When we hear those horrible reports of crime and problems in our major cities, let’s pray for those living there. If we live in big cities, when we hear sirens from the police, ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles, let’s take a moment and pray for the salvation of the people in our city! “But [Jesus] said, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” Luke 4:43.
