A Prayer Partner is someone we ask to pray with and for us. The boundaries and parameters of this relationship are developed by the individual prayer partners and is confidential. It can be a one-time prayer occasion, an “as needed” conversation or partners can set up regular, ongoing prayer meetings via telephone or one-on-one in person.
Jesus encourages us to pray for and with others, not just on our own. A Prayer Partner helps us focus on listening to one another. A Prayer Partner helps us realize we are not alone; others are praying just as we are. A Prayer Partners’ primary commitment is to carefully listen to the other without expectation of resolution or advice.
At times we need someone else to pray on our behalf. We may not have the words to pray and need someone else to pray for us. Hearing our needs prayed by someone else can help to refocus our own prayers. Jesus taught that prayer is more powerful when prayed by more than just ourselves.
Discernment is listening to God through prayer to get an answer to a question, guidance on a decision, or to reclaim a sense of peace in troubled times. Discernment needs confirmation through others. It cannot be done in isolation.
We encourage you to reach out to one of our Prayer Partners at any time. Contact information for your Prayer Partners is below.
