The Awakening Prayer Guide

How can we pray for Holy Spirit-inspired awakening?

These resources, crafted by our dedicated prayer team, invite you on a transformative journey of reflective, awakening prayer. This practice fosters a life lived thoughtfully alongside Jesus, free from the burdens of shame, guilt, or condemnation. Through intentional daily reflection, you'll awaken to God's presence and grace in remarkable ways, deepening your apprenticeship with Jesus Christ.

A renewed emphasis on prayer

For too long, prayer has been relegated to a secondary role, often neglected in the planning of important programmes and activities. This, in turn, has created a vulnerability in the spiritual realm. The underlying assumption was that God's presence would naturally accompany our acts of faith. However, a powerful awakening to the centrality of prayer is sweeping across the Church, both here in Britain and internationally. Every new church planting, outreach initiative, and programme is now being saturated in prayer – before, during, and after its execution.

At the forefront of life-changing prayer

The Elim movement has proudly stood at the forefront of promoting life-transforming prayer. Over the past decade, we've witnessed a surge in both momentum and intensity surrounding prayer. This emphasis resonates not only within Elim, but also in churches across the nation. The people of God are rising to the challenge of witnessing our nation transformed by the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.

Simple steps to deeper prayer

This concise guide offers practical pointers designed to empower individuals, groups, and entire churches to witness God's escalating power manifest through prayer and intercession.
