This month we are praying for our city.
When he approached Jerusalem, Jesus saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes” (Luke 19:41-42 NASB).
Pray that our city would experience renewal and spiritual awakening. Pray that the kind of heart that moved Jesus to weep over Jerusalem will be found in us as we make a renewed commitment to pray for our cities.
And work for the peace and prosperity of the city where I sent you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, for its welfare will determine your welfare. (Jeremiah 29:7).

When he approached Jerusalem, Jesus saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes” (Luke 19:41-42 NASB).
Pray that followers of Jesus in our city will unite in praying for those who are in authority over them and consequently will be blessed of God by being able to experience quiet and peaceful lives
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
In some traditions, the week from Palm Sunday (28 March) to Easter Sunday (4 April) is known as Holy Week.

When he approached Jerusalem, Jesus saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes” (Luke 19:41-42 NASB).
In Matthew 5:14, Jesus taught that His followers will be “the light of the world” and that “a city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” Pray that the life and light of Jesus will shine through the lives of Christians in our city and that many will see Him and be saved.

When he approached Jerusalem, Jesus saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes” (Luke 19:41-42 NASB).
Pray that churches in our city will demonstrate genuine repentance in response to personal and corporate sin. Pray that submission to the lordship of Christ will become the norm.
As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us. For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. (2 Corinthians 7:9-10).

When he approached Jerusalem, Jesus saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes” (Luke 19:41-42 NASB).
Pray that Christians in our city will be filled with a desire to know and meditate on God’s Word.
I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word. (Psalm 119:15-16).
