Prayer Walk

Praying Onsite with Insight

We have given you three different categories of prayer walking.  The main thing in prayer walking is to have a visual of the person or place you are praying for.

Easy:
  1. You can open the yellow pages and pray over categories.
  2. You can do this at home via your computer by looking at web sites.
  3. Four of the 7 days have additional ideas.
Moderate:
1.  You can drive around the location
2.  Sitting “on site” in a waiting room or lobby.
Intense:
1.  May involve more driving
2.  Might involve speaking to someone

Choose an “easy,’ a moderate or an intense concept but choose something.  You can prayer drive from your car if necessary or you are more comfortable doing so. 

The following ideas are starter ideas only. We are certain that you have an abundance of creativity that will surpass what you will read below.
