Targeted Prayers

Praying specifically for needs of others (and ourselves) is very important. We don’t pray specifically to tell God what to do for us, but it helps keep us from praying lazy prayers that are too general and ineffective. Also, praying until we feel we’ve “hit the target” in heaven is important. Sometimes it takes praying for a specific need more than once to feel released from it. We need to pray until we’ve hit the target of God’s will.

Use a child’s bow and arrow or play darts to pray targeted prayers. Think of a specific prayer request for someone else. Then let the arrow fly as you pray the request out loud.
