An Easter Prayer for Your City

Everyone wants to feel invited. Invited to the birthday parties, and the barbeques. God’s desire is for people, all people to know His son. It starts with an invitation.

I have prepared a prayer for us to pray over your City. Before you pray, ask God to show you all the people you have seen this week as you drove around town, shopped, and worked. Or any other activity you took part in. Really capture some faces.

I’ll give you a minute.

Do you have some images from the week? God sees them too, and many more. The ones you don’t see within your regular routines. God is as aware of them just as He is of you.

Your prayer today can affect the ones you do and don’t see. It’s that simple, City Prayer.

Easter is upon us, and churches are ready to receive an overflow of guests.

Let’s Pray

Lord, we lift up my Prayer Partner’s City boldly to Your throne. You see every person, the joy, hope, worry, and fear in their heart. Some have questions about You, a deep curiosity. Some are walking away from You, believing lies. And some don’t think you exist, as they enjoy your creation. May each of them be drawn to a local church. May they feel welcomed and wanted, invited inside. May Your love greet them at the door and the gospel truth capture and resurrect their hearts. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Happy Resurrection Sunday to you and your family!

I am excited about the devotional I will be reviewing next week. It is called PSALM 91, Fronliner, and First Responder Edition. The author is Peggy Joyce Ruth.

Keep Walking on Mustard Seeds,

  1. Thank you Michele. Beautiful prayer from a beautiful heart. May there be many who turn to Jesus Christ for salvation and forgiveness. May they receive Resurrection Life through their faith this Easter. Hallelujah

  2. Michele, in the past couple of weeks I’ve been thinking hard on your whole “Pray for Your City” idea. A Satanist organization has scheduled a three-day “SatanCon” in Boston at the end of this month. This proves the absolute necessity for us all to pray for our cities and all that is within them. Local Christians are organizing a counter-rally, to take place in the city, too, over the same three days, but not near the Satanists. Wisely, they are advising Christians to stay away from the SatanCon, so as not to be provoked into confrontation (those organizers would like nothing better than to drag believers to their level). The Christian assembly will be for communal prayer, for hours at a time, on Friday night and Sunday night, and all day Saturday. I know our region will have your prayers, too!
