  Prayer

Prayer is at the heart of our relationship with the living God and is always included when we come together as a church family. We always seek to encourage each other in the discipline and joy of daily prayer.
Heartbeat Prayer Meeting - Thi
 My heart has heard you say, "Come and talk with me". And my hear responds, "Lord I am coming!" Psalm 27:8 This is about listening to God and praying to the tune of God's heartbeat. 
Heartbeat prayer meetings are on the 3rd or 4th Wednesday of each month at 7.30-8.45pm. The monthly prayer and praise sessions are a time to come together to pray - our prayer and our faith are more powerful when we're united. Our Leadership Team believe it is right to continue the practise of fasting on 'Heartbeat' days and would like to encourage the church family to join in fasting and praying, even if unable to join the meeting in person. We believe there is value in being united in this. Here's some useful information on fasting - not necessarily without food for a whole day, but fasting what God lays on your heart.

Praying through the church membership

Church members are contacted for prayer requests and individually prayed for, on rotation at Friday Prayer Meetings.
This week we will be praying for: Tim Colpus who is currently working for Samaritans Purse (American NGO). He is on a two year apprenticeship and is currently in the USA on a 4 month training course. Once that is completed, he will then have the opportunity to spend 6 months in each of 3 different locations around the world. These will be different countries where they have an office and carrying out some kind of humanitarian aid. More details of the apprenticeship can be found here https://www.samaritanspurse.org/our-ministry/apprentice-program/
 
58.12
Isaiah 58:12 - Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings 
58:12 is the church's development project. Read more about it here. Current prayer points:
• Pray for the Developer as they consider the design for the development in light of new regulations and market conditions
• Pray for the 58:12 Trustees, the Leadership Team, and others working on the project as they consider the next steps and options in the interim to provide the church with extra facilities 
• Continue to pray for the c.300 people who will be moving into the flats opposite in the next few months, that PBC will be a real blessing to them

Conversations with God

Prayer is a conversation with God and can be similar to our conversations with people. Your prayer may be a short cry for help or maybe a long outpouring of hurt and pain. It could be some words of thanks or perhaps ‘Hi, I am here, can I chat to you?’. Most of the time our prayers are whatever is on our hearts and in our minds.
 
Prayer is about honesty and vulnerability, it is not about eloquent words or about saying the right things. God loves to hear from us and to talk to us, he is always listening and he always understands how we feel. Prayer is a real privilege. Could you ever imagine that the creator of the universe would want to listen and talk to you? Well he does, so why not give it a try! Reading a prayer written by others can often helpful. For example, 'the Lord's Prayer' that taught his disciples.
Lots of materials are available to help make the most of prayer. Our digital and book recommendations are HERE
