But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep. “How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace…”- Luke 19:41-42

Check out all of the places prayer walks have taken place this summer! Record your prayer walk at table.org/count

1. Choose a Place
It can be around the track at a local school, a walk around your workplace building, a trail near your vacation spot, or your neighborhood.

2. Prepare

• Get informed about the area where you will be prayer walking. Research some of its history and ongoing problems so you can pray for breakthrough.

  For neighborhoods: blesseveryhome.com or the BLESS App. 

• Spend time in worship, if possible, before leaving. Read a Bible passage that connects you with God’s heart for the lost and the least. Pray to be guided by the Spirit and ask God to give you His heart for this place.

  Suggested passages: Ezekiel 37:1-14; Isaiah 61:1-3; Matthew 5:13-16, 28; Luke 10:1-12; 15:1-7; 19:1-10; 40-44, Acts 1:4-8

• Spend time in prayer, listening for any words or pictures that might direct your prayer – these can work like Holy Spirit “scavenger hunting” clues.

• Break up into pairs and go in different directions. Set a time to reconvene. (30 minutes is plenty of time)

3. Prayer Walk (or drive)

• Pray audibly as you are led but talk normally as though you are having a conversation.
• Listen as much as you talk. Let the Spirit reveal what God is up to here.
• Pray blessings “in” and spiritual opposition “out.”
• Get specific and pray for people and situations, especially “People of Peace” who God has brought into your life that are opening up opportunities for the Gospel in your community.

• Greet those that you see and be available to talk – don’t feel pressured to pray for them unless there is an obvious opening to do so. Maybe a new relationship will form!

4. Debrief

• Talk with your group or journal about what you sensed or heard on the walk. What might God be doing or inviting us into? What action might God be prompting to bring His kingdom to this place?
• Make “I will” statements and action steps.
• Make sure to Count your walk through the Prayer Walk tab on the Table Church App. You can upload a picture of the walk as we encourage our church family towards our goal!
