What is praywhidbey?
PrayWhidbey is a group of people on Whidbey Island who love Jesus and believe in the power of prayer. We welcome everyone, whether you're part of a church or just curious, to join us in dedicated times of prayer and worship.
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.
The enemy's goal is to limit and narrow our thinking so that we can't see anything new but continue to tell ourselves why things cannot or will not work. We have an enemy who daily says to us 'here's why that's not going to work.' Plenty of other people will tell us the same thing.
When we pray, God tells us how things do work, and we need to be able to hear Him above the voices that tell us how things don't. Prayer is this place, up and out of ourselves, where nothing is impossible.
('Living Fearless' Jamie Winship, p.69)

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.

That’s why, when I heard of the solid trust you have in the Master Jesus and your outpouring of love to all the followers of Jesus, I couldn’t stop thanking God for you—every time I prayed, I’d think of you and give thanks. But I do more than thank. I ask—ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him—endless energy, boundless strength!
