It goes without saying that praying for your retreat is paramount<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your speaker, your team, and your attendees will likely confront spiritual opposition during the weeks and days before your retreat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer is our greatest weapon, but we sometimes forget how to use it.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I am knee deep in the trenches of retreat planning my creative juices sometimes dry up when it comes to praying for the retreat. I know I need to pray, but what should I pray?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should you encounter the same situation, I\u2019ve got some help for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many ways you can ensure prayer coverage for your retreat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Ways to Pray for Your Retreat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Enlist women to serve on a Retreat Prayer Team.<\/strong> That team may wish to meet regularly (1-2 a month or weekly) before the retreat to pray over all the details.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Host a Prayer Time for the retreat at your church.<\/strong> Invite all church members to participate and provide prayer prompts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Pray out loud during your Retreat Planning Team meetings.<\/strong> Set aside time for all of your team members to pray out loud too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Once registration has been completed, divide up the names of the attendees<\/strong> amongst your Retreat Prayer Team and\/or Retreat Planning Team and ask them to pray specifically for those women.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Distribute a Prayer Calendar<\/strong> to your team covering the 30 days before the retreat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    You may want to utilize all five prayer ideas for your retreat or just one or two. Do what\u2019s right for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Retreat Prayer Calendar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Years ago a dear friend on our Retreat Prayer Team created a Retreat Prayer Calendar<\/strong>. I hung her Prayer Calendar on my bathroom mirror. As I brushed my teeth each morning I would offer up the specific request for that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I created a similar Prayer Calendar<\/strong> for our team to use the next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I\u2019m happy to share it with you! You can tweak it for your own event or use it as is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Each day has a specific request and a scripture verse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
