About the 72 Hour Prayer Event

Dear Family in Christ,

I want to ensure I clarify certain misconceptions about the 72 hour prayer event:

First, the event is not about any one person praying for 72 uninterrupted hours. This is how it works - a person commits to praying for half an hour, an hour or for as many hours as he/she feels lead to sign up for. That's all. You are only responsible for the time slot(s) you signed up for.

Second, you do not need to pray alone. We encourage you to bring family and/or friends to join you in prayer during the time you've selected. Choose this time to pray for healing, discernment, wisdom, resolution, power, grace, calming of anxieties, answers, direction - you name it. Pray for others, for the world, for those seeking God and for those rejecting Him. Pray for your enemies and all the brokenness, needs on this planet. Pray for deliverance from the darkness. Pray for the Church.

Third, you can pray -

A. On your knees

B. Standing up

C. Writing a letter to God

D. Composing a poem or song lyrics

E. Singing songs

F. Playing an instrument

G. Listening to music

H. Meditating

I. Journaling

J. Through centering prayer

X. You can pray

Fourth, we need all of you to commit to making your appointment with God to pray at the Lighthouse Prayer Room. We do not hold to any theology or doctrine suggesting you can only pray from the Prayer Room. What we are saying, though, is that we are a society not willing to break from our comfort zone - not even for God. We challenge ourselves and others to intentionally drive, carpool - find some way to co-journey to the Lighthouse and pray. We are building an altar of living sacrifices (The Church) making a statement about our lives. We are joyfully choose to go to the House of the Lord and pray. We are intentional about sacrificing our time, gasoline, money, comfort and sleep, if need be, to join a community of fellow Christians in prayer for 72 hours. This is a protest against our manifold expressions of "Churcianity".

Fifth, pray about this event. Pray for discernment, protection, provision, direction and grace. Pray for all the planning, coordinating and preparations that go into this event. Pray for all prayer rooms across more that 75 countries & for the staff of 24/7 Prayer UK & USA.

Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information. Please keep this ministry in your constant prayers and know of my prayers for each of you -

Always In Christ,

Danny
