This morning I just felt in my heart to get of at the train station before my usual destination, and pray as I walked from there.
As I walked away from Sunnyvale train station on this cold morning, the clouds were starting to display a range of warm orange and red reflections of a spectaculaer sunrise.
This is the first time I walked in this neighbourhood. and I started off praying for direction of what to pray for. As I persisted I got some clear direction, and I started praying for this area, for "personal choices".
I felt to pray for personal choices that are made each day, those choices which shape people's lives, their living conditions, lifestyles, health and physical and spiritual well-being.
Lord Jesus,
I pray that the area where I walked, be filled with
good, honest, reliable and considered choices.
that there will be consideration for
those who will be affected by the choices,
Lord, I ask that the choices which would involve children
and how they are raised, be good choices.
Lord I pray that in times of temptation,
honourable choces will be made -
even when it seems that the honourable choice
may bring hard times.
And when those honourable choices do bring hard times,
Lord I pray that You will honour those choices and
give them outcome from their troubles..
I pray over Sunnyvale this:
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
Psalm 91:9-16 (KJV)
Lord and above all I pray that the people of Sunnyvale will choose
. . . Y O U . . .
Yes Lord I pray that there will be an increased preaching and teaching of Your word
and that people of Sunnyvale will become increasingly aware of You.
And that this will be in a new beginning
of a time of Your presence in the lives
of the people of Sunnyvale
and that from this will follow true worship
Lord let it be sunrise to a new day in YOU
in Sunnyvale
In Your name we ask this,, Lord Jesus
amen
True stories from prayer-walks and pilgrimages where the dust of the road meets the grace of God. From the forgotten paths of the Karoo to the ruins of Ghana, these are testimonies of divine whispers, unexpected provision, and gentle encounters that remind us every step is a prayer and every journey is led by Him. Step by step, footprint by footprint.
