Can We Be That City Oh God?
Today let’s pray together Nehemiah’s Prayer:
Nehemiah 1:4-11
4 As soon as I heard these words I sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven. 5 And I said, “OLord God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, 6 let your ear be attentive and your eyes open, to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for the people of Israel your servants,confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Even I and my father’s house have sinned. 7 We have acted very corruptly against you and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, and the rules that you commanded your servant Moses. 8 Remember the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples, 9 but if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there I will gather them and bring them to the place that I have chosen, to make my name dwell there.’ 10 They are your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong hand. 11 O Lord,let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name, and give success to your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” Now I was cupbearer to the king.
Father you said to ask and so today we are asking. Can we be that city God on our knees? We Believe in the power of prayer and we desire to see your glory manifested in our city. You said in your Word we have not because we ask not and today we come boldly before your throne and ask for Presque Isle, Maine (speak out your city’s name).
Father you said to Ask and Believe and Receive. Today we join our Faith and Declare strongholds be broken in the name of Jesus. God you know where there is evil prevailing in our cities. We ask you oh Lord to start at the highest point and tear it down. Rebuild the ancient ruins oh God and bring hope and justice for all in our city. We pray safety and salvation for every person living in our city today.
We ask again Oh God, Can We Be That City (ask again)?
Have A Blessed Day, For this is the Day the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it. amen
