Praying together
Several times each year, we intentionally make time to pray together at CrossPoint. Our 24/7 prayer experience is an opportunity to pursue the presence of God as a church family through 168 hours of continuous prayer. We encourage and invite you to step into this powerful time and join us as we practice the rhythm of being with God.
Pray September 6-13
Emphasis of prayer during this week:
VISION NIGHT: Pray for future vision and where God is leading CrossPoint as we continue helping people trust and fully follow Jesus.
REACH ONE MORE: Who in your life can you pray for who doesn’t yet know Jesus? Pray that the name of Jesus is carried into our towns, cities, and nations!

REACH ONE MORE: Who in your life can you pray for who doesn’t yet know Jesus? Pray that the name of Jesus is carried into our towns, cities, and nations!
Why Join?
Praying for these two themes is an investment in your own spiritual growth and for people who are spiritually lost to be found by Jesus and his grace.
Who Is Invited?
We are joining the greater Church in a global week of 24/7 Prayer! We invite our church family to spend an hour (out of the 168 total hours) praying for CrossPoint’s Vision Night and to reach one more with the gospel!

Praying for Vision Night
WAITING: “Wait” and focus your thoughts on God. It’s a silent surrender of the soul to God; a time of silent love. Think on God and God alone.
CONFESSION: Ask God to search your heart for unconfessed sin. Confess, repent, and receive God’s forgiveness.
LISTENING: Simply say, “Speak, God. I, your child, am listening for the sake of the church family to which you have called me.” Write down what God impresses on your mind as you quietly wait.
REFLECT: Read Romans 12v2. What are you holding back from God? What in your spiritual life needs to be transformed by God for the sake of others?
PETITION: Pray for CrossPoint to be a community helping people trust and fully follow Jesus. Pray that God would empower our church to make authentic disciples of Jesus. Pray that we would be a church filled with deep faith to fulfill God’s will for us. How is God asking you to be part of this vision?
PRACTICE: Ask God to continue to meet you as you pursue him and live into trusting and fully following Jesus.

Praying to Reach One More
PRAISE: Praise God for who he is. Thank him for saving you, and calling you out of darkness into his marvelous light (1 Peter 2v9).
WATCHING: Ask God to open your eyes to the people around you. Ask God to bring to mind someone in your life who is spiritually lost—or multiple people.
PRAYING SCRIPTURE: Read John 3v16-18. As you read, insert the name of the person who is far from God.
INTERCESSION: Intercede for God's work in and around your “one more.” Pray for an open heart and for divine encounters, and plead with God for the salvation of their soul.
MISSION: Pray for boldness to share the good news of Jesus with your one more. Pray Philippians 2v9-11.
PRACTICE: Ask the Holy Spirit to give you opportunities to reach one more in your life and for courage to step out in faith and obey by sharing your own story.

Prayer can be a powerful way to grow in your apprenticeship to Jesus.
May we pray for you?
We believe prayer can be and should be a normal, central part of life. Prayer is learning to have a conversation. It’s our primary means of communication with God and can be woven into the daily life of each person who follows Jesus—it’s not reserved just for the big, scary moments of life.
