God Intends for the Blessing of Man

He sends the springs into the valleys; they flow among the hills. They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. By them the birds of the heavens have their home; they sing among the branches. He waters the hills from His upper chambers; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works. He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and vegetation for the service of man, that he may bring forth food from the earth, and wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread which strengthens man’s heart.

Psalm 104:10-15

Prayer Focus: Man is God’s most beloved part of creation. God created the earth for His glory, and men and women are to be the recipients of His overflowing blessings of springs of water, along with a variety of animals, fruit, vegetation, and other abundance. As God’s people remain faithful to His commands and purposes, God will use creation to support grasses of the field, to the creatures God has made-all are intended to work together in harmony. God’s desire and intention is that the earth support, sustain and bless the people He has made.

Praise God for the abundance of His creation.
Worship the Lord for His heart to bless His creation.
Ask the Lord to open your heart to see His creation from a perspective of His purposes and intentions.
Ask the Lord to forgive you for ways you have taken God’s creation and blessing for granted.
Pray for believers to gain a new understanding of god’s purposes in living in right relationship with Him.
Pray that churches in our city will come together to seek God’s purpose for our community.
Begin to ask the Lord for a new vision of how He would bring transformation and healing to your city.
