Monthly Prayer

NDOP | |
We dream of a city where the Kingdom of God is established through believing, consistent prayer. Our desire is to network intercessors all over the city of Long Beach praying in concert over various areas of concern. Each month we will pray over a council district, City leaders, and schools and churches in that district. We will also pray over a Cause monthly and soak our City with the prayers of the righteous. We will also offer one of the NDOP seven spheres of prayer. To learn more about National Day of Prayer please visit their website.
In 2 Timothy we see this exhortation - "I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence." Again in Proverbs 11:11 we see that "By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted."

Scripture to pray over the City
For thus says the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.” Isaiah 37:15
Pray for those in our city who are disabled either physically, emotionally or spiritually to turn to Jesus in a spirit of contrition and that the Lord would come to revive them. Pray that He would raise up resources around them and stir the heart of the Church to be part of that resource.
NDOP guide: Pray for our leaders, as well as the judges in our courts. Ask God to grant them wisdom to act with integrity. 1 Kings 3:28; 1 Timothy 2:1-2; Exodus 18:21, Proverbs 11:3, Romans 13:1-2

Seek God for the City
Seek God on behalf of Physically Disabled People
In all their affliction He was afflicted. In His love and in His mercy He redeemed them; and He lifted them and carried them all the days of old. Isaiah 63:9
That they will be surrounded with loving friends and family; for steady refreshment of their hearts toward God; for physical stamina and healing; for financial provision to cover the cost of therapy and special care; that they will know and display the love of God.
