Adoration in small groups

Last night we had our adoration time in our i2i groups. We are moving some of our adoration times to our i2i groups for a more intimate time with the Lord. In the past, all we've ever done is adoration with a large group before we broke up into our i2i groups around the building.

Last night our i2i groups prayed slowly through the Lord's Prayer together while thinking about each of the words. I am excited to get feedback from my leaders on how it went.

9"This, then, is how you should pray:
" 'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
11Give us today our daily bread.
12Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.'

I mentioned that we could just stop with the first word of the prayer and think on it for a while. It's our prayer. It' not just mine. We are part of a community of people here and around the world praying together with one heart and one mind. Our desire is for them to start soaking in the words they know by heart and praying that the Spirit of God would open their eyes to the wonderful things in His word (Psalm 1119:18). I can't wait to implement more i2i adoration times next semester.
