Speaker: Josue Hernandez , AYP Prayer Room Leader
Can you share a specific moment when prayer made a difference in your life?
Josue Hernandez : Prayer for me started at GYC a couple of years ago. And I remember hearing all the different prayers and all the different um requests going up to God. And it showed me not only how God listens to every little prayer and big prayer, but just how powerful He is. And that just started a whole journey of prayer for me.
How has being part of the AYP prayer room community impacted your spiritual journey?
Josue Hernandez : Being part of the AYP prayer room has been life changing for me. Not only can I draw out different life experiences and wisdoms and apply them to my own struggles. But also there's a certain amount of accountability um that goes into it and being in communion daily with God and with others who are also going to God. It creates a fire for Him.
Can you recall a time when you witnessed a powerful answer to prayer within this prayer room?
Josue Hernandez : There have been so many times when people have joined prayer with silent and heavy hearts, um and others unknowingly give the answer that they needed. There's also been times when we play, prayed the big and heavy prayers. Um but it's encouraging to see how even those get answered.
How have your experiences in this prayer room strengthened your faith or deepened your relationship with God?
Josue Hernandez : Being part of the Prayer Room has led to so much spiritual growth. Um not only have I learned how to pray, but learned how to pray deeper prayers. Um Overall, every time I join, and the more I participate, the closer I am to God and the deeper my relationship is with Him.
What encouragement or advice would you give to someone who may be struggling in their prayer life or faith journey?
Josue Hernandez : I would say to give God a chance and be intentional about it. The beautiful thing about prayer is that God is always ready and willing to hear us even when we seem far away from Him. Another thing is to join a group like ours um where you can grow alongside others towards Christ. Um because strength and um faith will come from it.
