This African proverb conveys the essence and importance of action in addition to prayers beyond just praying ourselves out of adversity. Another trend of prayer walking is becoming more common. Many have adopted walking as a means to health. Adding prayer to the walk brings surprising benefits over time, including greater awareness of our natural world and the needs of others. Growing in our capacity for self reflection is one of the unique opportunities we have as humanity to become more complete and competent. Tuning out the noise of life, emptying ones mind, and unburdening our heart bring resilience and wisdom.
