Hello and welcome to the podcast, my name is Nicole. You are listening to Pray the Word. In this season of Pray the Word we will be using a resource called Praying God's Word Over Your City; 40 Days of Prayer Toward a Transformed Community by Trey and Mary Anne Kent, an excellent resource that has more within each "day" than what we share here, and we highly recommend it for those of you called to be watchmen.
You can find and purchase their resource here on prayershop.org
This podcast will be set up so that you can prayer walk with it, using the prompts for more extended and "onsite with insight" prayers. As always, let us know you are praying and the name of your town so we can join you and pray in agreement. At the end of each episode there will be Prayer Points for you to listen and pray through. Be free to pause the podcast at anytime to pray out what Holy Spirit is prompting.
O LORD, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O LORD do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it know; in wrath remember mercy. (Habakkuk 3:2)
Prayer Points:
Ask for forgiveness for the sins that have brought about our need for judgment. Be specific as you remember your sins and the sins of your community.
Repent of every way you have failed to show God's mercy to those who need it most, whether it be through wrong actions or selfish apathy.
Ask Jesus to pour His mercy over your city today.
Ask Holy Spirit to guide you to find and do acts of mercy in your community today.
Commit to receiving and giving the mercy of Jesus today.
God's mercy is His goodness toward those in distress, His grace is His goodness toward those who deserve only punishment, and His patience is His goodness toward those who continue to sin over a period of time. - Wayne A. Grudem
