[GT Navs] 24 hour prayer chain!

Hello everyone!

aI'm looking forward to seeing you all in the next week or so! :)
You should get an email later today from Chelsea about events we have coming up and such.  If you're impatient, most things that have been planned are on the website (www.gtnavs.org)

For now, I have a message for you from Erin...

Hey Everyone!

 

I hope you're all having wonderful summers and I am very excited to see all of you again soon! Also, I'm really pumped about having us all together in one place again for some awesome fellowship!

 

I am writing because we are going to start a 24-hour prayer chain (where we all pray in one hour shifts) on the first day of classes! We can plan, set goals, hope for good grades, and try to influence people but if we don't invite the Lord into our plans we are bound to be exhausted and frustrated. Let's start off this school year unified together as gt navs, beseeching the Lord and asking for His grace, His strength, and His Spirit to reign through our lives. The Lord has given us so much; so let's sacrifice this hour of our time to be with Him.

 

Here's how it works. We're going to pray in hour increments so a different person prays every hour, and by the end of the day we, as a ministry, will have prayed for 24 hours non-stop! You sign up by going Here and putting your name next to the hour that you would like to spend in prayer during the first day of school (so don't plan to do it while you're in class), once you type in your name, make sure you save the document (very important). Then during that time on Monday, August 23^rd, pray during that hour. You can do this wherever you want that is quiet: in your room, outside, your hall lounge, wherever (but probably not in your bed!). And it sounds silly, but some of the best times to pray are really early in the morning, there's something special about being alone with God when everyone else is asleep.

Now some of you are like "Whoa Erin! An hour is a long time to pray! That's like two episodes of Degrassi! Or over half a soccer game!" An hour can seem like an intimidating amount of time to spend in prayer, but if it is broken down into increments then it's not as scary sounding. I have attached two suggested formats of spending an hour in prayer that will lead you through things to do or things to specifically pray for that will make your time with God flow more easily. Certainly you can break your time down however you want, but if you would like some guidance these should help! I encourage you to try it out, even if it makes you nervous, nobody grows if they're comfortable!

 

Don't put off signing up or you'll forget! Do it right now while you're thinking about it. It takes two seconds and then you're guaranteed some wonderful fellowship time with the Lord before we dive head on back into school!

This is going to be awesome but we have to be in this together!

 

I love you all and miss your smiling faces!

You're sister,

Erin
