God-Centered Experience Prayer on the Move

PRAYER on the MOVE

Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper. Jeremiah 29:7

We exist to lead our city into a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church!

For your last God-Centered Experience, Daniel family, you will be seeking the peace and prosperity of Laredo by taking a prayer drive together. We have listed prayer topics and assigned those topics to locations that fit that topic. Groups, you will choose to either Pray on the Move in the South or in the North. We also have included two more Central locations that are easy to add to the South or North routes. You will likely not have time for every stop, so prayerfully choose yours and map them out for whatever works for your group. You might wish to end at a restaurant or home for refreshments.

Prepare for this God-Centered Experience the week before. You can read the verses for each prayer prompt. Sit with them. Then use the words of the verses to pray. Listen to the Lord. Take note of any insight He shares with you for a particular stronghold/prompt to share with your group. During the week, you might fast from an activity to give you this time in the Word and prayer. You might also choose to fast from food on the day of your drive for a portion of your day.
