Six prayer points for your POWER PRAYER WALK:
Focus on praising God for who He is and all His goodness. Start by singing a song, quietly or in your head. Singing helps you focus on God and not be distracted by the surroundings. If you aren’t sure what song to sing, start with Jesus Loves Me. If you are a Spotify user, simply type in “prayer walk” and a number of pre-selected playlists will pop up.
