Prayer starter

Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.” - Jeremiah 9:23-24

Lord, we pray for Taiyuan, that they would be a city not boasting in wisdom, not boasting in Man, not boasting in riches, not boasting in knowledge, but boasting in you! Let them know your love, justice, and righteousness in their city. Let them forsake the things of this world and pursue you. Let them know you and your character and your power. We ask you to raise up mighty givers, extravagant sowers of finances, resources, and energy to expand your Kingdom.
