Extraordinary prayer. An ordinary place to begin.
Make room
for prayer.
Gather a few people. Open the Scriptures. Ask God to move—from your neighborhood to the nations.
Start small. Start simple.
Decide on a prayer focus—your church, community, or a specific people group or place
Choose a quiet space in your home, workplace, or church
Set a recurring time—daily, weekly, or monthly
Invite friends and family who share your desire to pray
Here are some possible formats
Use Patterns Found in Scripture
The Psalms
Read a psalm slowly. Let its words shape your praise, honesty, and requests.
The Lord’s Prayer
Use Matthew 6:9–13: worship the Father, seek His kingdom and will, ask for daily needs, forgive, and seek His protection.
Paul’s prayers
Pray Ephesians 1:15–23 or 3:14–21, Philippians 1:9–11, or Colossians 1:9–12 over your community.
Pray Around the World
Use Prayer.Global to bring location-specific prompts, Scripture, and images into your room. Pray together on a screen or set up a self-guided prayer station.
Explore Prayer.GlobalFocus on a people or place
Join or start a prayer campaign with Prayer.Tools. Use available prayer content to give your room a shared focus—and keep praying between gatherings.
Explore Prayer.ToolsTry the Prayer Cycle
Zúme’s Prayer Cycle divides an hour into twelve five-minute segments, making space for praise, Scripture, listening, and praying for others. Offer the guide in your prayer room so people can follow it at their own pace, or invite your group to try it and share afterward.
