What is a Prayer walk?
Prayer walking is a type of intercessory prayer that involves walking to or near a particular place while praying. As you prayer walk, your prayers extend 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 are a means of asking God to give you a heart for your neighborhood, city and land. It gives you a concrete means of doing something for the well-being of your town as you ask the Holy Spirit to pray through you as you observe the world around you.
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. Your heart will be moved to pray for the things you see during the walk.
For example, you might come across a yard that is extremely untidy and rundown. This might prompt you to pray for the health, both physical and spiritual, of the residents inside.
Or, as you walk past a home you could ask God to bring the people who live there to know and love Him. Ask that their children and their descendants will all become believers.
If you walk around schools, you might want to pray for the teachers and the students, for their safety and peace, that they will al learn more about God, and for the schemes of the devil in their school to be thwarted.
You’ll think of many other things to pray for as you go! You might even let your neighbors let them 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 neighbrhood revival!
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18)
