Prayer
What is praywhidbey?
What is praywhidbey?
We are an ecumenical group of Jesus lovers that live on Whidbey Island that feel called toward the cultivation of intentional and separate times of prayer. We aim to establish rhythms of prayer that make space for people from all churches, and combine with the people who don't have a church.
Starting with a once monthly 24 hour non-stop prayer session and weekly prayer gatherings to unite God's people across Whidbey Island. When God's people pray, we see the outworkings in our community and world, but also the inworkings of heartchange.
Prayer Room?
Prayer Room?
The prayer room is a picture of something going on all the time in the heart of every believer. It helps us maintain the flame of worship upon the altar of our lives. We leave the prayer room encouraged and enabled to keep on praying consciously and subconsciously through the trials of the day ahead. -PUNK MONK p.140

Disturb us, Lord
when we are too well pleased with ourselves,
when our dreams have come true
because we dreamed too little,
when we arrived safely
because we sailed too close to the shore.
Disturb us, Lord,
when with the abundance of things we possess,
we have lost our thirst for the waters of life;
having fallen in love with life,
we have ceased to dream of eternity,
and in our efforts to build a new earth,
we have allowed our vision of the new Heaven to dim.
Disturb us, Lord,
to dare more boldly,
to venture on wider seas
where storms will show Your mastery;
where losing sight of land,
we shall find the stars.
We ask You to push back
the horizons of our hopes,
and to push us into the future
in strength, courage, hope, and love.
This we ask in the name of our Captain,
who is Jesus Christ.
- OFTEN ATTRIBUTED TO SIR FRANCIS DRAKE (ENGLISH 16TH CENTURYY EXPLORER
"The laus perennis [Perpetual prayer] is about constant prayer on a number of levels. It is about personal prayer, Paul's call to 'pray continually' (1 Thessalonians 4:17). It is about intercessory prayer, about 'watchmen on your wall' called to 'never be silent day or night' (Isaiah 62:6). It is about answering the calling of Jesus to 'watch and pray' (Matthew 26:40-41). It is about imitating Christ, who would often withdraw to pray for the whole night (Luke 6:12). Continuous prayer is about a personal practice of the presence of God." -Punk Monk 140-141
