The basic idea is that different groups/ churches would each run one prayer surgery every week, but together they would offer widespread prayer coverage for a locality. So for example if my Church offered a Wednesday morning prayer surgery maybe another church would run one on a Friday, another on Monday etc. Ideally slots for prayer could be booked on-line as well as drop-in slots. I would love to see prayer surgeries which would offer intercessions in many different languages and maybe possibly for different groups of people? (e.g you could a youth surgery or healing surgery where people are anointed with oil). Some surgeries could offer a creche so that mums could attend and basically regular prayer would be open to all. What do you think, do you think this would work or is there a need?
It appeals to me because I really struggled to get regular prayer support when I had post-natal depression and I often felt desperate to meet, pray and cry with someone whilst I presented my requests to God and since the recent death of my friend I wonder is there a need for a more structured service for desperate Christians? (As my experience has taught me that rarely does desperation give advance notice therefore it can be hard to get prayer when we really need it.) Why not let us plan to 'be there' for those who are struggling to persevere, which would only be possible if we agree as Christians to work together!
However maybe this or something similar is already happening in your area? I am just trying to test if this is from God or if it is my own creation, thus I would be very grateful for your help as I sift this wee idea.
I really liked this post. Can I copy it to my site? Thank you in advance.
