God is able

Seeking God together.

Prayer isn’t just something we do when we need an answer, it’s part of the life of our church. We believe in making space to seek God, listen to His voice, pray for one another and believe together.

We Pray Together

Prayer is at the heart of life at Glow. Throughout the week and on Sundays, there are different opportunities to pray, be prayed for and seek God alongside others.

Before Every Sunday Service
Before our services begin, our teams gather to pray. We prepare our hearts, pray for everyone coming through the doors and ask God to move powerfully among us.

The Prayer Room
Every fortnight we gather at Glow for The Prayer Room — one hour set aside simply to seek God together. There’s no agenda to get through; we worship, pray, listen and make space for God.

Prayer After Every Service
You don’t have to carry things alone. At the end of every Sunday service, our Prayer Ministry Team is available to pray with you personally, whether you’re believing for breakthrough, facing something difficult or simply want someone to stand with you in prayer.

Join the Prayer Ministry Team
If you’re passionate about prayer and love standing with people in faith, you can join our Prayer Ministry Team. We’ll equip and support you to pray confidently and sensitively with others.

Prayer & Fasting

Making Space for God
Fasting is a biblical practice of intentionally setting something aside so we can give greater attention to God. It isn’t about earning God’s favour or proving how spiritual we are. It’s about creating space to pray, listen and refocus our hearts on Him. Jesus spoke about fasting as a normal part of following Him — “When you fast…” (Matthew 6:16). Throughout Scripture, people fasted when seeking God for direction, breakthrough, repentance and a deeper awareness of His presence.

How to Begin
Choose a period of time and decide what kind of fast is appropriate for you. You might fast completely from food for a short period, miss particular meals, or follow a selective fast such as the Daniel Fast. But don’t just remove something, replace it with something. Use the time you would normally spend eating to pray, read Scripture, worship, journal and intentionally seek God. Start with something realistic. Fasting is not a competition, and longer does not automatically mean more spiritual.

The Daniel Fast
One approach we often recommend is the Daniel Fast, inspired by Daniel’s decision to abstain from rich foods as he devoted himself to God (Daniel 1:8–16; 10:2–3).
It is generally a simple, plant-based fast centred around fruit, vegetables, whole grains, pulses, nuts, seeds and water, while avoiding meat, dairy, sweet foods, highly processed foods and alcohol. The food isn’t the point. The purpose is to simplify what we consume so we can give greater attention to God.

Fast With Wisdom
If you’re pregnant, nursing, taking medication, under medical care or have a health condition that could be affected by fasting, seek appropriate medical advice before undertaking a food-related fast. You can also choose another form of fasting that allows you to seek God without putting your health at risk.

Remember Why
Fasting without prayer is simply going without food. Let hunger become a reminder to pray. Let the interruption of your normal routine turn your attention towards God. And rather than focusing on what you’re giving up, focus on Who you’re pursuing.
 
“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” — James 4:8
