Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: “Because you have prayed to me …The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will accomplish this … For I will defend this city to save it, for My own sake and for the sake of My servant David” (Is. 37:21-22, 29, 32, 35).
People will pray about the warfare of world evangelization the way Hezekiah prayed when they are filled with the vision of God's inevitable triumph in world evangelization". John Piper
Could we be like Hezekiah and pray with fervor our city? Or in Jeremiah "Pray for the city to which I have sent you, for when it prospers in peace so will you". (Jeremiah 29:7)
This week is leading up to our National Day of Prayer. There are prayer gathering all over the USA. There are several going on in Montgomery. This is a great time to renew your commitment to pray for "the city to which God sent you" the Greater Montgomery area.
1. Pray for hearts to be changed not only in individuals who don't know Him but for those who are in leadership in our state. Alabama has gotten itself into a pickle right now and there are many who will suffer because of the choices of those in leadership.
2. Pray for those who call themselves Christians to have heart change as well. We don't have it all together but if we allow the Lord to control our growth, we will see our world through HIS eyes and not our own.
3. Pray for those 5 major areas of need in our city and surrounding areas: Crime, Poverty, Race, Schools and Consumer Christians.
