Pray.Network Spotlight: Seek God for the City
If you were to create an
annual prayer calendar with the most significant prayer events included,
one of those "must-have" events would be Seek God for the City, the Lenten prayer campaign promoted each year by Waymakers.
Seek God aims
to unite believers and churches in prayer for their cities and
communities by providing a daily prayer guide covering the period from
Ash Wednesday through Palm Sunday. Available as a printed booklet and
as an app for iOS, Android, and Kindle Fire, the SGFC prayer guide leads
participants on a prayer journey through their communities and around
the world.
Seek God is written
in devotional style, each day featuring Scripture verses, a brief
written out prayer, further prayer bullet points and countries of the
world to pray for. The app links these countries to Operation World's
website, which provides more detailed information for each country.
Each day also includes an idea for prayer-walking. The daily devotions
are grouped into weekly themes, all around the general topic of Seeking
God.
Churches and individuals across the country use Seek God for the City to
inform their prayers for their cities and communities. The
consistently vertical context of the prayers combines with a focus on
specific segments of city and community to create an unusually
well-balanced prayer initiative. If you're looking for a great way to
pray for your neighbors and your community, you'd be hard-pressed to
find a more comprehensive, more God-focused, more balanced prayer
guide. Additionally, a free children's prayer guide (PDF) is available
for download from the Waymakers website, making prayer accessible to the
entire family.
The Seek God for the City campaign
runs from Ash Wednesday (February 10) through Palm Sunday (March 20).
We invite all members of Pray.Network to join in the prayer! The
printed guide is sold out, but you can still download the app - click on
