We long to be deeply connected with someone and something. We live in such a times of individualism and deep loneliness and resignation and divorce. One of the most beautiful things about 24-7 prayer and all these other prayer movements is about restoring the connection. As this is why Jesus came on earth, to fix the connection that had been broken, connection between God and man and connection between men. Prayer rooms and our attempt to live true to our values (prayer, learning, hospitality, justice, creativity, community) -- they are all about restoring the connection. In the prayer rooms we have made space for people to sing, dance, paint, or just bow their heads down in silence, in solitude or together and in that way connect to God and to each other. I like it.

I have always wanted to participate in 24-7 prayer, though have never yet had the opportunity or been able to find anyone doing it around my locale.
It is so amazing how much difference adding regular prayer into your life can make.
Thank you for sharing, your words of wisdom are inspiring and heartfelt.
God Bless
