Check Your Pulse Prayer Stations



Check Your Pulse Prayer Stations.

Our hearts beat on average 103,680 beats per day. But how often does our heart beat for God and the things God desires. Today, you are going to take check out spiritual pulse and connect with God. You and your group will go through 5 stations that walk through varies verses concerning our hearts. Before we begin, let us ask God to help us see our hearts the way he sees them.

Each group will go to a station, after 5 minutes each group will move to a new station. Each station will be numbered so you can easily move from station to station.

Station #1 – Count the beats

Have each person Read Romans 10: 1

At this station, each person needs to check their pulse. Let each person in the group use the stethoscope to listen to their heartbeat. Have each person clean the ear pieces with alcohol after they use them. After they have had little bit of time to listen to their heartbeat have them look at the clock and count how many times their heart beats in six seconds. Once they have that number have them think of that many students at their school that they can pray for. Once they have the names have them pray for them by name. If they don’t know that many people, have them ask God to show them people who need to know him.

Supplies needed: stethoscope, alcohol wipes signs, Bibles, station sign, and clock.

Maybe you haven’t softened your heart to his word, maybe you have heard his word but it has not taken root in your life.
