We have four prayer models that we are developing, practicing, constantly refining, and teaching to others. We've found that different models of prayer have increased our abililty to engage with God in many different settings.

This is a simple and well-known model where one person leads a small group in focused prayer. It's usually acoustic and can include worship songs at the discretion of the leader.

In the harp & bowl model, a team blends singing worship songs with praying scriptural prayers. It's more complicated to learn, but proven to fuel 24/7 prayer. This is the basic model used in the Kansas City IHOP, which has been praying night and day for over eight years.

This model uses written prayer liturgy for contemplative prayer and intercession. It can be used for individual or group prayer and can include worship songs at the discretion of the leader.

View or download the following prayer guides:

• Morning Prayer
• Midday Prayer
• Evening Prayeri
• Night Watch Prayer

The leader or individual has freedom to pray without having to adhere to one of the three other more structured models. Free-form examples currently seen at AHOP include:

• Pacing and praying out loud
• Singing worship songs, spontaneous worship & prayer
• Hymns and worship choruses, interspersed with prayer
• Silent prayer and/or meditative bible study
• Instrumental music
• Dance, visual arts
