Adventure Prayer<br />

#1<br />

#3<br />

This week, when you hear the screaming<br />

sirens of an emergency vehicle, pause and<br />

pray. Pray for protection for all involved.<br />

For courage and calm. For clear minds to<br />

observe and interpret situ<strong>at</strong>ions. For<br />

wisdom for the split second decisions.<br />

Expand your prayer language by praying<br />

other people's prayers:<br />

Psalm 3<br />

Psalm 4<br />

Psalm 5<br />

Psalm 6<br />

Psalm 8<br />

Psalm 9<br />

Psalm 10<br />

Psalm 12<br />

Psalm 13<br />

Psalm 17<br />

#4<br />

Psalm 18<br />

Psalm 22<br />

Psalm 25<br />

Psalm 28<br />

Psalm 30<br />

Go for a prayer walk around your neighborhood,<br />

praying for each neighbor individually by name.<br />

Memorize the Lord's Prayer in<br />

M<strong>at</strong>thew 6:9-13 and pray it every<br />

day for seven days.<br />

#2<br />

We often say th<strong>at</strong> prayer is a<br />

two-way convers<strong>at</strong>ion, but don't<br />

act th<strong>at</strong> way. This week, before<br />

you start praying, spend a few<br />

moments in silence followed by<br />

a quiet reflection on God's<br />

Word. Allow God to start the<br />

convers<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />

#5<br />

This week, instead of saying your<br />

prayers, write them.<br />

Did you know, th<strong>at</strong>'s how the Book of<br />

Psalms came about.<br />

Practice “prayer breaks” throughout the day,<br />

pausing for a few moments of prayer every hour;<br />

set an alarm on your phone to help you<br />

remember.<br />
