Heart Health Prayer Session
WHAT: A Heart Health Prayer appointment is an individual, intimate conversation with God, guided by one or two experienced people who follow an established process under the leadership of the Holy Spirit. It involves addressing several topic areas, asking the Spirit of Christ to speak, listening, and then responding in light of God’s Word. Topics include beliefs about God and ourselves as well as possible obstacles to reconciled and healthy relationships with God and others. The intent is a shared prayer activity, not a counseling session.
WHY: The goal of Heart Health Prayer is restoring and cultivating intimacy with God because transformation of the heart affects every aspect of our relationship with God and others. Our strategy arises from the call to steward, guard, and manage our hearts as Proverbs 4:23 states: "above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it" (NIV).
Isaiah 61:1 describes our heavenly Father’s purpose in sending Jesus: to proclaim good news to the poor, bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom for the captives, and release from darkness for the prisoners.
This promised gift of inner healing changes our core beliefs, attitudes and actions - and the result is growing intimacy and fruitfulness in our relationship with Christ. Heart health prayer provides practice in developing a vibrant lifestyle of prayer that includes:
Listening to God's Voice
Renewing our Minds in Truth
Growing in Spiritual Discernment
Discovering our Identity and Purpose by Hearing God
Walking Closely with the Holy Spirit
Matthew 15:18-19 further underscores that our words, thoughts and actions spring from the heart. By tending our hearts in prayer, we come to experience the abundant life of Christ as we listen to the loving and wise voice of the Shepherd (John 10:10).
WHO: Every follower of Jesus can benefit from a Heart Health Prayer appointment:
New Follower - identify roadblocks that remain from your life before Jesus
