OneVoice27 Prayer Vigil | Teach Us To Pray Script

ONEVOICE27 PRAYER VIGIL — TEACH US TO PRAY

On September 4, 2026, the South Pacific Division will be holding a  OneVoice27 Prayer Vigil.

Across the South Pacific Division and around the world, we will come together with one purpose: to seek God.

In Luke 11, the disciples came to Jesus with a simple but profound request: “Lord, teach us to pray.”

They had watched Jesus. They had seen that prayer was not simply something He added to His day. Prayer was at the heart of His relationship with His Father. Before important decisions, in moments of ministry, and even when He needed rest, Jesus made time to pray.

We want to make the disciples’ prayer our prayer:

Lord, teach us to pray.

Teach us to seek You before we make our plans.

Teach us to listen before we speak.

Teach us to depend on Your power rather than our own abilities.

Teach us to pray deeply, faithfully and expectantly.

As we begin this time of prayer, let’s remember that OneVoice27 is not simply a communications initiative. It is a spiritual mission.

In 2027, as we commemorate 2,000 years since the earthly ministry of Jesus, we want people everywhere to rediscover who Jesus is—the way He lived, the salvation He offers and the hope of His soon return.

But before we proclaim Jesus, we must spend time with Jesus.

So on September 4-6,
wherever you are joining from, quiet your heart for a moment.

Ask God to remove distractions.

Ask the Holy Spirit to lead this time.

And make this simple request your own:

“Lord, teach me to pray.”

Let us pray.

Prayer focus: Father, deepen our relationship with Jesus. Forgive us for the times prayer has become routine or secondary. Create within us a hunger for Your presence. Teach us to pray as Jesus prayed and make prayer the foundation of OneVoice27. Amen.
