An Invitation to Intimacy & Intercession

 Growing in PRAYER can be an exciting adventure when we say YES to the invitation of abiding in Christ and growing in prayer.   The most important thing we can do for our spiritual life is to have a daily personal prayer life.  A prayer life that goes beyond our personal petitions and devotions and moves us toward a personal relationship with God.  A prayer life that is rooted in scripture and bears the fruit of intercessory prayer.

For some of us, having an active prayer life, talking with God and offering prayers of intercession is as easy as breathing … it happens almost effortlessly.  For others, we find ourselves easily distracted by the busyness of life and we need a little more instruction, inspiration and structure to help us make the commitment to prayer.  

• Do you desire a refreshed or deeper prayer life?
• Do you yearn for more of God? To remain connected to Him?
• Do you have a desire to pray more effectively for loved ones, but find yourself at loss for words?

If so, plan to join us!   We will discuss the importance of personal prayer and how it differs from the ‘work of prayer’.  Together we will experience praying with scripture using the Lectio Divina method, and we’ll discuss how journaling prayer and praying with scripture can become the pathway toward intimacy with God and a powerful way to intercede for family and friends.  No matter where you are on your journey of faith and prayer, this retreat will encourage spiritual growth and new prayer practices using God’s Word.

Presentation Topics (For a 4 hour retreat)

• Importance of Daily Prayer and Growing in Intimacy With God
• Praying With Scripture Lectio Divina Explained and Experienced
• Journaling Prayer / Choosing a Word for the Year
• Healing Prayer –Praying With Scripture to Intercede For Family & Friends

Growing in intimacy with God and living a life of prayer and intercession is the focus of this interactive retreat experience.   We’ll be using the Sacred Intercession Prayer Journal throughout the retreat as together we experience the power of praying God’s Word through Lectio Divina and Healing Prayer.   Learn how combining faith, life and prayer through journaling can not only enrich your prayer life, but also your relationship with God.  I’ll share my own personal tips on how to make the most of your journal.    All attendees will receive one Sacred Intercession Prayer Journal to use and take home with them.
