What walls need to be broken?

This morning I'm praying about the next message. Usually I work on a 3 week cycle that overlaps: 1 week prep (thinking, praying, studying the passage), 1 week writing, 1 week editing and practicing. The retreat kinda threw off my cycle. So, I started reading and thinking about the next passage yesterday - I only have 2 weeks to work on this message on Jericho and Rahab.
I kinda wanted to get into studying the passage, but got convicted that the prayer part is important and I shouldn't skip that.

So I sat in my garden this morning, anxious to get the prayer part out of the way and get to the "real" work (haha) of Bible study. I was thinking about walls (like in Jericho) and breaking down walls, and kept getting distracted by things in the garden, but sometimes those distractions are the things God uses to direct my prayer time. I kept noticing how many spiderwebs there are that I have never seen before - the clinging ashes made visible what used to be invisible. Hmm . . . what walls are invisible? Walls between people? Walls around people? Yesterday Bob came to our shepherds meeting and led us in writing an encouraging word for someone. God brought that to mind, and I thought about having everyone write an encouraging word during the service. (I know a lot of you hate that, when I make you do something!)

So then I came in and checked the blog and read Bob's post (below) and in the first sentence he writes about going "outside the church walls" (there's that word, walls) and that piques my interest. And then he writes all about overcoming fear and giving an encouraging word. Is that confirmation or something? I will continue to be praying as I study.
