Day of Prayer

Prayer is a powerful thing. A few of us have been meeting faithfully every Saturdays (we've skipped only four Saturdays...I think) to pray for our church, our city, our country and for NK. We've been doing a 31-week prayer for NK, just finishing out 28th week this past Saturday. Lots of exciting things have been happening and God has been doing amazing things...we're just privilged to be a part of what God is doing :) After that, I headed downtown to join a prayer walk for the city of Toronto. We had a route and took our prayer request papers and just walked around the city, praying and interceding. Funny thing...I didn't want to be there...It wasn't that I didn't want to pray, but I just didn't want to show that I was praying (hope you know what I mean). We were joined by a bunch of people and it just felt like a planned thing that when we finished doing our prayer walk, we were just going to pat ourself on the back and feel good about how "good" we are (I know...I'm so critical!). As I walked, I prayed to God asking him to give me His heart and for the Holy Spirit to intercede as to pray exactly as how He would want me to pray. Amazing thing happened! I started to really pray...not the things that I could think of, but things that I didn't really know of, but felt convicted to pray for...So cool! The prayer walk took nearly 3 hours, but it felt so much shorter than it really was :) 2 Chronicles 7:14
