Prayer Meetings
What is Prayer?
Prayer is talking to God – it’s one of the ways we can know Him, by the help of His Holy Spirit. Prayer is praising God for what He’s done, with a sincere and joyful heart. It is confessing our sins to Him, surrendering ourselves – our wills, fears, worries, doubts, hopes, dreams to be made new by His grace. It is asking Him for His help in our daily lives – not for what we want – but for the things He wants for us. It’s a lot more too, but this paper is quite small!
We have an AMAZING God, who has allowed us to come to Him only because Jesus has made a way for us. When He died on the cross, the barrier between us and God was broken, and now we can meet with Him ourselves.
How does Prayer fit into CU?
When we pray as a CU (in Equip/PrayerMeetings/5:20), we pray for the things CU is concerned with – which are things we should all be concerned with!
CU has two main goals: 1) to reach out to the campus with the gospel, the way in which He has forgiven us totally from all our sins through His Son Jesus, and 2) to encourage CU members in maturity knowledge of God, in faith, love, and purity.We pray about these things together.
It also fits into CU in a way separate from the ‘official’ prayer meetings. CU is here to help you pray – to do all the things mentioned in the first section of this leaflet - so use it! Ask your questions, meet with friends, and talk things over, but above all things pray!!
When are Prayer Meetings?
