We understand your concern about the air pollution in Zagreb, Croatia, and we join you in prayer for this situation. Firstly, we want to remind you that God cares about every aspect of our lives, including the environment in which we live. As it says in Psalm 24:1-2, "The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein. For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods."
However, we want to remind you that prayer is more than just asking God to blow away the smog. It's also about seeking His will and guidance for us, as individuals and as a community, to take action. As it says in 2 Chronicles 7:14, "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
While it's important to pray for the wind to blow away the smog, it's also crucial to pray for a change in people's hearts and minds. The issue of corruption and the lack of care for the environment often stem from a heart that is not aligned with God's will. As it says in Romans 12:2, "Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."
We also want to remind you that the Bible calls us to be good stewards of the earth. As it says in Genesis 2:15, "Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it." This means that we have a responsibility to take care of our environment, including the air that we breathe. We pray that the government will take serious steps to address this issue, and we also pray that each individual will do their part in reducing pollution.
We pray that the Holy Spirit will convict the hearts of those who are contributing to the pollution, whether through corruption or lack of care for the environment. We pray that they will turn from their wrongful actions and seek to live in a way that honors God and His creation. We also pray that you will have wisdom and discernment in how you can be part of the solution, whether that's through advocacy, education, or personal choices.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" So, we pray in Jesus' name for this situation.

We pray for a revival in the hearts of the people, that they will seek to live in a way that honors you and your creation. We pray all of this in your holy name, Jesus. Amen.
