A Deliberate Challenge for 2015!

Okay! Here it is! The 2015 Challenge I am posing to the Deliberate Women Team and all of you, our DW readers!

It's a Prayer Challenge!

I {Mandy} am not so great at praying. I don't get up early, I have a hard time knowing WHAT to pray, and I get distracted easily.

But here it is...for 2015, select a length of time:

1 month or 1 week.

Now, pray for God to reveal to you who to pray for.

Whoever you feel led to pray for, pray for them every single day for the entire length of time you've chosen.

Pray specifically for them: for their salvation, for their heart to be softened to hear God speak, for their health, for their marriage (if applicable) for their children (if applicable), for their ministry, for healing, for their finances, etc. Ask God to reveal opportunities for you to minister to them. Be specific. Ask God what to pray for as well.

Pray that God would open your eyes to see this person the way God sees them.

Are you in a conflict with someone? Is there someone you don't get along with? Choose them to pray about! It's amazing how much bitterness and stress about someone can be erased when we start bringing that person before God in prayer.

Go so far as to get down on your knees if you feel led. Give this some time...5 solid minutes or more. Praying out loud is also an amazing way to communicate with God. It allows all of the Heavenlies to hear you.

Don't tell anyone! Keep it a secret from everyone, including who you are praying for. Let what you are doing be done in secret (along the lines of Matthew 6:3).

As an added bonus: send them a card in the mail, even include scripture you may be praying for them. Keep it anonymous if you can.

Imagine...at the end of the year, you could (in theory) have interceded on behalf of 12-52 people. You could have lifted them up before the Lord.

How amazing to think that someone could be praying for us on our behalf, and we wouldn't even know it!

Let's throw ourselves before the Throne on someone else's behalf! How could we, our relationships, and our communities be changed by having planned, deliberate, consistent conversation with the Lord every single day? Let's find out!

An Added Challenge: Keep a prayer journal! Keep track of who you pray for each week/month and write follow-ups to your prayers. Have a prayer answered? Write it down! What a great way to see how God is working!
