Praying for Just Looking



We'll beef up this page over the next few weeks, probably, but here are a few initial things to start praying for right now...

  • Your friends and other people's. If you come to Deeper, you'll hear a list of people whom OTW people are already praying for. There are a lot of people who don't know it yet, but they're right in the firing line for an invitation, and we're bending God's ear about them already! Add your friends to the number who are being prayed for, and pray for other people's friends at the same time!

 

  • That we get all the volunteers we need to do all the jobs God wants done. (He may not want interpretative dance performed by males in nighties, but you never know.) At the moment it's looking great - lots of you have already volunteered for lots of things. Let's pray that God will bring us together as just the right team in just the right places and do a fantastic job through us all.

 

  • For the way the evenings run. There are still lots of choices - what kind of food would go down best? Pizza every week? Blindfold consumption of prunes and spaghetti hoops? (Seems to be Jon's idea of haute cuisine.)  Which bits of the evening do we do all together, and which do we do in small groups? What happens if we have too many small groups and not enough leaders, or not enough people to split into groups? What if people have to leave early, or arrive halfway through? Let's pray for the logistical questions, because God already has the answers. (Though personally I doubt if any of His answers involve prunes.)

 

  • For one another. The Just Looking material has led literally thousands of teenagers (and adults too) into a lifelong relationship with Jesus. It can be trusted. And it's simple to use. But we're still going to feel tense and nervous, and it's possible we'll make a few mistakes. Let's pray for God's peace, for his power and reassurance, and for his wisdom in using just the right words and ideas to make it absolutely clear to our guests what God is saying to them. He wants to use us!
