Learn to Pray

Here at Crossroads, we believe in the power of prayer. We are committed to the practice of prayer both individually and corporately. As a result, we see the hand of God moving in our lives, and in the lives of those around us. 

In 2023, our church went through a message series on prayer called Into the Deep. It covered the importance of prayer, how to pray, and other practical tips. This series will help you grow in the spiritual discipline of prayer.

Corporate Prayer Opportunities

Pre-Service Prayer

Monthly Prayer Meeting

Third Thursday of the Month at 9 AM

We gather for our Monthly Prayer Meeting from 9 AM to 10 AM in the Reach Center, located on the south side of the Family Room. Intentional time is spent praying for local, national, and global needs, as well as the personal needs of those who attend. The heart behind these gatherings is to provide a welcoming, non-intimidating space for anyone to come and pray, no matter where they are in their journey of faith.

Prayer360

Prayer360 is an opportunity for our church family to join together in around-the-clock prayer. Find weekly prayer prompts as we lift up our church, city, nation, and world to the Lord.

Prayer Wall

Dear Prayer Team, I am asking for prayers for my daughter, Genesis, who is struggling with alcohol addiction. She has developed severe pancreatitis, which has caused her a great deal of pain. She has been hospitalized for nearly two weeks and has admitted that she did not feel strong enough to stop drinking on her own. Today, she is scheduled to enter a rehabilitation facility, and I pray this will be the beginning of her healing and recovery. As her mother, this has been one of the hardest journeys I have faced. Thankfully, this past Saturday she accepted my support, and I was able to spend time with her, help her run errands, and take her to get her hair done. I cherish that time together. Please pray that God gives Genesis the strength, courage, and determination to overcome this addiction. Pray for complete healing of her body, especially her pancreas, and for restoration of her mind, heart, and spirit. Please also pray that she understands how deeply she is loved. We care for her unconditionally and want only the best for her. Pray that she will no longer push away those who are trying to help her and that she will be open to receiving the love, support, and guidance being offered to her. I have been praying constantly, and at times I feel discouraged, wondering if God hears my prayers. Please pray for me as well, that my faith remains strong, that I trust God’s timing, and that I find peace knowing He is working even when I cannot see it. Thank you for lifting Genesis and our family up in prayer. With gratitude,

I’m asking for prayers concerning my wife Betty. She’s currently in the hospital right now. She was admitted three days ago for internal bleeding. The bleeding has stopped but they can’t figure out why her blood levels keep dropping. I’m very worried about her. I need her to get better so she can come home. Thank you.

Please pray for me I’m thinking I’m going to have to say goodbye to one of my best friends. Ephesians 5 6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. He is encouraging me to continue living in sin for some reason he thinks we have a get out of jail free card because we believe that Jesus died for our sins. 😭 pretty much all of chapter 5 says to walk away.

It’s been well over a year since our family departed from Vancouver due to employment reasons. I just want to say thank you crossroads family for our time together and for the prayers over our family. We do listen to crossroads services from time to time still but have found a new church home down here where we’re beginning to get more planted in and serving. We enter yet another new season with many more blessings than we could have imagined with the move back to California. Not sure who remains back in the couve still but really just want to send a word of encouragement to keep praying. Thank you crossroads family. Our family left with lanterns filled with oil all thanks to your love and willingness to simply respond to Jesus. God bless and much love to you all, The Gatdulas Andrew, Giselle, Greyson, and Giandra

Please keep my husband in your prayers as he waits to hear back about a job he recently interviewed for—this is an opportunity he really wants. We’re praying that, if it’s the right opportunity for him, the door will open. And if it isn’t, we trust that God will lead him to an even better job and the right opportunity. We would really appreciate your prayers during this waiting season. 🙏❤️

Prayer for dear neighbors in their 80’s as the husband undergoes surgery Monday. His wife is struggling just to hold it together as her faith is challenged. May God reveal Himself to them by providing peace, calm and a restoration of faith.

Please pray for JM, MH who have abused their authority and stolen an inheritance trust gifted solely to me by my deceased family in AR. They live a double life, lying to the Courts all while stealing from vulnerable female senior citizens. Please pray, I’ve never seen anything so dark and evil in my whole life. Spiritual warfare.
