Prayer Walking

Last night I just wanted to get out of the house and enjoy the weather. At dusk, once the girls were in bed, I headed out. After a short walk in the neighborhood, I came back and started walking around our back lot. Part of the way around, I decided to start praying.

I prayed for anything that came to mind that would have far-reaching implications. I dedicated the land and prayed for blessings and a sense of having met with the Lord to all who would walk there.

When I finished my walk around the back lot, I felt so productive with this type of prayer that I continued. I prayed for the fruitfulness of the fruit trees and that our garden (which hasn't even been planted this year) could be used to bless others.

Then I headed on back to the house and circled it as I prayed for wisdom and self-control for those who would enter. I also asked for a cleansing in the hearts of us all.

I may not see immediate results, but I know God is faithful, and if these things will glorify Him, He will honor them. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to my next little prayer walk.

Have you prayed around your property lately?
