Praying Across Grand Junction

Thank you for committing to pray for people in Grand Junction to Find Christ. We are praying for every heart and every mile of our neighborhoods, focusing specifically on those who need a relationship with Jesus Christ.

We are asking Christians to pray now, at their homes, as you walk your neighborhood, and as we gather together in prayer groups. Here are some thoughts as you prepare to pray:

1. Pray with insight. Some people have defined prayerwalking as praying on-site with insight. While keeping your eyes open is important while prayerwalking, praying with insight is much more. Be aware of where you are praying. What do you see along the journey? Do you see children’s toys? Then pray for that family. Do you see a street lamp? Pray that people will discover the light of Christ and that believers will be a light to the world.

2. Pray with intentionality. While we should always be sensitive to how the Holy Spirit leads us to pray, now is the time to intentionally pray for those who need a personal relationship with Christ. Begin now to pray specifically for those in your community who need to hear the gospel.

3. Pray with the heart of an intercessor. An intercessor is someone who “stands in the gap”—a gap between one person and their need for God or for God to work in their life. As you pray, look for opportunities to pray specifically with people and for people’s needs.

4. Pray with information. Do you know who lives in your community?

·        How many single parents are there?

·        What kind of crime rate is in your community?

·        What unreached people groups are living in your town?

·        Learn and be open to learning about the “hidden” needs in your community.

5. Pray with inspiration.

·         Pray with Scripture verses.

·         Pray God’s promises. The way to pray the will of God is to pray the Word of God.

6. Pray for the impossible and expect God to answer!

·         Do we limit God and His ability to answer prayer?

·         Are you praying for those who are lost with faith that God can redeem anyone? Ephesians 3:20 and Hebrews 11:6
