Prayer For Urban Missions
‘ Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, 21 equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.’
– Hebrews 13: 20-21

Living in rural areas can be very challenging. Life is generally slow and opportunities for commerce are quite limited. People tend to know and recognize each other easily while strangers don’t go unnoticed.
Urban centers are totally different, busyness is on the rampage, and quietness a scarcity. With the increase in commerce also comes an increase in crime, drug abuse, greed, etc.
Christ died for all, urban and rural dwellers.
Let’s not be deceived that the comfort of life in urban centers and megacities automatically means divine approval or heaven on earth to take the grace of God for granted.
A life without Christ, urban or rural, mega or mini city, developed or underdeveloped society, is a life with no hope.
LET US PRAY:
