Prayers for Our City: January 6, 2020 – Church
“You are the light of the world. A CITY set ON A HILL cannot be hidden. … let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14, 16 ESV
As we dedicate 2020 to You, Father God, we praise You for Your faithfulness to the Body of Christ of Huntsville/Madison County. There is much to be done in our city, Lord, but first, we thank You for all that You HAVE done here in each of the 7 mountains of culture. We welcome anew Your deep love not only for those of us who know You but for those who have not awakened to Your love and light YET! May 2020 be a year of great awakening; new, perfect vision and provision here in our city.
We pray for the Church to awaken and be the children of the day that are needed in this dark hour. Remove any veils from our eyes to see with clear, perfect vision and be fully awake to Your beauty, love, and authority. Enable us to let go and unlearn any false ideologies or teachings about You; to truly submit to the teachings of Christ so that we may manifest fruit to those who are still in the dark of night.
Jesus, You came as the Light of the world; seeing with Your Father’s perfect vision. You deposited Your light into the lives of all who believe, then charged us not to hide it. Help us respond to Your call to arise and shine and share Your vision. Enable us to manifest the new nature You have given us. In this new year may we sound the alarm and let the invitation shine through us as a beacon for all to see. We are asking and believing for many, many in this city to see and respond to Your love and light through us!
We ask You, Lord, to bless the ongoing vision and work of all the ministries in Huntsville/Madison County in 2020. Encourage, guide, and provide needed resources to each one, including Our City On A Hill and the 7 Mountain Prayer Initiative.
“For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober (clear-minded)”. 1 Thessalonians 5:5-6
