Simon Says Week 7- Feb 22, 2026

This powerful message calls us to revolutionize our prayer lives by moving from passive intentions to bold, kingdom-shaking action. Drawing from 1 Peter 4:7, we're reminded that 'the end of all things is at hand' is a perspective that should transform how we approach prayer. The challenge isn't just to pray more, but to pray differently: with focus, urgency, and eternal significance. We're encouraged to remove distractions, keep prayer lists, and actually pray before promising to pray for others. The convicting truth? If God said yes to every prayer we've prayed in the last seven days, would the world be different or just our own little world? This isn't about finding parking spots or winning games—it's about touching heaven. The message includes practical tools like the Echo prayer app and a comprehensive prayer guide covering family, neighbors, churches, and mission partners. Perhaps most challenging is the call to pray out loud with others, starting with our spouses or close friends. Like taking that first terrifying step over the cliff edge while rappelling, we need to take that first step in vocal prayer—and discover the freedom that follows. The ultimate question: Will we move from the planning committee to the welcoming committee for Christ's return?
