Christian Prayer Chains

The first recorded mention of a Christian prayer chain was in 1 Corinthians 16:15-16 (NIV): “I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in their way that they may be caught. I tell you again, if anyone causes division,” Jesus said, “it would be better for him if he had not been born than to do what he does.”

What is the chain of prayer?

The chain of prayer is a spiritual practice where individuals join together in a sequential order to pray for a specific intention or cause. It involves a continuous flow of prayers, as one person completes their prayer, they pass the responsibility to the next person in line. This chain symbolizes the interconnectedness of believers, as they unite their hearts, minds, and spirits to uplift one another and present their requests to God.

Example prayer: “Dear Heavenly Father, we pray for Sarah, who is facing a challenging health issue. May your healing touch be upon her, bringing comfort and restoration. We ask that you strengthen her body, mind, and spirit during this time of difficulty. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

May his prayers help us recover what has been misplaced or stolen, granting peace and consolation to those affected. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.”

To start a prayer chain, you need to find at least three people who want to join. Each person should write down his/her name and contact information on a piece of paper. Then, place the papers inside a plastic bag. When you get together, everyone takes turns pulling out a paper and reading it aloud.
