Prayer Walk ~ What do you notice?

Begin this prayer walk in your own yard.

Stop #1

Picture
  
Walk towards a place in your yard that is naturally beautiful. Is it a flower, a tree, or a bush? Stop and stand in silence and admire God’s creation. 

Pray for the beauty of this world. Pray that we notice it everyday and take care of it.


Stop #2

Picture
Walk to the center of your yard. Look up. Notice what you see. Imagine all the things you could see in the sky: rain, snow, the sun, birds, airplanes, and what else?
Look down. What is under your feet? Grass? Soil? Worms?

Say a prayer for all the amazing things that surround us everyday.



Stop #3

Picture
Walk around your block. Notice each house as you pass. Try to remember the names of the people who live there or something about them. Keep your conversation focused on your neighbors. 

When you get to each corner, say a prayer for all the houses and the people inside that you just passed. Ask yourself if there are any people that maybe would like to come to church with you. At each corner, pray that the people around your block know Jesus and the love of God.

Stop #4

Picture
Stop at the end of your driveway. Look at your house. What prayers do you want to pray for your own family? 

Let each person say a prayer for your family.

As you finish, go back inside and read Psalm 100. Listen for and notice God’s voice in your life.
Amen!
