Interceding For Your City

Interceding For Your City lifts your eyes from your own needs to God's heart for the streets, neighborhoods, and leaders around you. Many believers sense a burden for their community but do not know where to begin, or they grow discouraged when change seems slow. This course gives language, strategy, and hope for city-focused prayer.

We explore how God sees a city-the brokenness, yes, but also the redemptive purposes He has spoken over it. From there, we look at biblical examples of men and women who stood in the gap for their people, and how the Lord used their prayers to shift history. I also share from years of praying for my own city, as well as serving leaders in different nations, to show what sustained, wise intercession can look like.

In these lessons, you will:
- Learn how to ask the Lord for His perspective on your city, beyond the news headlines and complaints.
- Identify spiritual strongholds and "gates" of influence-government, education, business, families, churches-and how to pray for each.
- Understand the balance between spiritual warfare and blessing, repentance and proclamation.
- Discover practical ways to pray on-site, build local prayer teams, and cooperate with other churches rather than compete.

The accompanying workbook helps you map your city, record prophetic impressions, and design simple, realistic prayer initiatives that fit your context. This material works wonderfully for intercessors, pastors, and small groups who feel a call to stand together for their community.

If your heart aches when you look at your city and you find yourself whispering, "Lord, do something here," Interceding For Your City will help you step into your role as a watchman and friend of God, partnering with Him in prayer for lasting, visible change where you live.
