They were praying for courage, for deliverance, and for faith. It was a pretty good prayer list. I find that when my own personal well has run dry, that prayer is the place that I have to start. Prayer is the beginning point for re-inventing the church. I know that I've said this before, but prayer isn't just about asking .
Prayer is also about imagining .
Prayer is intimate conversating with God, where God enters our imagination. God knows the things that we're worried about. And in that conversation of prayer, God opens up new possibilities in our imagination. As we try to figure out what the church could be like, I'd like us to ask how we can bring prayer into a more central and active place in our lives. I think that we all pray.
