In light of what the Word tells us in Ephesians 6:18, “praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints”, we want to begin holding scheduled prayer times each day at 1 pm and 6pm. We have been given permission to gather in the lobby of Winchester Medical Center for these times, using the main entrance where the chapel and gift shop are (use the green parking lot, go up the stairs to enter the lobby. We will meet toward the back of the main lobby). We have no expectations for this time, other than to seek the heart of God- there may be one person, there may be ten. 

For each prayer time, we are asking that the following things are covered: 

Begin with thanking God for anything that comes to mind. 

Some ideas: 

His character, His protection over Jessica’s life, His provision of community support, the provision of Believers as nurses who love Jesus…anything else that comes to mind.
