PRAY FOR YOUR CITY
By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
Proverbs 11:11
As a child of God, you can pray for your city and bless your
city. You can effect changes in your city with your prayers. Don’t just sit and
watch things get out of hand in your city but pray and bless your city.
God can change things in your city. However, He is waiting
for you to pray. God will be moved when you are moved to pray. If you want God
to interfere in the affairs your city, then pray and bless your city.
If My people who are called by My name will humble
themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I
will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
If you will pray for your city, God will intervene. Your
prayers make the difference! Don’t focus on the negative things that are
happening in your city, don’t entertain them, don’t spread them. Focus on what
God can do and what God is doing in your city and magnify them.
I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD and the
praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has bestowed on us, and the
great goodness toward the house of Israel, which He has bestowed on them
according to His mercies, according to the multitude of His lovingkindnesses.
Isaiah 63:7
Mention only what God is doing and not what the enemy is
doing in your city. Keep praying for your city and speak well of your city. See
your city changing and see your city in a positive light. When you pray and
bless your city, it will change.
Your prayers are making a difference. Your prayers are not
in vain, don’t give up on prayer, but continue fervently in prayer for your
city until God does something. In every city you live in as a child of God, it
is your responsibility to pray for it.
…The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails
much.
James 5:16b
Thought of the day: As a child of God it is my
responsibility to pray for my city.
Prayer: Pray for your city and bless your city.
