Guided Prayers for Afternoon WalksSample

Love:

The love of God is something that is so wonderful, and the implications are so far-reaching, that it can become the canvas to every brushstroke that is painted with your entire life.

I am loved.

I was created by a Creator who loves me.

Because of this, everything is now different.

Romans 8:37-39 “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Nothing. No matter how tall or intimidating or seemingly insurmountable—no—nothing can separate us from the love of God.

My past.

My failings.

My pain.

My brokenness.

There is nothing in this universe that can run interference to God's love toward you.

You are loved in a way that Romans tells us that even life and death cannot stop.

God loves you.

I'm Benjamin Windle. Would you pray with me? Take a moment to ground yourself. Take a deep breath. Center your mind on the presence of the Holy Spirit. God is with us. God sees. God cares. God knows.

Dear God, today we step into a posture of prayer. We rest in your love. We are aware of it. We feel it right now around our minds, around our lives.

It is so rich and vibrant that there are no barriers. There are no stop signs. There are no fences. There is literally nothing that can stop your love. Thank You, that You are for me. You care for me. You surround me.

Your love makes me secure and at peace with myself.

Please let me be a conduit of Your love to others.

We pray this together in Jesus' name. Amen.”

Today, let’s walk differently because we are loved. We can be confident. Secure. And whole. Because God’s love is for us.
