Prayer Walk Guide

Prayer Walk

One of the most loving things you can do for your neighbor is pray over them.

Walk your neighborhood (alone or with a friend or your Disciple Group) and ask God for repentance, renewal, radical devotion and revival.

01 / Start here

What is prayer walking?

“Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses.”

Joshua 1:3

God promised Joshua the ground under his feet. We can walk the victory of Jesus into every part of our neighborhoods and cities.

Gather your Disciple Group, your family or a friend and walk your neighborhood, praying over the houses you pass. When you meet someone, ask what you can pray for.

02 / How should I pray?

Five types of prayer

Use these five as you walk. Shape them around the places you pass and the people you meet.

  1. Praise. Telling God how great He is

  2. Thanksgiving. Thanking God for what He does and gives

  3. Lament. Talking to God about what feels hard, hurtful or wrong

  4. Confession. Telling the truth about your sin

  5. Request. Asking God for something

Tips for prayers of repentance

Spend time in silence before God. Take three deep, slow breaths. Close your eyes if that helps. Rest your whole self in Him, knowing you are as safe as a newborn with its mother, and let Him show you what needs to change.

Radical Devotion

Tips for prayers of devotion

Choose a passage that speaks to you and start your prayer there. Ask God to help you understand it or live it. Pray for the people and situations in it. The Lord’s Prayer, one phrase at a time, is a good place to start (Matt. 6:9-13).
