Pray for Your Street

 

Prayer walking can be a confusing activity to get started. Here are some ideas to get you thinking! You don’t have to do all of these, pick and choose what fits your area the best! Also, don’t be afraid to be interrupted. If you’re out walking and praying, and see someone else that’s also outside, don’t be afraid to have a conversation with them. If you’re feeling up to it, pray for them on the spot!

  • Ideally, find a friend or two to walk with you or prayer walk as a family.

  • As you walk, say silent prayers.

  • You don’t need to carry a Bible or make a show of what you’re doing.

  • Simply spend time in prayer, becoming more aware of those around you and ask for God’s blessings upon them.

  • Maybe you know the specific prayer needs of a neighbor, but more likely you won’t know the specifics. Simply be open to the lead of the Holy Spirit and pray.

  • Select a scripture for the walk and bring it with you. Say and pray that scripture as you walk.

  • If you see a bench in the front yard, pray for those who will sit upon it.

  • If you see bicycles, pray for the safety of their riders.

  • Pray that the members of the household may know Christ and may come to know trust and rely on his guidance for their lives.

  • Pray for health and safety.

  • Pray for the raising of children and grandchildren
