Prayer

PRAYER

I felt it may prove helpful to believers who pray regularly for their "own" Assembly fellowship to use a simple "prayer trigger." It is likely to be only of benefit to Assemblies where there is a fewness of number in the company.

Intelligent, consistent and considered prayer is invaluable in our walk individually and collectively.

As I enjoy fellowship in a "small" Assembly gathering I have observed that we tend to occupy the same seat on every occasion, I mean generally speaking of course. If this is your experience perhaps you could adopt this approach in prayer for your fellow believers.

In my minds eye I scan the gathered saints and move along the rows of seats calling each one to mind in order to hold them up before the Throne of Grace, thus none is missed.

It may be possible to extend this practice in our entreaties for the lost; mentally listing the neighbours we know as we "traverse" our road or street using the same approach. It may be extended to other areas during our times set aside for prayer. Perhaps embracing our extended families or our work colleagues. I leave it to your wisdom before the Lord, trusting that our resorting to prayer will prove to fervent and effectual.  

Brethren, please bear with my simplicity in this important matter.
