Prayer Pals 21 Day Challenge brings women of faith together with the purpose of praying for one another's needs three times a day for twenty-one days. As women unite in one mind and accord and begin to persistently pray for one another's needs, something powerful happens It is no longer a "you prayer" but an "us prayer." Prayer Pals 21 Day Challenge invites women to experience the closeness of sisterly love as they listen, encourage, and pray for one another's needs all while drawing closer to God.
Using the Prayer Pals 21 Day Challenge book, prayer pals will be engaged daily in scripture reading, reflection, and journaling, learning from one of the greatest prayer warriors in the bible-Daniel Prayer Pals 21 Day Challenge uses the following acrostic to describe the four essential principles of praying with a pal:
P represents persistence. Think about it like this. As you and your prayer come together to pray, your prayer needs are brought before God three times a day for twenty-one days
R represents routine (forming a relationship with God as you pray each day three times a day). Getting into a habit of praying even when you are tired, hopeless, or just too busy, praying with your pal will eventually become a natural part of your day, and you have gained a praying pal for life
A represents alliance, or having a partner to share your burdens and pray with you. There is power in numbers
Y represents your needs poured out to God. Things that have hindered you from growing, things that you gave up on praying about, or any other need-give them to God and pray persistently.
This challenge can be completed independently between two people or in conjunction with a Sunday school class, youth group, midweek Bible study group, or various women's groups.
