Prayer

Here at Renewal we want to encourage you towards effective prayer. So often prayer is a last resort but we want to make it the first thing we do in every situation.

“For this reason I kneel before the Father,  from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.  I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” – Ephesians 3 (NIV)

Do we need a prayer room?

Many people comment that they feel the presence of God when they enter a prayer room, we are using ‘The Chapel’ at Renewal Solihull for this space. By having this space you can focus on God’s presence without worldly distractions and allow the Holy Spirit to surround you.

If you have phones, please make sure they are on silent to respect others – thank you!

Where else can I pray?

Before any day begins, before you go to bed. Before you go to work or school, be at home or out in your neighbourhood. Before you send that text, WhatsApp, Tweet or post any image. Before you eat, drive or travel. When bad things happen, before bad things happen. After the day is over, after we have received that news, after we are made aware of someone else’s life event. In every situation it’s prayer time!

You can pray on the move or in stillness, at home in a favourite place or at the same time every day. You can pray morning, noon or night – whatever works, it is your prayer time. The most important thing is that we set a period and try and keep to it!
