Personal/Individual Concerns
The following are the most commonly asked questions (in regards to individual concerns).
What if I don't like praying aloud?
That's fine. Just be sure at least two members of your group are comfortable voicing everyone's prayers. With time, you will hopefully feel more at ease praying aloud. It will bless your friends to hear you pray for them!
How do I find friends to pray with?
This is a good question. And there are many different answers. Think about the following suggestions and begin asking:
- Close friends
- Work associates
- Church friends
- Neighbors
If you can find even one person interested, she may have other friends to ask. If, however, you can't find anyone, then we suggest you present the idea to a church or other organization and ask them to consider supporting a Prayer Sisters™ ministry. If you are lonely, chances are excellent other women in your area are, too. Prayer Sisters™ offers a great opportunity to find each other.
What if I have a hard time making friends?
No worries. Praying together has an amazing way of developing friendships.
Can I be an on-line Prayer Sister?
The main objective of Prayer Sisters™ is committing to pray for one another's needs on a regular basis. Since an important element of relationships includes getting together, on-line friendships are not optimum; however, praying on-line is better than not praying at all.
Do I have to include strangers in my group, or can my group consist of my existing friends?
We actually advise close friends to become Prayer Sisters™. If you have three to seven friends who desire to pray together as Prayer Sisters™, then you already have a group. Go for it. You will experience a deepening and strengthening within your relationships. If, however, you have only one or two other friends and would like your group to be larger, we recommend you consider opening your group to women who are looking for friends just like you!
