Prayerwalking TipsPrayerwalking was once defined as praying on site with insight. Whether you are prayerwalking inyour neighborhood, in Salt Lake City or in Romania or India, below are some tips to help you as yougo. Christian Women’s Center New Mercy Baptist Church Red Clay Ministries Rushton’s Hope GraceWorks Alaska (Anchorage) Gospel Hope Church (Decatur, Georgia) NAMB—Annie Armstrong Easter Offering Redemption Hill Church (Saratoga Springs, Utah) Seven Wells (Atlanta, Georgia) Hopegivers International (India) DeepStream Ministries (Guatemala) IMB—Lottie Moon Christmas Offering IMB AID Cluster (South Asia) Teofil Mihoc (Romania) Open Doors Operation Christmas Childwww.oakhillbaptist.org/missions-outreachPray for Direction – Prayer originates with God, so talk with Him about how to get started. “Call tome and I will answer you” (Jer. 33:3). Ask where He wants you to walk and pray. “Your ears will heara voice behind you saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it’” (Is. 30:21). Think of prayerwalking as a way toget to know God better by taking a walk with Him.Get Cleaned Up – Before you can pray for others, you need to be in right relationship with God. Allowthe Holy Spirit time to examine your heart, confess any known sin, and accept God’s forgiveness.Then you will be a clean vessel ready for God’s use in prayer. “Search me, O God, and know myheart” (Ps. 139:23-24). “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins andpurify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).Get Dressed – The object of a prayerwalk is not to draw attention to yourself. In addition to puttingon the armor of God as described in Ephesians 6:10-18, be sure to wear clothing that is appropriatefor the season, location, and culture, as well as comfortable walking shoes.Start Where You Are – Don’t worry about whether you’re doing everything exactly right, or whatother people may think of you. “Do not fear the reproach of men” (Isa. 51:7). Trust and lean on theHoly Spirit. “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness” (Ro. 8:26-27). Take a short walkaround your neighborhood and ask God to give you eyes to see your neighbors as He sees them. Praysilently for them as God gives you insight about them from what you see.Use Scripture – To keep your prayers biblical, spend time reading the Bible. Memorize God’s Word orcarry a few key verses on index cards to refer to as you pray. "So will My word be which goes forthfrom My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire" (Is. 55:11).Thank God that He loves your neighbors and pray that they would believe in Jesus – (John 3:16).Ask Him to bring them out of darkness (Col. 1:13-14). Pray for them to be released from whateverhinders their faith (2 Timothy 2:25-26). Allow God to teach you through Scripture to pray in the samecharacter as Jesus. Remember that “[God] is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine”(Eph. 3:20), so pray believing that He will answer.Involve Others – Invite a Christian co-worker to come to work early to walk by each desk and prayfor your fellow workers. Think about the places you’d like to prayerwalk and Christians you know inthat area who might walk and pray with you.

Jesustold the disciples in Luke 10 to pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborersinto his harvest. In Acts 4, the church prays for boldness, and in Acts 12, the church prays inunity for the release of Peter from prison.This year for our Sent Weekend, we are privileged to have Dr. Gordon Fort from theInternational Mission Board with us.
