WHAT IS PRAYER WALKING? Prayer walking is a simple activity that does not require you to approach people or to know their specific needs. Through God's inspiration, you will discern certain areas that need your concentrated prayer. Your virtual on-site prayers will prepare resistant hearts to be open to spiritual growth and establishing God’s church in northeast Lincoln.


	PRAYER MATTERS You are part of an incredible movement. God has chosen to change the world through the church. You are part of God’s work to establish new churches in northeast Lincoln and Nebraska. This is God’s desire – He longs to build His church on the foundation of His son, Jesus. This is His work, done by His power, for His glory. Thankfully, He has chosen to involve us in the process. It is important to remember that God's power is unleashed through our prayers. It is prayer that ultimately brings the power of God into this process, transforming lives, establishing the church, and bringing lasting change to our community. When prayer touches the fuse of God's power, amazing things can happen! Prayer is the simplest form of communication that we have with God. It is during times of reflection and quietness that we hear Him speaking to our hearts and renewing us in His presence. Prayer is a special time of praising God, confessing our sins, expressing our own needs to Him, and asking Him to establish His Kingdom in the world. Ask God to give us eyes to see this community as He sees it. Ask Him to break our hearts for those who are hurting, lonely, confused, discouraged, exhausted, fearful, angry, ill, homeless and lost. Pray that He will show us where He is at work in the lives of people. Ask for wisdom for how we can bring the hope of Jesus into these areas. Pray that God will draw people to Himself. Pray that He will build His church. Pray that God will send a wave of spiritual growth across Lincoln and Nebraska. Your prayers matter during this incredible time. Perhaps the activity of prayer walking is new to you. You can define this activity as "praying on-site with insight." On-site praying is simply praying in the very places where you expect God to answer your prayers. Please use this prayer walking experience as a deliberate and planned time of focused prayer. Ask God to "open your eyes spiritually" to let you see His plans through His eyes.

SUGGESTED SCRIPTURES

Don't forget to use Scripture to guide your prayers. You can be confident of praying the will of God when you pray the Word of God. Here are some verses that will help you pray, beginning with a Psalm of personal commitment and confession. If you want to use other passages, just bring a small Bible along on your virtual trip.

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
Matthew 9:35 – 38 (NIV)

When he [Jesus] had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. "Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them. "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them. John 13:12 – 17 (NIV)

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:14 - 16 (NIV)
