I will be listing something to pray for each week during Lent but in-between, pray for the Lord to use you and me as we go about our life where HE has placed us for this season.
Here are five areas you can focus on this next 40 days that are real issues in Montgomery. I listed them last time but here they are as a reminder. You can copy/paste and print this list out to remind yourself to pray.
Crime-Praying for wisdom for our public safety folks as they protect. Pray for encounters with the Living God for those who commit crime. Remember: crime is a symptom of a sick heart.
Poverty-Praying for provision, for insight, for direction for those who are impoverished. Praying for those of us who have our needs met to be more generous. Praying for our "system" to stop enabling people to be imprisoned by poverty.
Race-Living a life where we see ALL people through God's eyes and treat them with love, kindness and mercy. ALL people are God's creations but we tend to not treat those who are different from us the way we would like to be treated.
Schools-Lord have mercy on our school systems in the area. Praying for wisdom, for creativity, for politics to get out of the way of education and for administration to stop fighting and work together for the good of the kids!
Consumer Religion-BIG in Montgomery! Praying for Christians to step up and start giving out of sacrifice not abundance. Praying for Christians to get out of self and start worshiping the Lord and not the programs! Praying for Christians(all of us)to stop picking and choosing what "easy" verses we will live by and ignoring the hard ones!
