Austin Prays - Praying for our City
“To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world.”
Karl Barth
On the last Monday of every month, we focus on praying for our city. We join more than 30 churches committed to seeing the city of Austin prayed for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year.
This month our focus will be praying on the hour from 7 am -10 pm.
It is a simple ask - take a few moments at the top of every hour to pray for our city.
4 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. 6 Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. 7 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. - Jeremiah 29:4-7
Let’s seek the city's welfare where we have been sent in exile( we are citizens of another Kingdom) and pray to the Lord on its behalf.
