Praying on-sight with insight

Prayer walking is just what the name implies—walking while praying. For our purposes, prayer walking is focusing prayer on neighborhoods, homes, people, businesses, schools, etc., that we encounter while walking.

It helps us to focus our prayers and to pray specifically. We sharpen our prayers by concentrating on specific homes and families. We also fill our city streets with prayer. Why prayer walk? Because we are the only ones who are exclusively responsible—we are His body, His co-workers, His ambassadors, His friends.

Who is sponsoring this?
Several of the Cheyenne churches of various denominations are working together to light our streets with prayer.

Jesus tells us in Matthew 26:41 to watch and pray. Remember to use the eyes of your heart while praying and ask God to help you see the city with His eyes. He is able to show us what we need to see and what to pray.

Remember we walk with Jesus. Jesus said in Matthew 15:32, “I have compassion for these people.” He actually wept over Jerusalem. So, let’s be “one in heart” with Jesus as we draw near to the people He loves so much.

“I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before Me in the gap on behalf of the land.” —Ezekial 22:30

Let us join together and repair the breaches!
God has said that He is looking for the very ones who will cry out to Him on behalf of the people.

How do I sign up at my church?
Sign up your church to prayer walk certain streets. Mark them off when you have completed your prayer walk.

What if my church is not participating?

If you have talked with your pastor or prayer coordinator and they are not interested, you can sign up as an individual by calling Vanita Fowden at 632-6218.

Set aside as little as one hour to do a small section. Or, commit to one hour a week for the two months to pray over a large area. Start with a small section and sign up for more as you have time. With several churches involved, if everyone just does a little, we can accomplish a l a lot. We can prayer walk our entire city in the next two months.

While you can prayer walk by yourself, you may find it more enjoyable and encouraging to team up with a friend or family member. Take your children along and teach them how to pray for our city.

Pray for every building and person you walk by.
