It’s autumn and you can feel the crispness in the air,
so If you’re taking a walk i’s the perfect time to be alone
with God to do some PRAYER WALKING!
Prayer walking is a type of intercessory prayer that extends beyond your own concerns,
focusing directly on the needs of others and opening yourself to see them with God’s eyes and heart.
Prayer walks opens up your spirit to ask God to give you a heart for your neighborhood, your city,
our president and country. It gives you a concrete means of doing something for the well-being of
everyone while you ask the Holy Spirit to pray through you as your mind covers so many people,
concerns and observe the world around you.
A great example of the power of prayer walking was when the Israelites marched and prayed
seven days around the city of Jericho as well as Jesus’ trek through the desert for forty
days in preparation for beginning His ministry.
Before you head out for a prayer walk ask God to give you insight into what other’s
needs might be as you walk by their homes. Then just go for your normal walk and your heart
will be moved to pray for the things you see during the walk. Before you know it, the Holy Spirit
will prompt you to pray for people who may be tucked away in your memory bank that need your
prayers that day. You might even let your neighbors know you’ll be praying for them as you
walk by them and ask them if they have any prayer requests. Your prayers could be the beginning of a
neighborhood revival!
So Prayer Walk my friend for both your physical and spiritual health!
