The
Prayer Circle
Written
by Claudia Rudolph
Summary:
We often feel in the spotlight when we pray publicly but God wants us to come
to Him without reservation. Our thoughts often interfere with our
prayers. Pre-recorded “thoughts” are interspersed with live action to
reveal what each person is thinking.
Characters :
Leader and 6 group members.
Script
(The
setting is a small group gathering at prayer time. The leader is standing and
members are seated in a semi-circle, listening to the leader. Each cast
member will show their emotions physically and expressively during prayer time.
The text in bold print are thoughts that have been pre-recorded and will be
played at that time.)
Leader:
Are there any more prayer requests or praises to share?
(Group members look at each other and shake their heads, “no”)
Leader: Then let's approach God's throne in prayer. We will start with Mandy (points to Mandy) and go around the room. Since we have a large group today, let's use this microphone so we all can hear. When you are finished praying, just pass the microphone to the next person. If you don't wish to pray out loud, just pass it on.
(Leader hands the microphone to Mandy, goes to the end of the row to sit down, and all bow their heads)
Mandy: Oh, no! I'm first. I have to think fast ….....Dear heavenly Father, I thank you that we can be here tonight and fellowship. Please be with those who can't be here, especially Donna Sue. I ask for healing on her behalf for her broken leg and comfort for her as she struggles with keeping up with her family and job. (acts relieved and passes microphone) Good! That went well.
2nd person: I was going to pray for Donna Sue! What was another request? Come on.... think, think, think! (acts nervous then remembers something)
Thank you God for giving Jane's husband that new job. Thank you for taking care of them between jobs and for providing for their needs. We praise you for your providence!
(passes the microphone but continues her thoughts)Dear God, please help me to remember to make a casserole to take to Donna's family.

3rd
person: (eager to receive the microphone) It is a real joy to come before
you tonight, Father! I have been blessed by the Bible Study and words cannot
express how much you mean to me. I want to lift up the Smith family tonight. I
know they love you and are your faithful servants.. Please hold them close....
let them feel the warmth of your love and your healing grace as they deal with
a very difficult situation. Please bless them as they seek your will in their
lives and praise you for their protection.
(passes
the microphone and resumes a prayerful position)
(4th
person has a look of panic)
4th person: Why did I have to sit by Ann? Her prayers are always so eloquent and now I have to follow her! The Smith's did have a bad house fire, though. (a really bad look of panic spreads across her face) Fire! Did I turn off the oven before I left? Wait, the kids are home. They will smell it and turn it off if I forgot. (an even more panicked look spreads over her face) What am I thinking? They are probably playing video games. They won't notice anything until the TV goes up in flames!Dear God, thank you for our families. We pray for your protection over them, wherever they are.
(passes the microphone to #5)
5th person: Dear God, you know I'm not comfortable praying out loud but I take comfort in approaching your throne in silence. Thank you for bringing me here tonight. Thank you for sending your Son to save me and give me a new life. I praise your name!
(passes the microphone to the leader; both smile at each other)

El círculo de oración
Escrito
por Claudia Rudolph
Resumen:
A menudo nos sentimos en el centro de atención cuando oramos públicamente, pero
Dios quiere que vengamos a Él sin reservas. Nuestros pensamientos
frecuentemente interfieren con nuestras oraciones. Pre-grabados
"pensamientos" se entremezclan con la acción en vivo para revelar lo
que cada persona está pensando.
Personajes:
Líder y 6 miembros del grupo.
Guión
(El
escenario es un grupo pequeño que se reúne en el momento de la oración El líder
está de pie y los miembros están sentados en un semicírculo, escuchando al
líder Cada miembro del reparto mostrará sus emociones físicamente y
expresivamente durante el tiempo de oración. Son pensamientos que han sido
pregrabados y que se tocarán en ese momento.)
Líder:
¿Hay más peticiones de oración o alabanzas para compartir?
(Los miembros del grupo se miran y sacuden la cabeza, "no")
Líder: Entonces vamos a acercarnos al trono de Dios en oración. Empezaremos con Mandy (señala a Mandy)
y recorreremos la habitación. Puesto que tenemos un grupo grande hoy, utilicemos este micrófono para que
todos podamos escucharlo. Cuando termines de orar, pasa el micrófono a la siguiente persona. Si usted no
desea orar en voz alta, simplemente pasarlo.
(Líder entrega el micrófono a Mandy, va al final de la fila para sentarse, y todos inclinan sus cabezas)
Mandy: ¡Oh, no! Soy el primero. Tengo que pensar rápido ... ..... Querido Padre celestial, te agradezco que podamos
estar aquí esta noche y compañerismo. Por favor estés con aquellos que no pueden estar aquí, especialmente Donna Sue.
Le pido curación en su nombre por su pierna rota y la comodidad para ella como ella lucha con mantenerse al día con su familia y trabajo.
(Actúa aliviado y pasa el micrófono) ¡Bien! Eso salió bien.
2ª persona: ¡Yo iba a orar por Donna Sue! ¿Qué otra petición? Vamos ... piensa, piensa, piensa! (Actúa nervioso entonces recuerda algo)
Gracias a Dios por darle el nuevo trabajo al marido de Jane. Gracias por cuidar de ellos entre trabajos y por cubrir sus necesidades.
¡Te alabamos por tu providencia!
(Pasa el micrófono, pero continúa sus pensamientos) Dios mío, por favor, ayúdame a recordar a hacer una cazuela para llevar a la familia de Donna.
3ª persona: (ansiosa por recibir el micrófono) ¡Es una
verdadera alegría venir a tu lado esta noche, Padre! He sido bendecido por el
Estudio Bíblico y las palabras no pueden expresar lo mucho que significas para
mí. Quiero levantar a la familia Smith esta noche. Sé que te aman y son tus
tu amor y tu gracia curativa cuando tratan una situación muy difícil. Por
fieles siervos. Por favor, manténlos cerca ... deja que sientan la calidez de
protección. (Pasa el micrófono y reanuda una posición de oración) (4ª persona
favor, bendícalos mientras buscan tu voluntad en sus vidas y te alaban por su
oraciones son siempre tan elocuentes y ahora tengo que seguirla! Sin embargo,
tiene un aspecto de pánico) 4ª persona: ¿Por qué tuve que sentarme por Ann? Sus
Espera, los niños están en casa. Lo olerán y lo apagarán si lo olvidé. (Una

se extiende a través de su cara) ¡Fuego! ¿Apagué el horno antes de irme?

mirada aún más pánico se extiende sobre su cara) ¿Qué estoy pensando?
Probablemente están jugando videojuegos. ¡Ellos no notarán nada hasta que el
por su protección sobre ellos, dondequiera que estén.
(Pasa el micrófono al # 5)

consuelo al acercarme a tu trono en silencio. Gracias por traerme aquí esta noche. Gracias
por enviar a tu Hijo para salvarme y darme una nueva vida. ¡Elogio tu nombre!

Te pedimos perdón y misericordia. Por favor escuche nuestras peticiones y ayúdenos a tener
paciencia para esperar su respuesta. Sabemos que usted está en control de nuestras vidas y
confiamos en que usted nos escucha siempre. Amén.

pero todos uno en el Espíritu. Gracias por estas señoras y su disposición a servirle. Levanto todas
las peticiones de oración, alabanzas y palabras no pronunciadas.

que se haga tu voluntad ... Amén.
