It's exciting to drive by a church with a prayer room, see a car parked out front and know they are seeking God. It is important that churches set aside a place dedicated to the practice of praying. Prayer is learned more by doing than by reading about it. In our prayer room, young mothers bring their children when they pray. These children get to see prayer in action, and they are taught by example.
Prayer rooms are inclusive, meaning everybody can sign up to pray.
We find apostles, new Christians, women and men, and Jesus' relatives there. Prayer rooms provide a sense of awe where people of various spiritual levels can feel comfortable and not be intimidated. Prayer rooms give pastors a new source of hearing from God. As people come to sit quietly and pray, God speaks with Scriptures and visions that can be written down and passed on to church leadership, providing an extra opportunity for all to hear from God. Recently, a woman in our prayer room had a vision that confirmed the direction our church had begun to take.
