The purpose of this prayer guide is to get to the core of what schemes the enemy often uses to try to “take out” our sent one. These may not be a constant threat, but they definitely are being used against our sent one at some point. If we as senders pray for our sent ones so that the enemy no longer uses these schemes against them; we believe that this would “free” them up for a more powerful ministry. It is hard to deflect the schemes of the enemy and advance (although by the grace of God- they are!). But how much easier the advance if there are not flaming arrows coming at you!?! Let us be the shields for our sent ones. This guide is meant to be used more than once. In the app, the 40 days automatically recycle so you can pray over them again. These are struggles that will continue to need to be fought against. The suggestion is to go through the guide once completely and then as you continue to pray for our sent one look at the table of contents below and ask the Lord which topic they really need prayer for right then. Or if you prefer, just keep going through it! Thank you for your partnership in the advancement of the gospel!

Welcome to the PrayerPocket app. The first Prayer coaching/guiding of its kind. We understand that prayer isn't as easy as it sounds. We get distracted, we don't have enough time, or we just simply don't know how to pray. This coaching series is designed to be adapted to your usual schedule By keeping you focus, passionate, biblically aligned, and motivated we believe that this audio series is the tool to getting spiritually matured. If it's your first time praying or you are a prayer worrier. This is designed to enhance your prayer life where ever you are. This is not the philosophy nor theology of prayer but the process of your prayer life. This series is not meant for you to listen to it once or twice but for you to practice it on daily basis. This is not a ritual nor a rehearse prayer but a variety of technique, so that you can pray your own personal prayer. The way it works is that we coach you pray, we coach and you pray, we keep on coaching and you keep on praying. I want you to think of it as a spiritual workout session. Similar to a work out session You have a coach or trainer guiding you through jumping jacks, sit-ups, and other forms of cardio activities. Spiritual coaching is the same. We guide you through scriptures, prayer techniques, quiet time, prayer intervals, meditation, and intercession. But instead of working with the body we are working with spirit, mind, heart, and soul. It's as easy as pressing play and Pray. You can play and pray in your car, in your house, at your church, your job, as you jog, or anywhere you can press play. As you grow in your prayer walk we encourage you to increase your time in prayer. We will be coaching you in prayer in increments ranging from 1 to 60 minutes. You will see that prayer is actually not that bad and time will fly when you are actually praying. As you navigate through the app you will notice a blue circle with a number in it. This number will tell you how many prayers are in that series. You will also notice a green box with a number in it. This number indicates how many minutes are in that session. There are 16 series in this version of the app. Each series hits a specific need. Some sessions are independent, other's sessions are building blocks designed to grow your prayer journey. If you are new to prayer, we encourage you to listen to the Series LEARNING HOW TO PRAY. This series will guide you step by step so that you can become a prayer warrior. Also, be out in the look-out for PrayerPocket Pro. This new version will have hundreds of new prayers, teachings, and tools to help your prayer journey. Remember to share this app specially to those who are new to the Christian journey. PrayerPocket is Simple, Practical, and Adaptable. We believe with our whole heart that this is the tool you need to grow in your spiritual journey. From our PrayerPocket Team We love you and God Bless.
