Prayer walks are something that very few people do that I know of. I do one everyday when I go for my walk, usually praying for some one different everyday. IE. Monday for missionaries I personally know well, Tuesday for my dearest and closest friends, Wednesday for the ministry times coming up, Thursday for Heritage, Friday for family, Saturday and Sunday for whatever the Lord brings to mind.
Today I attended the Thursday night Bible Study which alternates weeks with the small group. For the last three Bible Studies it has been just English speakers. We don't know why this is happening, but we are thankful and praising God through it. The Lord knows that we need to hear English once in a while. I still pray that others will come again. After our time in the Word, we had some time for prayer. Then my mentor asked us if we were interested in going for a prayer walk. So we did this, we walked around a huge section...only 15 minute walk mind you. Then as we walked around apartment buildings we prayed a loud together. I loved it! I have never actually done this and never knew how powerful it could be. Wow is all I can say after that. Why do we as believers neglect this way of prayer for the people in our cities that we are in a sense ministering to?
hmmmm, good question. We should start doing it more....
