Practicum Activation: Ministering to Another Person
This is where boldness becomes real.
Step 1: Ask the Holy Spirit to highlight one person. This can be someone you know or someone you encounter during your day.
Step 2: Approach them with humility and kindness. You can say:“Hey, can I pray for you?”
Step 3: Before you pray, quietly ask the Holy Spirit:“What is on Your heart for this person?”
Step 4: Begin praying out loud.
You can start simple:
“Father, I thank You for this person. I ask that You bless them, strengthen them, and guide them.”
Step 5: As you pray, listen.
The Holy Spirit may give you:
A wordA phraseA scriptureA feelingA direction to pray into
Speak what He gives you clearly and simply.
Step 6: Close in peace.
Do not force anything. Do not try to impress. Stay led, not pressured.
