Pray to the Lord for the peace of this city

(Audio: Español)

RESUMEN: The speaker shares a portion of the book of Jeremiah, urging people to seek shalom (well-being, justice, mercy, and goodness) for their city or country. They encourage prayer to God for this peace, rather than just seeking help from political leaders. The speaker believes that if people seek and promote shalom, God's blessing will come upon the city or country. They also remind listeners that as children of God, only He has dominance over them and they should serve His creation. The speaker ends with a prayer for shalom to be present in people's lives and in the world.

Says so:

“…And seek the peace of the city to which I had you transported and pray for it to the Lord because in its peace you will have peace, and seek the peace of the city to which I had you transported through it because in its peace you will have you peace…”
