  24 HR Prayer Vigil Concerns

Walker Memorial Baptist Church

Rev. Dr. Joe A. Bush, Sr.

 

 I suggest that each believer approaching prayer should give him/herself solely to the business of prayer, turning off cell phones, I-pads, laptops, desktops, and television to reduce any possible distractions during your daily prayer.

 

Secondly, it is my strong suggestion that you find and chose a special spot where you will pray daily, a place where you will have the least interruption, such as the other bed room; the bathroom, or the closet, etc.

Nothing should be allowed to distract you, as you are in conversation with God, the Creator of the universe and the King of Glory. 

 

Choose one of the following postures for your prayer period:

  1. Sitting at a desk or table

  2. Kneeling by a chair (a bed is not good as it may make you too comfortable

 

Do these things a half hour before your prayer session begins:

 

  1. Carefully read, prayerfully read Psalm 80, really read it.

  2. Drink a bottle of water at  room temperature, if you wish to keep that bottle near you while in prayer-OK.

  3. Remember, that you are a son or daughter of the Most High God, come before him boldly, but humbly and reverently.

  4. Begin your prayer with much Praise and Adoration to God, then move to honest confession of your personal sins and the nation’s sins.

  5. You should then begin interceding for things and persons found above in A-H.

  6. When you have interceded for the those mentioned in A-H, you now begin to petition God for your own personal needs. Be bold with God, but don’t be selfish in your request. Ask yourself if what you are asking God is really for yourself, or is it for God’s glory.

  7. Finish your prayer with much sincere thanksgiving to God for what you have just prayed for.
