Last night at Awaken we had a prayer service. We began our worship with several songs. After singing some songs we prayed. We had several prayer stations set up around the room at which we would pray. At one station, we meditated on a scripture about loving our enemies and praying for them. We prayed that God would work in our lives and others lives, and that God would bring us into a deeper relationship with one another that revolves around God. We prayed for the “hopes” that we have. We prayed for situations or problems that arise everyday within our community, nation, and world. We took some time to simply be still and silent, listening to God. At one prayer station we made sandwiches for the patrons of the Presbyterian Night Shelter. While making the sandwiches we prayed for the person who will eat the sandwich, the nutrition they will receive, the hands that will serve the sandwich, and the spirit to serve. We used the prayer board to share any joys, concerns, or celebrations with each other. And finally, we prayed for the Invisible Children organization. We pray for the leadership and all of those involved, including the children. Along with that our offering for the next three weeks, not including last night will go to Invisible Children. After a time of prayer we came back together and closed our worship with one last song. It was a great night!
