The Prayer Society is a group of people who commit to
making prayer a priority. It was established to help develop the
discipline of daily prayer and to invite God into every area of our
church. Prayer Society members make a five-fold commitment:
Attend church regularly: Members who regularly
attend church are more likely to pray for the church and
its ministries. They feel more a part of what God is doing
and have opportunities to see Him answer their prayers.
Pray through special prayer lists: Two lists per month
are sent to members, each containing a dozen or so prayer
requests. Members are to pray for each item on the list at
least once. The Prayer Society was founded to help
believers develop a disciple of prayer—these lists
encourage that discipline.
Pray a minimum of 2 1/2 hours each week: This block
of time was chosen because it is easy to achieve and breaks
down to thirty minutes per day, five days per week. A
member who drives 15 minutes between work and home
can pray during that time twice each day and easily fulfill
the weekly commitment they have made.
Support the church through tithes: The previous
chapter on finances explains how crucial it is to fear the
Lord with our finances. Failure to obey God in this area is
a hindrance to prayer. Members of the Prayer Society
must be in obedience to God with their finances.
Daily striving for holiness and obedience to God:
Willful disobedience in any area of life is a hindrance to
prayer. Members of the Prayer Society who desire to fear
God in their prayer lives must strive to obey Him daily.
