We Believe in Prayer

As we are a dispersed, online community, one of the most powerful things we can do for one another is pray. Prayer is the heart of a Christians life, and here at House of Ancient Faith, we take prayer seriously. We offer live prayer sessions, prayer intake, and classes to learn about different prayer techniques and methods. We encourage you all, come and pray with us.

Ways to Pray

Structured

Fixed prayers give you a tested path when your mind is busy or your heart feels flat. They shape your words with Scripture and the Church’s wisdom, so you can rest in the rhythm and focus on God rather than inventing what to say. Examples include the Rosary, the Lord's Prayer, or other written forms of prayer.

Lectio Divina

You read a short passage slowly, notice a word or phrase that stands out, pray it back to God, and sit with it in quiet. It’s less about study notes and more about letting Scripture read you, moving from reading, to prayer, to simple rest in God’s presence.

Extemporaneous

Speak to God plainly about what’s really happening (gratitude, fears, needs, confession) like a child to a loving Father. Keep it honest and short; if you get stuck, return to a simple line such as “Lord, please help me with. . .”

Psalm

The Psalms give language for every season (joy, anger, grief, trust) so you never have to guess what to pray. Read one aloud, linger on a line that fits your day, and make its words your own before you move on.

Our Prayer Offerings

Every Monday: 7pm

Prayer Lab

Prayer Lab is a gentle, live practice space where we learn to pray without pressure or performance. Each session includes a psalm read aloud, two simple prayer practices you can use all week, and one takeaway card to guide your home rhythm. We keep the tone unhurried, Scripture-soaked, and accessible for beginners and longtime believers alike. Join live for interaction or watch the replay at your pace. You don’t need special materials, just a quiet spot and an honest heart.

Last Wednesday of the Month: 7pm

Peace & Discernment Night

Once a month we address spiritual struggles such as fear, accusation, intrusive thoughts, and temptation in a calm, biblical way. You’ll receive brief teaching, pray a psalm together, and leave with a plan for next steps. In these sessions, we address spiritual warfare. But more importantly, we focus on the Christ who has already overcome. Attend live for Q&A or catch the replay if you need time to process. Our aim is simple: steady peace in Christ, not hype.

Sundays: 6pm

Lord's Day Livestream

Gather with us online for Word and Table in a reverent, simple liturgy rooted in Scripture and the historic faith. We offer a short homily designed to meet you where you live. If you’re preparing Communion at home, we provide clear guidance and follow-up pastoral care as needed. Join live to pray with others, or watch later if your schedule is complex. Wherever you are, come receive Christ’s peace and strength for the week ahead.

Prayer Requests

If you're struggling or want the faithful to pray for you, you can contact us and submit your prayer request. You can reach out via email, Instagram, or Facebook messenger. If you want to speak to the pastor or learn more, email us at any time and we'd love to schedule a session to talk with you.

Prayer For Healing

Dear Jesus, right now I hurt and struggle. I trust that you are the great physician, the one who heals bodies as well as souls. I pray for your healing grace, for your love, and the strength to endure until I see you face to face.
