Prayer is about creating a space for people to meet with God.  
​
​Doing this in a coffee shop is different to doing this in church
Listen to the person's prayer request
– but before praying about it, deliberately take time to create that space for them and God. 
Picture
​​Father,
Thank you for your great love for this person
They are your child
You care about them so much
Their concerns really matter to you
Picture
​Remind yourself and them that Jesus ​is present with you both now, ready and wanting to help

Lift their prayer request to him
Picture
Ask the Holy Spirit ​to bring his transforming power to this situation
Don't use too many words
Remember – it’s not up to you to come up with anything. 
Try to ensure that they leave feeling encouraged
