It is NOW 2014!! Are You Praying?

It is NOW 2014...a chance to start and make a commitment THIS YEAR to pray fervently for the Greater Montgomery area.....will you?

 

 
I'm reposting last week's post to remind us all to make that commitment to pray for our city and surrounding areas.....Happy New Year! Let's show this city/area how much we care. Because God cares....we must care if we are followers of Christ.
*************************************************************

Here are some things to pray for as we begin the new year. Feel free to add more in the comment section as you reflect on this new year and what God can and will do "if his people pray"!!!

Pray first that all Christians will have a RENEWED SENSE OF URGENCY to pray for this area. Greater Montgomery is changing day by day and not all of it is good.

PRAY FOR OURSELVES. That we will each renew our commitment to pray for the place the Lord has us for this time. God cares about our city so much and we should as well. Jeremiah 29:7 "Work to see that the city where I sent you... enjoys peace and prosperity. Pray to the Lord for it. For as it prospers you will prosper".

PRAY FOR OUR PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS-They will NEVER get ALL crime out of our city but they can surely work toward more civil-ness. Pray that each and every one of them will be renewed this year as they do their jobs and not get too cynical. Pray for those who do not know the Lord to come to the Lord this year. Pray for those who are Christians to have renewed minds(Romans 12:1-2) so that they can see the city they serve through God's eyes.

PRAY FOR CITIZENS of the Greater Montgomery area. Pray for healing, for turning away from sin, for provision, for good mental health, for support, for a church to call home and get support.

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCHES to be renewed in their commitment to serving all of Montgomery, not just the members of their churches. Pray for the Body of Christ to be set on fire to LOVE LOVE LOVE the people of our area. Pray that ALL of us will SHOW the love of Christ in ALL we do.

And this is for all of us...................

"Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land". II Chronicles 7:14
