I signed up for an hour because I felt I ‘should,’ I came wondering what on earth I’d do to fill the time, then when i looked at the clock I only had 5 mins left!
It would be true to say that you can’t really explain a 24-7 prayer room, it needs to be experienced. Every so often here at SIMC we transform the Small Meeting Room and put up a sign up sheet for people to commit to come and pray there for 1 hour, round the clock, day and night, 24-7.
Incredible sense of peace here. Good time of re-focussing life. Came in feeling tired and left refreshed.
In the room there’s things to do, read, paint, write, listen to. It’s a space to just be, to pray, to reflect, to find God in our busy world. Lives get changed in a 24-7 prayer room, people move on with God, people search deeper within themselves.
A time to reflect in the presence of the Lord. A wonderful experience. I felt like a sponge soaking up peace and meaning.
