Soaking prayer is the act of entering into God’s presence for the purpose of forming a stronger relationship with Him. You are resting in the presence of God’s love and waiting to hear Him speak. When an individual rests expectantly in the Lord’s presence, the Holy Spirit will hover over the individual, repair, and renew areas in his or her life.  Soaking prayer is an ideal place from which to express their love of God. It is different from the prayer of petition, coming to God with one’s needs or intercession. Instrumental worship music is played to help with experiencing God’s Presence.
