A group of local church leaders from around NYC gathered at Gallery Church this morning to pray….the long lost art of young aspiring Christian leaders. For a long while I’ve wanted to sit and join in on something like this. I did and it was great! The only regret was not having my wife there with me.
I was surrounded by older seasoned leaders who were transparent enough to say, “we don’t know much but here’s what we do know…”. From a young guy like me, that was refreshing. As I shared some request that I wanted to bring before Jesus they were very careful to listen and eager to share wise insight. This time of corporate prayer was refreshing on a number of levels. Here are some of the things I took away:
• I was strengthened in the faith and encouraged to share my faith…Philemon 4-6; Romans 1:9-12
• I confessed area of weakness and sin, serving as a relief and reminder of God’s faithfulness…1 John 1:9; Psalm 32:1,3-5
Get up! Get it in prayer with the rest of the body. If you’re not a christian but know of some, ask them to pray for you. You’ll be amazed by Jesus.
