Praying for Our City

Last week, some folks had the priviledge of being on the top floor of Jackson Hospital's Goode Bldg and looking over the city to pray for our area. Those of us who were there, were struck by the many different and diverse groups of people as we looked over neighborhoods. We knew that there were people below us who were struggling with things beyond their control OR with choices they had made.

Pray this week as you go about your day that those of us who are believers would be courageous enough to share with people who are hurting or separated from Christ.

REMEMBER: "But God demonstrated his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us".
Romans 5:8

School is starting back.....over the last few weeks this has been in the news. They have cited many instances of bullying in ALL of our schools over the last years...private and public. NO SCHOOL is immuned from violence and NO SCHOOL is immuned from bullying.

PRAY FOR STUDENTS...Pray that the kids will find peace and confidence in Christ.

PRAY FOR TEACHERS and ADMINISTRATION..that they will have wisdom and compassion.

PRAY FOR PARENTS...that they will have the means to teach their kids the right way to live. That parents will come to know the everlasting peace of Christ as well.

Ephesians 4:31-32
"Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you".



Ephesians 4:31-32
