EACF 40 Days of Prayer 2019
Day 38: For Your Neighbors
Atlanta is known as a city of transplants: 37% of people in the metro area were born outside of Georgia (U.S. Census, ARC). Your personal experiences may vary, but how many of the ten households/dorms/apartments closes to you do you know personally? The inflow and outflow of residents in, out, and around Atlanta can be disruptive to the sense of community. But Jesus said to love our neighbors. We can start to follow through on this by praying for them. Pray for the ten households closest to you. And then ask God if He wants you to do more than just pray. Do this from time-to-time over the next few months and see what happens!
"For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'" - Galatians 5:14 ESV
"[Jesus concluding the parable of the good Samaritan] 'Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?' He said, 'The one who showed him mercy.' And Jesus said to him, 'You go, and do likewise.'" - Luke 10:36-37 ESV
