24/7 means constant; all the time, every moment. As humans we don't have the energy or focus to do anything 24/7 by our own strength. But God does. He is committed to you 24/7. He never stops loving you or caring for you; He is never for one second unaware of your needs. We honor His commitment to us, and eagerly engage in the chance to know Him more, by committing ourselves to 24/7 prayer.

Welcome to the Prayer Room! Please enjoy allowing the Lord to be with you. Feel free to use the stations as starting guides for your prayers, songs, dances, or quiet meditations. There is an iMac computer next to the sound board that has iTunes on it. Please feel free to select some worship music and play it while you pray. You are invited to light a candle as you enter the prayer room and extinguish it when you leave to mark your time with the Lord. Also, please pray for the person who comes to relieve you after your shift and partake of communion together. (Ideas: that God would speak specifically to them, that their time would be sweet fellowship with Him, their personal requests). Keep the river flowing!

Please respect the purpose of the space and those who are praying by speaking quietly or taking non-prayer conversations to the gallery area. If you choose to sleep here overnight, please sleep in the gallery or the basement. Thanks.

As you enter into the prayer room, we encourage you to begin with a heart of simply seeking God’s presence. Try to begin by putting away any agenda’s or stresses you might have came here with. Participating in acts of giving God praise, confession, and thanksgiving can assist us in connecting with God and actually being in His presence. Once we are connected with God it helps us have his heart as we pray for ourselves, our love ones and the world around us. Do not feel you must use the stations to do this, but only if they will assist you.

Adoration

Prayers of Adoration: *Create tiny pieces of artwork, words, prayers that represent your personal adoration of God

Psalm 27:4, One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.

*Art pieces will be collected throughout the week and assembled into the prayer mobile, creating a visual of what God is speaking throughout the week!

Confession

The Altar of Sacrifice: Love, Confessions, Burdens. We look to the example of Abraham and his obedience to sacrifice his only Son. Similarly God himself Sacrificed his only son Jesus on the cross. What things do we need to lay down on the altar or nail to the cross? Grab a fabric piece and write down anything that hinders your full obedience to God. Tie the fabric on the altar as Abraham bound his son Isaac to the altar. Trust God to provide the Grace to leave this behind.

Thanksgiving

Ebenezer Stones: As the Israelite took stones from the middle of the Jordan and erected monuments to Gods provisions, we can remember how God has met us in our own lives. Grab a stone or stones and write down blessings.

Supplication (intercession)

- Lost, Lambs, & Least of These.
In the Prayer Room write a prayer for individuals or people groups that God puts on your heart. We pray revelation and conviction for the Lost. A home, family and a place to grow for lambs and prodigals. Provision and compassion for the least of these globally as well as in our own neighborhoods.

- Communion: The body and blood of Christ are available for you to partake. Take some time to meditate on the greatest sign of love.

- Family: intercede for families. Pray for family to be a key part of the Body of Christ and that those that feel isolated are able to experience amongst followers of Jesus. Pray for the Source Merge Church expression for those that want to call Source their home and family. Pray for Spiritual Moms & Dads. Or write a prayer for those that you consider your family and tape it to the doors.

- Abiding in Christ: John 15. We are the branches, Jesus is the vine. Our journey with Christ is a continual growing process. Because of the Fathers great love for us He is continually wooing us into intimacy, dependency and obedience. Take time to sit and contemplate what season He has you in.

- God's Heart. Large red heart....This is "God's heart" it's huge in comparison to ours. take the small paper hearts next to it and right down "what you need to trust God with" and take these things in your heart and place them in "His" heart, let go and receive His peace.

- Create: Feel free to use the paint supplies to paint whatever prayers are on your heart.
