Your City

The word “bless” means “to praise, to speak well of, to ask God to look favorably upon.” Can you imagine how much of that we see in social media and culture? What we see scrolling through around the clock is quite the opposite.

In a time of division, negativity, and slander, it isn’t that hard to stand out. Where criticism is common, we can speak life over our civic leaders, nation, cities, and institutions. We can “bless our city” in prayer by lifting those in authority over our lives. When we develop the habit of speaking life to situations, we become solutions-oriented instead of problem-oriented; we will see answers and opportunities instead of issues and pessimism. A little light pierces through the deepest darkness, and this is our time to shine!

PRAYER:

Father, today I pray for my city. I believe You have planted me in this community for a purpose. I pray the Holy Spirit would continually remind me to speak life and blessing over my city. May we walk in unity and love for one another. Let me be a part of the healing and solutions, not the hurt and the problems. I want to have a selfless heart and generous hands. Reveal opportunities to give back because I believe we will flourish as I bless my city!
