A few weeks ago, I helped my friends from re:generation church host the prayer space in Frances Bardsley School for Girls in the UK.  This was their third 24-7 Prayer Space in twelve months. I confess I'd been worrying that familiarity with the creative prayer space 'format' would mean that the students were less interested and less engaged... I needn't have worried.

We adapted a few of the prayer stations and tried out a couple of new ideas too, which was fun.  The Prayer Wall was as usual covered in all kinds of prayer on post-it notes. We were surprised at the number of 'RIP' messages on the Wall this time, many for family members.  My favourite prayer was this one...

During the reflection/feedback afterwards, it was amazing to hear a few students said that they "felt something" as they threw their 'sins' away... I responded by explaining that in one of John's letters, he says that God forgives and heals us of our sin, and that perhaps this is what they were experiencing?
