If you have never been on a “prayer walk,” it is simply talking with God while walking. It can be done alone or with other people. The Lord can work through these prayer times to not only prepare the hearts of those in your neighborhood but also to prepare your own heart for what He desires to do in and through you. You may see various things on your walk that prompt specific prayers. The Holy Spirit might bring concerns and Scriptures to mind that you can pray through as well. As you think about the gospel expanding in our city, and how God is working through the upcoming campus at Adams Mill, consider walking through your neighborhood and use these suggested topics as a guide:
Dear Lord, please help those of us who
will be a part of the Adams Mill campus to...
- See ways that You are at work around us*
- Walk in a continuing love relationship with You that is real and personal
- Become involved with You in Your work here
- Hear what You are saying through the Holy Spirit, the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and Your people
- Move forward with You in faith and obedience
- Make any adjustments necessary to join You in what You are doing
- Come to know You by experience as we obey You and You accomplish Your work through us
Note: The first seven bullet points are taken from "Experiencing God" by Henry & Richard Blackaby
