[Ep 156] How to Spend the Day in Prayer

In preparation for homeschool next year, I've been pre-reading some missionary biographies that we'll be using for our history curriculum. And in the one on Amy Carmichael, it shared several times when she would spend the day in prayer, seeking the Lord on one question or another. For example, should she build a house for the Bible study she led with the "shawlies"? Should she and her group of children move to this city or stay where they were? Was it time to build a nursery for the babies?  There are times when we might feel called to spend the day in prayer, too—seeking an answer for a specific question, like Amy Carmichael did, or interceding for a friend of ours, or even just wanting to be in God's presence in preparation for a difficult season ahead. But what does it really mean to spend the day of prayer? How do you go about it? Where do you go? What do you do? What does it look like? It is my hope to offer you some practical tips and suggestions today so that you, too, might spend a day in prayer with the Lord.
