Praying for our City – March 3

This month we are praying for our city.

When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting. By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down (Proverbs 11:10-11).

All across this country and around the world, Christians are being awakened to the growing sinfulness found within our culture. Pray that we will not lose hope, but will unite in prayer, trusting God to push back the darkness and bring renewal and revival.

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:6).

Praying for City March 2

This month we praying for our city.

When [Jesus] approached Jerusalem, He 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 the Spirit of Christ will free those in your city whose eyes have been blinded by the darkness of sin. Pray that they will be able to clearly see the light of the gospel and be saved.

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (2 Corinthians 4:4 NIV).

praying over our city

This month we are going to be praying for our city.

When [Jesus] approached Jerusalem, He 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).

When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting. By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down (Proverbs 11:10-11).

When you think about the individuals and families in our city who are missing a relationship with Jesus, do you ever weep over their spiritual condition? Pray that we, as individuals, as OCC and as the church in Orillia, will have the same kind of loving heart Jesus does for those living around us.
