KIDS: 21 Days of Fasting and PrayerSample

READ: “Also, do good things for the city I sent you to. Pray to the Lord for the city you are living in, because if there is peace in that city, you will have peace also.”—Jeremiah 29:7 (ERV)

RESPOND: I was recently driving with my grandma to her house. As we entered her small town, she started to pray for the people in her town by name (and for everyone she didn’t know very well, too), that they would know Jesus personally, and that the love of God would flow to everyone. She loves her little town and neighborhood and knows the people there need God. It reminded me of when I drive and go from city to city. I always see a sign that says, “Welcome to the City of . . .” Next time you see one of those signs, pray for the people in that city so that they would know God personally and have His peace.

PRAY: Dear God, I thank You for the city I live in. Please help more people to know You and follow You. Please fill the hearts of those in my city with Your peace. Help me to be kind and loving to my neighbors so that Your light would shine through my life. Amen.
