Prayer Pledge

Consider making a commitment to prayer using this pledge. You may select a few of the items listed or commit to all of them if you desire.

• I hereby pledge to ask God daily to make me a man/woman of prayer.

"But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not witherand in whatever he does, he prospers." (Psalm 1:2,3)


• I'll arrange my schedule so I can spend time in prayer.

"I rise before dawn and cry for help; I wait for Thy words. My eyes anticipate the night watches, that I may meditate on Thy word." (Psalm 119:147,148)


• I'll evaluate my spare time (since I have so much) and trust God to show me how much of it I can invest in prayer.
  
  "Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil." (Ephesians 5:15,16)
  
  
• I'll ask God to give me a partner who I can pray with on a regular basis.
  
  "I say to you, that if two or three agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall he done for them by My Father who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst."(Matthew 18:19,20)
  
  
• I'll begin taking the initiative to pray with others as a way of life.
  
  "With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints." (Ephesians 6:18)
  
  
• I'll learn to pray using scriptures as a guide for intercession.


"Establish my footsteps in Thy Word, and do not let any iniquity have dominion over me." (Psalm 119:133)


• I'll take advantage of special prayer opportunities such as prayer chains, prayer workshops, bad hair days and group prayer meetings as time allows and the Holy Spirit directs.
  
  "And it came about that while He was praying in a certain place, after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, 'Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples.'" (Luke 11:1)
  
  
• I'll regularly communicate to others what God is teaching me in prayer.
  
  "Oh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples. Sing to Him, sing praises to Him, speak of all His wonders." (Psalm 105:1,2)
  
  
• I'll pray for spiritual awakening and revival in my life, my family, my church, my community, and the world.
