each night when we walk home.

A town engulfed in
apathy.

A town that has men passed out on the side of the road in
the middle of the afternoon- completely drunk.
I’ve been told it’s normal.

My prayer for this town comes from Isaiah 9. I came across

this passage one morning and it immediately fit this ghost town.
“The people walking in
darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the
land of the shadow of
death
a light has dawned.
You have enlarged the
nation
and increased their joy;
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the
harvest,
as men rejoice
when dividing the
plunder.
For as in the day of
Midian’s defeat,
you have shattered the
yoke that burdens them,
the bar across their
shoulders,
the rod of their
oppressor.”
Pray for this town. Pray for open
hearts. Pray for light to shine here. Pray for encouragement
for the believers that are here. Pray
for revival in this ghost town.
