Last week we had an associational prayer walking training. I loved hearing the stories of prayer walking in the area and what God has done! Last winter I went prayer walking several times, and took several kids with me. It was incredible to see what God was doing in the lives of the kids as they walked and what the kids prayed for.
Etta, 9, prayed for the people who poured the sidewalk, painted a fence or for a house, but would not pray for the kids whom she saw right in front of her.
Emma, 8, couldn't walk the whole way, but she walked as far as she could. When we first started prayer walking together, she was shy and was much more interested in the activity, but by the second walk, she was observing like everyone else.
Mason, 3, prayed for grass to grow in Nevada and for God to keep away the monsters.
Brycen, 13, wanted to pray for a friend in the neighborhood.
If the kids find those things to observe and pray about, what can you pray about in your own neighborhood? I would encourage you to go out and prayer walk your neighborhood, noticing things in the neighborhood and becoming aware of needs that you can pray about and possibly help meet.
