Watch Focus: Bind Back Violence
Pray for our cities for the coming months of this year. Bind violence. Commission angels to thwart criminal activities including drug trafficking, bribery, and corruption at every level. Decree that the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous. Pray for honest businesses to prosper. Pray for the safety of our children and our schools. Bless those who minister in our inner cities, and pray for God’s mantle of peace, love, and reconciliation. May wounds be healed and broken lives restored. Spread a prayer blanket of peace over our cities. Pray for government leaders and the heads of various municipal departments that keep order. May have wisdom to combat the forces that have allowed crime and violence to rise. Pray for the protection of law enforcement. Pray for the vulnerable neighborhoods and loose God’s angelic host to protect the innocents. May a wave of revival to sweep through our cities, restoring lives and homes.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
Psalm 125, “Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts. As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, the Lord shall lead them away with the workers of iniquity.”
