Small Groups are known for a lot of things, but their power of prayer is significant and powerful. It is a time we approach the God of the universe on his thrown and humbly ask for his guidance, provision, forgiveness and love at the same time offering up our praises. I've seen, heard and experienced God's movement not only in the groups I've attended, but also from the stories that leaders have told me of nothing short of miraculous movements that can only be explained as being super natural, without explanation, miraculous ... everything that is normal for God.
On this one particular evening, a small group gathered. The evening had gone as expected with no surprises. It had come to the point in the evening when prayers would be offered up. The group spoke about where they were asking for God's intervention and provision and then bowed their heads and closed their eyes. One by one they laid their petitions on the alter of God. Then it came the turn of one of the female members of the group. It was quiet as a small voice that was heard. Words accompanied by a melodious sound. A song of praise, a cry of need, a request of intervention, all accompanied by a sweet, flowing voice. This person was singing their prayer. Some people are intimidated by praying out loud, much less singing. This person found connection with God through her sonnet of love.
Of thee I sing...
May we have a heart that sing our prayers to God.
