Global Day of Prayer: 10 Days of Prayer at Highland Park Presbyterian Church

Global Day of Prayer at Highland Park Presbyterian Church

As millions of Christians unite in prayer during these days, we are not asking God to perpetuate the status quo. So many believers find their hope rising with anticipation for God to do great things. With this kind of hope, it’s time to pray great prayers.

Day 0, Introduction

Beginning on Ascension Day, Thursday, May 17th, and continuing until Saturday, May 26th, believers around the world will be organizing ways to pray together night and day. Inspired by the example of the first followers who “joined together constantly” in prayer (Acts 1:14), we expect that the ten days between the time of the ascent of Jesus and the descent of His Spirit will be filled with believers praying around the clock and across all time zones.

To help connect the HPPC community in this effort we’ve developed a ten-day email series featuring the elements of the 10-day prayer guide and prayers specific for HPPC. This series will begin tomorrow, May 17, and continue through May 26. Plan to join us as we unite with people around the world for this transformational effort. You won’t be praying alone.

It’s a time of surpassing some of the standard patterns of prayer. Millions of Christians will be praying together in extraordinary ways. Many are forming prayer chains to build bonfires of 24-hours-a-day prayer throughout the ten days. Others are finding ways to pray with others for short blasts of focused prayer. Some are fasting. Others are scheduling conference call prayer sessions. Look for how the Holy Spirit may be giving you fresh ways to call family and friends to pray.

2. Pray with different languages
This prayer guide is being translated into about fifty languages so that many millions of Christians the world over will be praying these prayers. See www.globaldayofprayer.com to find translations available in a number of other languages including Spanish.

3. Watch for ways God may guide you
As you pray for your community, God may impress you and others with specific ways that He can use you to become part of the answer to your prayers.
