BELIEVER'S - WATCHMEN PRAYERS AT THE GATES OF TIMES AND SEASONS!

[Ambassador Vanessa Ann]

PRAYER DIRECTION AT THE WATCHES 

The following is a sample prayer direction for praying at watches. Every time you 

come in prayer God will give you different direction and unction and scripture to 

pray through. There is no permanent pattern. However one important thing to 

note is that you should focus more on praying scripture into that gate. You do not 

have to make long prayers.  

 

General prayers to be prayed before the prayer point for the watch .  

Pray for say 20 - 30 minutes over the gate of time i.e. starting at least 10-15 

minutes before the hour and then 10 -15 minutes after the hour. 

• Worship and praise God, read aloud and proclaim Psalm 148 

commanding everything in creation to praise God in your life, work , family 

and your community and nation  

• Bring personal repentance and on behalf of family, ministry workplace 

nation etc Psalms 51 Daniel 9.3-19 1 John 1.5 -10 and such like scripture. 

• Declare that everything about this season e.g. of summer, the 

fruitfulness, beauty and joy of life and happiness of this season the 

restiveness of the season will reflect in your life, family, work, ministry and 

nation. Pray prophetically that there will be a time of refreshing coming 

upon you in this season in your work, family ministry and nation.
