Prayer Hexagon

This framework guides us beyond our habitual prayers into prayers of adoration, confession, intercession, petition, guidance and warfare, all declaring our utter dependence on God. Don't rush this time! Labor in prayer for your non-believing friends, for the needs of your community/ church, etc.

 
 

NOTE: Pray through every category one at a time. After everyone has had a chance to pray the category, move on to the next. Have someone facilitate, using the brief recaps below to explain how the group should pray each category.

Brief Recap of Prayer Hexagon Categories:

  • The Father’s Character - Jesus shows us that we can interact with God in an intimate manner. He is approachable and close to us yet he is also set apart and worthy of all worship. Spend time worshipping God for who He is.

  • The Father’s Kingdom - Pray for God's Kingdom to advance on earth. Pray for your non-believing friends by name to come to faith.

  • The Father’s Provision- Make requests to God for any needs you or the group has. We can trust that He will provide for our needs.

  • The Father’s Forgiveness - Since you have spent time confessing specific sin already, spend this time reminding each other of the Gospel and the Father's forgiveness and love for sinners. There is nothing you have done or will do that separate you from Him because He has paid the debt for ALL sins, so follow Christ with everything you have! He's worth it!

  • The Father’s Guidance - Pray that God will guide us far from sin and temptation as we seek to His Kingdom in this world.

  • The Father’s Protection - Pray that God would protect us from spiritual warfare as we are doing His mission here on earth.
