Starting Over In Winston Salem

2 Chronicles 7:14 - 15 (KJV) "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place."

Richard Carver is a reporter with the Winston Salem Journal. I don’t know him personally, but he blessed me this week in a special way. On June 24th Mr. Carver reported that “BusinessWeek ranked the Winston-Salem metropolitan statistical area at No. 7 among the nation's "top 20 best places to start over."

BusinessWeek stated, "If you've been laid off or are just looking for a new place to start your career -- or life -- over, here are 20 places in the U.S. where companies are hiring and the quality of life is high.”

In keeping with the purpose of this blog, I pray for Winston Salem:
Thank you Jesus for this wonderful news. I am so grateful that you have allowed me to live in Winston Salem, North Carolina. I appreciate so much that you are helping our community survive and thrive during these challenging times.

Thank you Lord for this wonderful report. May it stir up a groundswell of gratitude, as our neighbors throughout Winston Salem acknowledge the favor that You have extended to our city.

I pray for Winston Salem. Jesus please move in the hearts of those that move to Winston Salem with a desire to start over. As they seek new beginning in our Winston Salem businesses, prompt them to seek new birth in our Winston Salem churches.

Thank you Jesus for hearing my prayer. Thank you Jesus for the praying people and the committed clergy of every Winston Salem church. Thank you for the quality of life in our region that is greatly enhanced by the spiritual passion of our residents.

Matthew 6:33 - 34 (KJV) "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
