Six People You Meet In A Prayer Circle
Jon (of prodigaljohn.com and 97secondswithgod.com fame) brings us the genius of Stuff Christians Like.
Genius? Yes. Original? Meh, not so much. Heck, Jon even admitted to this.
Whatever the case, it is a hoot just like #159 of what Christians like, the “pray if you feel led” prayer, where he breaks down the 6 people you are going to meet in a prayer circle:
1. The Almost-er
2. The Gun Slinger
3. The Opener
4. The Rambler
5. The Cave In
6. The Closer (touching a bit on the The Encore-ist)
Bonus: The Shot Blocker
I have gone into group prayer with no clear opener or closer. It is some of the craziest toe-stepping you have ever seen. In the last grouped I prayed in, we even had a Encore-ist. But alas, no Shot Blocker.
With all that said, I still love praying in groups even with all of these people you might meet. Some will pray boldly, others quick and timidly. However, in being before the Lord with your heart exposed, you in turn exposed your heart to others and thus, the love between your brothers and sisters grows even stronger
That said, I just figured out why two people dating should never pray together. Hmm.

it took me years to pray in a group. I remember the first time i finally did there was a shot blocker in the mix. DANG! but i recovered…after a couple more years….
I cannot even remember the last time somebody did a Shot Block. If it happens, I hope I don’t have a giggle fit
