The title might suggest this is about the switchover a couple of weeks ago from Daylight Savings back to Standard time…. You know, Spring Forward, Fall Back.

Alas, no, this is just the suggestion to keep some good solid questions in your back pocket so that, if called upon to lead a prayer time with very little notice, you have a chance.

It is very simple to just say, “Let’s pray.” Then lead out.

Or you can ask everyone to share a request, and then pray for all the requests.

Or you can go around the circle, with each person sharing a request and the next person praying for the prior request and making one of their own.

Of you can ask a starter question so that people get their vocal chords warmed up prior to prayer:

• Tell a little about a passage of scripture you read recently
• How have you discovered God working in your life recently?
• What attribute of God is most real (or intriguing, or awesome, or precious) to you right now?
• Which is your favorite book of the Bible right now and why?
