Prayer walking for an hour... or even just 15 minutes... can seem hard sometimes. Even just praying for one minute in your room can be distracting. It’s really taught me to just focus on the Lord and not just going about my day as I pass these places, these people, these temples, and the shops, the schools... all these cars and motorbikes.
All these people that I pass that don’t know Christ.
But through the power of prayer, things can happen!
We pray for safety, protection, softened hearts & so much more. As we’re walking around the temples, it’s very bleak and there are so many monks living in there that have dedicated their lives to serving Buddha. Buddha, who isn’t the true God, who doesn’t even hear them.
The Lord really puts so much into perspective and breaks your heart for these people. As we walk by spirit houses, seeing how people really serve the spirits, giving them offerings, how that dictates their lives.
Once again... so saddening and such a need for them to hear.
So, as I go about now, and that as I pray, I can really focus on the need for the Holy Spirit to move in this country, in these people. Praying for more workers to come... for the believers here to be steadfast, faithful to share, and have opportunities to be discipled.
How about you take a walk around your schools or neighborhood or churches and pray for them? Pray for the people that don’t know Christ. Pray for the believers to have boldness to share.
Pray for other countries. Pray for people who have never once heard of Christ, who will die and never hear about him unless people go and share. It starts with prayer!
