Family Prayer Walk

Last night our ship family did a "prayer walk" through the city of Koge. Prayer walking is prayer that is targeted for the place you are walking. The idea is to actually see what you are praying for rather than sitting at home with your eyes closed imagining it. Actually seeing your prayer target can also inspire you with the right way to pray so that your prayer will be the most effective. For example, as our ship family passed by the shops in the city square, we prayed for the shop owners, workers, and shoppers. As we walked by the train station, we prayed for the people traveling, the conductors, and the ticket booth workers.

If you have a hard time just sitting still in a room praying over a list of people or needs, you might really enjoy prayer walking. The expereince was really impactful and powerful for our ship family, so we'd encourage you to give it a go! Grab a friend or a family member (or even just by yourself!) and try prayer walking through your neighborhood, a local park, or a nearby school. We'd love to hear how it goes!
