Thus the\u00a0Prayer Gathering is distinct from the Seminars on Prayer and the\u00a0Tasmanian Bible Forum on prayer. The Program Outline gives an indication of the progress of our prayer through the day. <\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>To pray is to change. Prayer is the central avenue God uses to transform us. If we are unwilling to change, we will abandon prayer as a noticeable characteristic of our lives. The more we pray, the more we come to heartbeat of God. Prayer starts the communication process between ourselves and God. All the options of life fall before us. At that point we will either forsake our prayer life and cease to grow, or we will pursue our prayer life and let Him change us.<br \/>\nRichard Foster<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>10.00\u00a0 Opening Prayer<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><\/strong>video: \u201cBe still\u201d (Worship House Media)<strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>10.05\u00a0 Greetings &amp; Overview of the Gathering <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>10:15\u00a0 Bishop\u2019s Reflection 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hosea 2:14; 2 Chronicles 7:14;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>video: \u201cThe Skinny on Prayer\u201d (Worship House Media)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>10:35 Shared Experiences of Prayer (forum)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>11:00\u00a0 Prayer Segment 1<em> <\/em><\/strong>(20 Minutes)<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A time of adoration, <em>Psalm 100 <\/em><strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Prayer Segment 2 <\/strong>(20 Minutes)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A time of confession, <em>Nehemiah 1:1-11; 1 John 1:5-2:2<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em><\/em><\/strong><strong>Prayer Segment 3<em> <\/em><\/strong>(20 minutes)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A time of thanksgiving, <em>I Chronicles 29:10-20<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em><\/em>video: \u201cHow you should pray\u201d (Worship House Media)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em><\/em><\/strong><strong>Prayer Segment 4<em> <\/em><\/strong>(20 Minutes)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A time of silence, <em>Luke 5:16<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>12:30 Lunch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1:00\u00a0 Bishop\u2019s Reflection 2\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Acts 12:1, 3-17; Philippians 1:3-11, A Blessing for Tasmania<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>1:20\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><strong>Prayer Segment 5<em> <\/em><\/strong>(15 Minutes)<strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pray for Youth &amp; Families<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>video: \u201cPsalm 139\u201d (Worship House Media)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Prayer Segment 6 <\/strong>(15 Minutes)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pray for Sectors of Society (education, media, judicial, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em><\/em><\/strong><strong>Prayer Segment 7<em> <\/em><\/strong>(15 minutes)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pray for Local &amp; National Government Leaders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Prayer Segment 8<em> <\/em><\/strong>(15 Minutes)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pray for the Church, Revival<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Prayer Segment 9 <\/strong>(15 Minutes)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open Prayer (Pray for reconciliation, healing and personal matters)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>2:40 Shared Experiences of Prayer (forum)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>3:30 Benediction\/Closing<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ephesians 3:20-21<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Come when you can, go when you must \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bishop\u2019s Prayer Gathering is being held at four locations around Tasmania over July and August 2011.
