"And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
-Mark 12:30-31
We love God.
And while we could come before God in prayer in our own homes and churches (and He cherishes that), we can choose to love Him and come to Him in prayer in this way also— using all of our strength, doing something that's harder than it has to be, sacrificing our comfort (whether physical or social), and doing these things out of our love for Him. Worship can look different.
But we also love Albuquerque, and our neighbors here, and we want to take the power of prayer seriously and trust God for what it can do for our city and our people. It shouldn't replace physical service to them, and we want this to actually push us along towards more of that... Rather, this is a spiritual service we can do for our city. The question becomes, then, why not?
Lastly, we believe there's power in praying in the areas you're praying for. So, let's cover the city. Let's start in the West on the outskirts of the city, and walk until the Crest that sits above it.
In advocacy for the people we love. In worship of the God we love.
