Prayer Focus: Cities in Revival
Jeremiah 29:7 (ESV)
“But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.”
Devotion
Our cities and communities are not just places where we live; they are the mission field God has entrusted to us. The enemy seeks to sow division, crime, addiction, and destruction, but we stand in the gap today, calling on the power of God to bring transformation. We pray for the lost, the broken, and the weary, asking the Holy Spirit to move through every street, every home, and every life.
The word welfare in Jeremiah 29:7 comes from the Hebrew word shalom, which means peace, prosperity, wholeness, and well-being. God is instructing His people to pray for the complete restoration and flourishing of the cities where they are placed. When our communities thrive under the influence of righteousness, we also experience His blessings. This is why we seek the revival and renewal of Brookville and the surrounding cities, declaring that strongholds of sin will be broken, and the name of Jesus will be lifted high!
