Prayer walking is a method of intercessory prayer that involves praying on location. Intercessory prayer is prayer on behalf of others. You can certainly engage in intercessory prayer at home, but being “on location” may help to focus and intensify your prayers. At Grace UMC we will combine intercessory prayer with walking to help promote personal health and fitness. Anyone can be a prayer walker. Prayer walking can be done anywhere, any time and at any pace. For safety reasons, we recommend that prayer walkers travel in groups of two or more and that they remain aware of their surroundings. Please be particularly careful when crossing Highway 6/Marengo Road. Although prayer walking can be done in any area, we have put together a suggested list of places in Tiffin to include on your walk. What do I pray about? Who do I pray for? You can pray for anyone along your walking routes and the groups of people or types of needs they represent. Each prayer walk typically includes a series of prayer locations where you may stop for prayer or simply focus on the needs those locations bring to mind as you walk by. You may always pray for the persons living and working along you walking route. A sample prayer route with fourteen stations is given here. We begin our prayer walk at the church, because our Christian faith is the foundation for our prayers. Suggestions for your prayers are included for each station.
