God. Perhaps you can experiment with different prayer locations during this time (your porch, car, park, church, hiking trail)
If you would like to be part of this prayer movement simply click you are “going” to the event and join with hundreds of others who will be praying the same prayer with you daily. Then post pics throughout the 40 days using #40daysofOurFatherChallenge.
How will you experience the presence of God over the next 40 days by being intentional in your prayer and presence?
There are variations of the prayer, so find the one that speaks to your heart, or use a variety of translations as you pray these 40 days.
If you have questions, need support, or prayer, contact us at Gate City United Methodist Church.
