5 Things to Pray for Your City by Pete Nicholas & Helen Thorne
Prayers that Change Things for Your Church, Community and Culture
For Christians in urban settings
These prayers help you engage with the city around you
Part of the '5 Things to Pray' series, this helps you engage in renewing your city
Living in a city means you can’t help but be confronted by all the ways God is needed. The poverty, the corruption, the misery of the destitute begging for change and the affluent drinking to quell their dissatisfaction. Every alleyway needs hope, and every street needs God. And as cities are becoming increasingly large, and will soon hold 60% of the world’s population, knowing how to act on behalf of cities will become increasingly vital.
And the first thing you can do is pray.
Part of the ‘5 Things to Pray’ series of books, this edition is designed to help guide your prayer and grow your heart for the city around you. Each day in ‘5 Things to Pray for Your City’ features five different things you can pray for. From social issues like justice, marginalisation, economic issues and crime to Church-specific ways that a difference can be made, this short book will help focus your prayers and heart.
Helping you to become a better Christian as well as city citizen, each prayer point in ‘5 Things to Pray for Your City’ seeks to bring God’s kingdom to cities the world over.
This guide also features an introduction by Tim Keller, and spaces for your own notes and reflections.
