Day 1: opening prayer walk

This morning we launched our ten days of 24/7 prayer, a time of focusing on the Lord leading up to Pentecost and the Global Day of Prayer on May 31. In today's chapel, musicians, dancers, and worshipers gathered and spent some time praising the Lord together before leaving on a corporate prayer walk.



Ten prayer stations have been set up along the OM USA walking trail for anyone who wants to visit and pray along with us.

Graham Wells, head of OM USA's Global Prayer Ministries, offered a few challenges for this 10-day season of prayer:

• Read Matthew 5-7 daily and pray through it. This is Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and it will be our focus. Look for the kingdom principles Jesus gives.
  
• Tithe your time. There are 210 hours in these 10 days. Graham asks if we can "extravagantly give...a portion of our time to seek Him?"
• Pray daily for 5 nations, 5 cities, and 5 missionaries. Choose any the Lord lays on your heart and commit to those during this prayer time. You may pray through these at the stations on the prayer walk or from your home if you are not here locally.
  

And please tell us how you are praying in the comments section below. What are your 5? Or what insights has the Lord given you in His Word (wherever you are reading). How did it go when you tithed your time? Let us know.

Thanks for praying with us. We are lifting you up as well.
