SEPTEMBER 13, 2022
For today's prayer I want to invite us to pray for your neighborhood. The prayers below are samples but use your own words to pray for the area where you live. I have said this before, and I believe this wholeheartedly, God has a purpose for placing you where you live, so let's pray for our neighborhoods today.
Let Us Pray.
1. Pray for Families.
Heavenly Father, we ask for your presence in families in our neighborhood. We pray for strength and understanding between the marriages in our neighborhood. We ask for loving, strong bonds between the children, teenagers, adults, and grandparents. We pray that each branch of the family would demonstrate love for one another.
2. Pray for Relationships between neighbors.
God, we ask for healthy, thriving relationships between neighbors. We pray different cultures will be able to understand and care for one another in our neighborhood. We pray that the diversity of your people will be celebrated by all neighbors, just as you affirm and love each one of us.
3. Pray for Schools.
Father, we pray for the teachers and local principals who devote their days to shepherding our students. We ask for guidance and patience for the volunteers as they serve our neighborhood schools. We pray that our schools will be a safe, positive community for our students.
4. Pray for local Churches.
God, we pray for guidance for our local pastors as they nurture Your congregation and seek to serve those around them. We pray congregations would welcome neighbors with open arms. We hope for residents to find a place to experience community with the body of Christ as they grow spiritually.
5. Pray for Safety and Peace.
God, you are our Prince of Peace, we ask for your presence in the streets and homes of our community. We pray for local law enforcement, for their safety and wisdom and compassion in all circumstances. We pray your comfort for those who have experienced violence, and we ask your protection for all our neighbors.
