Walk With me on Our Journey: A Beautiful night to prayer walk and to be in the presence of God.

Dear Family of Love,

It was a beautiful night to prayer walk ad be in the presence of the Living God and in God's Cathedral of Life. We have been back on our trail of pilgrimage and prayer for 5 days in a row. Yes, 5 days in a row.
Energy is returning so that we can have our special times outdoors and in the cool crisp air of the evening and seeing the most amazing vistas in the sky. God's hobby must be painting skies! He gifts us with these every day. I have missed these amazing vistas and feel energized by prayer walking outdoors. I feel much better prayer walking than praying in place and resting. Prayer walking gives me hope and energy to meet each of life's bumps and challenges every minute that I live, move, and be. As Summer approaches I encourage everyone to start prayer walking or just getting outdoors for some Vitamin D/ Deity. It will help your body, mind, and spirit find much needed balance, energy, and make you feel empowered and enlivened.

God we thank you for all that you created and made. May we be good stewards of your creation and practice conservation in honor and to your glory.

We pray for an end to animal cruelty everywhere and for humane treatment of all animals.

We pray for water conservation in all drought parched areas of our country and all places in your world. We pray for much needed rain that will help prevent wildfires.
