Creative Ideas Answered Prayer Jar: Keep an empty jar at the prayer meeting and every time a prayer is answered place something in the jar, such as a marble or something related to the prayer request. Overtime as the jar fills it will become a visual reminder that prayer does produce results and God answers prayer. Grab Bag Prayer: Divide the group into smaller groups and place prayer requests in a bag. Have each group pick a request and then have each group prayer over their picked request. If you don’t want to do prayer requests, I suggest focusing on the seven pillars that influence culture (concept created in 1975 by Bill Bright, Loren Cunningham, and Francis Schaeffer as areas that influence the culture and need Godly change). The seven pillars are arts and entertainment, business, education, family, government, media, and education. Prayer Walk: Pick an area in your city or area that is in need of prayer and Godly intervention. Have the prayer meeting meet in that area and then walk through the area interceding for it in prayer. Pray Scripture: Hebrews 4:12 states that the word of God is “powerful” and “sharper than any two-edged sword.” A very powerful and effective prayer is speaking God’s word when you pray. By praying scripture we come into agreement with what God is speaking. If you are praying about certain topics, such as healing, find scriptures where God talks about healing and pray that over your situation. If you are speaking prayers of thanksgiving start in Psalms. I suggest that even if you don’t set aside a segment to pray in scripture that you begin to incorporate it into your prayer as scripture is a powerful weapon God has provided us. Adopt a Missionary: This would be an opportunity for your group to prayerfully adopt a missionary by setting aside a time where you intercede on behalf of them. While adopting a missionary is most common you could also adopt an organization or country.
