City Heights

God is moving in City Heights. He is using the body of Christ. Mark 14:38 The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.

Harbor-Mid City has an exceptionally willing spirit, but it's body is also weak.

Lord Jesus, we, as your body, as the church, completely put our faith in you. We know that you will provide for us. We may not fully know what that looks like, but we are working toward your vision. Lord, lead the leaders of Harbor-Mid City. Lead them into provision; we know you will open the doors of the charter school/community center. We trust that the leadership will be sensitive to your will and the opportunities you provide. We know that the charter school will be a sign of your glory. It will be a beacon of your light illuminating City Heights. Father, we thank you for sharing your love of the people in City Heights with your body attending Harbor-Mid City. Through you, we will spread your gospel. Your glory will reign in City Heights. The people of City Heights already know your love inwardly and will begin to see your love outwardly.

Lord Jesus, I also lift up the teenagers and leadership of I.O.B. I trust you will heal the brokenness among the teens. I trust that you are using the leadership to plant and nurture seeds. I know those seeds will grow to fruition, even if I do not know the exact date. I thank you for showing up every Tuesday to strengthen our community. I pray you will strengthen the leadership team and help us shine your light. Help us point to you as we acknowledge only you can satisfy the needs of the teens. Help us equip the teens with tools to seek you out when they are in the darkness. I see you doing this, and I know you will continue to bring strength and encouragement to the leadership team. Colossians 3: 3 and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. Jesus, continue to teach I.O.B. teens and leaders to be hidden in you, so we can grow together in relationship with you.

I praise you for answering this prayer, for listening to an unworthy servant. I thank you for your mercy and forgiveness, may you teach me to forgive others despite my hardened heart.
