You can see some of the events happening for the new students on the left, to give you an idea of things to pray for. To get you further inspiration I've written out a few simple pointers for effective prayer. Go for it!

A Guide to Prayer
Making the time and making the space
We can often feel we want to pray more but the busyness of life crowds in and we don’t seem to have the time. Jesus had the same challenge, he was often surrounded by crowds of people pressing in all around him. So he “dismissed the crowd” and went up onto a mountainside to pray (Matthew 14:22). We too have to ‘dismiss the crowd’ and consciously make time to pray.
It’s not a ‘holiness’ contest. We don’t have to pray for hours, unless we want to of course. The point of prayerweek is that we pray more than we would normally. In fact, if you don’t usually pray much, how about just five minutes a day?
How to Pray
There is no one right way to pray. We can:
- sit and chat
- kneel, bow down, and worship Him in reverent awe
- write down prayers
- light a candle as we pray to symbolise our hope for a situation
- walk around, calling out loudly the cries of our heart!
The possibilities are endless. So be creative and try experimenting this prayerweek.
