I hope that you are experiencing great blessings as you pray through Seek God for the City. I firmly believe that we pray best when we pray together -- unified for the purposes of Christ. I know that I get excited by our commitment to this, and I wholly believe that God does too! He loves our unity and he loves when we pray for his kingdom experiences.
Please know that as you are praying through this 40-day commitment, I am praying for you. I have been compelled by the Spirit to pray for you in four ways.
First, I am praying that your prayer life will become more and more passionate. I'm asking that you will grow in desire and enthusiasm to pray in this way.
Second, I'm praying that this will be a purifying experience for you. As you spend time in the presence of our holy God, seeking him and praying his promises for us, I'm praying that his holiness will inspire you to throw off everything that hinders you to experience him and all his fullness.
Thirdly, I'm praying that your prayers will be purposeful. I'm asking that you will grow to understand more and more how to pray "fulfill it prayers," not only "fix it prayers." I'm asking that you'll grow in your understanding of how to pray for the promises of God that we read of in the scriptures and the blessings that are ours in Christ.
Fourthly, I'm asking that your prayers will be powerful. I believe firmly, as Paul mentions in Philippians 4, that our God is desiring to supply all our needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. May God's kingdom come and his will be done in our lives and throughout the Bridgeton area, just as it is in heaven.
Amen
For Jesus & His Church,
Jamie Bagley
