Prayer Walks
Most activities are enhanced when motion is added to them. There is a heightened sense of awareness when the spiritual discipline of prayer is added with walking. Although there is no wrong way to prayer walk, there are things to keep in mind while you are engaged in the activity.
If used as Intercessory Prayer, focus is sharper when the people, places and things you pray for are in sight. If you have decided to pray for your neighbors, walking through your neighborhood while you pray will keep your neighbors on your minds. As meditation, focus is placed on taking each step. A short phrase may be repeated every few steps, such as, “Holy One, I will follow you.” or “Jesus Christ, help me walk in your footsteps.” As a practice of gratitude, one may just look around and be grateful that all God has created or has placed in your path this day. What do I see, hear, smell. |
