Drive-Thru Prayers
Jude 20-25
20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. 22 And have mercy on some, who are doubting; 23 save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.
24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, 25 to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
If you drive down 6th Street in Lambert, Mississippi, on a Tuesday morning, you might see this sign in front of a local church: “Drive-Thru Prayer.” Several church members will be waiting outside for cars to pull up. “How can we pray for you today?” they ask. Both men and women have poured out their troubles and received prayer for their needs.1
It is wonderful to know we can pray on streets and sidewalks, in offices and factories, at our homes and with our families. It’s also vital to learn to withdraw to the Lord in solitude during our daily time with the Lord. We have the Holy Spirit to help us pray. Ephesians 6:18 tells us to be “praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.”
Believers in and followers of Jesus should also be vigilant in prayer. This means to be spiritually alert, looking out for spiritual danger in our lives and the lives of others. Have you missed a few days of prayer? God longs for your fellowship! Get back to God and back to vigilant prayer. Listen to Him through His Word…your Bible!
The very act of prayer is a blessing.

1Lindsey Williams, “Drive-Through Prayer Ministry Sparks Unexpected Prison Outreach,” The Baptist Record, February 9, 2026.
When you read the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, pay attention to Jesus and when He prays, where He prays, the focus of His prayers, the communion with His Father at all times. This is how to “pray without ceasing.” Living in intimacy with God will keep you in constant communication, praying, talking with God, listening for His will to direct, lead and guide your every step.
Prayer brough our family to Kentucky and is leading me into “prison ministry.” I never dreamed this, but God…
Heb 13:3
Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them,
We were all prisoners of sin and death before Christ set us free by His grace through His gift of faith to us.
Let us pray for all people, neighbor, stranger, friend, and enemy…that they might come to true faith in Jesus and receive eternal life and that they might not suffer eternal death, suffering torment in hell and the Lake of Fire, created for the angels that rebelled against God, instead, rejoicing forever in the love of God!
