Visual Prayer Walking

As you prayerwalk, journey, etc. in your world keep the following tips in mind: • As you walk, keep your eyes open and be observant. Ask God to let you see through His eyes and pray His agenda for people. • Pray Bible verses and use scripture as a base for strategic Pray aloud as much as possible. Verbalizing your prayers helps you to focus on the object of prayer. • Allow the Holy Spirit to lead your prayers. Pray for what you see and what you don’t see—especially for the people behind the doors of homes. • Pray together. Take turns praying short prayers about a certain subject or area of focus. Pray conversationally, as if you were talking to the Lord together. Use each other’s prayers to prompt your prayers. • Walk slowly to allow adequate time to observe and to cover the community in prayer. The key is intercession for people. • Claim God’s love and compassion for the people and ask God to remove their spiritual blinders and tear down all barriers that hinder belief in Jesus. • Be careful not to stop and pray too often. Sometimes it is helpful to stop momentarily to pray for various homes of apartments that are close together. Be sensitive to the situation but try to keep moving if possible. If you do stop and pray it is best not to do things that draw attention to your team. Keep the focus on intercession to the Father on behalf of people. • Be alert to how the Holy Spirit may be leading. Sometimes you may need to speak to someone along the way. Watch for open doors to witness. Also, be alert for opportunities to pray for people’s spiritual, physical, and other needs. • Picture taking is fine at appropriate locations and times. Be sensitive to those opportunities. Remember, the primary reason you are prayerwalking—to pray. • Wear appropriate clothing. Coats, ties, dress clothes and dress shoes are hardly appropriate for most prayerwalks. Wear comfortable clothing relevant to contextual surroundings. • If you are on an extended prayerwalk, take water bottles. Also, protect your skin from the sun by using sunscreen products. • Be sure to carry contact information relating to the ministries of the local church you are representing. Opportunities usually arise for sharing this information with others as you are in the community.

The only thing I have to add there is that it's better to wear a hat than sunscreen :)
