Hello fellow prayer warriors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week at our Women\u2019s gathering, Kim shared with all of us an app she\u2019s been using to help draw her attention to prayer at specific times of the day.\u00a0\u00a0The app is called Inner <\/a>Room<\/a> and comes from Tyler Staton who <\/a>authored<\/a> Pray Like Monks, Live Like Fools<\/a>, a book the leadership team and staff have been reading through and are excited to bring to our church family.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The objective is to have a reminder on your phone at a specific time you have set, and then a directed prayer topic based off a prayer board you build and manage on the app itself.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s less about mandating a certain kind of prayer, and more about giving a reminder in the midst of a busy day to focus thoughts and attention on Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This quote taken from a letter written by missionary Jim Elliot sums it up well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI would exhort you each to begin taking a few moments out with your Lover at midday\u2026Often at noon there is a tendency for the soul to be \u2018veiled\u2019, clouded with world-lore, filmed over with temporalities. Just a few moments spent before the Shepherd, listening to the silence of His love and telling him the state of your soul even if it\u2019s not warm toward Him, just to keep short accounts by simple confession\u2014this has been a great blessing to me\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n We don\u2019t have any specific financial updates this week, but God doesn\u2019t only tell us what to pray for! He tells each one of you. I encourage you to try out the app, or just set an alarm for a prayer time of your own cultivation, and ask God to pull back the veil and film of the current circumstance to experience his presence. In that place, whatever he stirs in your imagination or makes you aware of, make a note! Record it!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, come to Abide this week! There\u2019s something about being in the building, location prayer is different, that engages us powerfully. Stand in a corporate time of intentional focus on the Shepherd, listening and responding to him in partnership with our church family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are deeply enjoying this dynamic of connecting with all of you. Thank you for your participation with this team!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sommer<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Along with Inner Room, check out Lectio365<\/a>, another prayer app geared for a morning and evening guided scripture reading, prayer, and quiet reflection time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello fellow prayer warriors!
