Prayer Walking--Combining Exercise and Time with God for a Win-Win Activity

Experience the wind of the Holy Spirit
I needed to exercise and spend more time in prayer so I’m in week three of prayer walking in my small neighborhood on a little hill. I had no idea there were 450 homes and condo units until I began walking and being more observant. I am usually focused on my destination as I hurredly drive away. Too often I race out of the house with a quickie prayer: “I love you God. Please be with me.” Today, I spent time observing the power lines that cut through this edition. I actually heard the hum of electricity. I can’t see electricity, but I can feel it when I touch a hot wire. I see the results of electricity by flipping on a switch. Power, that waits in the power lines, surges forth with strength to light a dark room, heat a cold home, play special music, run a complicated computer, cook a delicious dinner, or wash dirty clothes. We are lost when power is disconnected. We depend on the switch connecting us, through the lines, to the source of power. We depend on electricity. Read the whole post with comments ...

Week 2 of 40 Days of Prayer for Super Bowl XLVI
Posted by Ruth on Thursday, December 29, 2011 at 1:28pm
Day 8 January 6, 2012 The “Fruit of the Spirit” will be displayed throughout the city. Isaiah 11:2 (NIV) The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. We must continually “breathe in” God’s grace by meditating on his word, praying to Him, thanking him for his mercy and enjoying the fellowship of other believers. As we are filled with his grace, we can then “breathe it out” to others by confessing our wrongs, bringing them hope through the gospel, and manifesting in our words and actions the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
