(Dear Readers: Knowing God cares about our cities (see https://www.kingdomstreams.net/post/does-god-care-about-our-cities-and-the-problems-they-face if you want to explore this more biblically), sees them as cities, and will judge them as cities; and knowing I need to have more of His heart for my city; and knowing that He calls us as His church to intercede for "...kings and all who are in authority..." (I Timothy 2:1,2) I developed a prayer tool for myself and for the folks in our congregation who live in Los Osos, which is the majority of our congregation. I then used the same format and developed one for our neighboring city - Morro Bay - wherein a number of our members live. For the leaders in these two cities I wasn't aware of, I googled and got most of the info I needed. For the Sheriff's dept., I had to walk in and ask. Thought some of you who do not worship with us but live in Los Osos might want to use this; others might want to develop a similar tool for your city).
“Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf; for in its welfare you will have welfare.” Jeremiah 29:7
