Developing a Prayer Strategy Matthew 6:5-8 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Developing a Prayer Strategy

Public Prayer vs. Personal Prayer “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door…

What if… Our prayer requests are actually prayers that we are already praying, not just what we are expecting other people to pray for us. The prayers that we pray at prayer meeting are the same ones that we are praying individually, we now pray corporately so that we can pray in agreement. Instead of people coming to church to get filled up, we got filled up at home in our own prayer time and came ready to “spill out” over each other. What if this was so much a part of our church culture that most of you would have no idea what I am talking about!

General Prayer vs. Specific Prayer and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you… for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Pray Specifically… Writing out a request means figuring out exactly how to pray. Do not pray what you want that person to do! Pray what you want God to do in that person’s life. Pray boundaries around people, but leave room for them to exercise their own will. Pray that they would have the freedom to choose what is right.

Broadcasted Prayer vs. Targeted Prayer “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them…

Kicking the Devil out!

Pray Strategically… How can you make your prayers more strategic? How can you make your prayer life more personal? How can you make your prayers more specific? What are your prayer goals? What will it take to target those goals with prayer?
