Father,
I am convicted. I am convicted of my apathy about the city and the place where you have placed me right now. I am also convinced that you care deeply for Miami and the people who live here. Forgive me. Forgive me for not caring. Forgive me for ignoring your call to prayer for so long. Forgive your Church, your body of believers, here in this city for our apathy. Forgive us for our pettiness and shallowness. Forgive us for not living out the lives of Faith you have called us to, Father. Forgive us and heal us. Join us together as your Church - your bride - here in the place where you have placed us. Oh Father, that you would be glorified in Miami. Put a burden on the hearts of your people to pray for this place. Hear us as we offer ourselves and this city as unworthy instruments for your Glory. Pour yourself out over Miami and her residents. Transform your Church and transform Miami.
Every Monday a Miami community leader will post a prayer here as part of this prayer blog. Their prayers will cover all areas of Miami from Liberty City to Fisher Island and will reflect the passions and burdens God has given them for this city. Make time on Monday mornings to join them in covering this city with prayer – for the children, for the poor, for protection, for the leaders, for the influential, for the economy, for the artists, or for whatever God is calling us to pray that week.
In addition, make it a priority in your own time to pray for your neighbors and your neighborhood. Pray for your city (Coconut Grove, Opa Locka, Hialeah, Coral Gables, etc.) and pray for Miami-Dade. Cover the people and the leaders. Pray that God would reveal to you what he is doing and that you would have the strength to respond in obedience. Use the comments area to post your own relevant prayer.
In your prayers pray for CPR - Cleansing, Protection, and Revival. Ask for forgiveness and cleansing. Ask for Protection from harm and evil. Ask for Revival in the hearts of the people. Ask God to pour out His spirit on this great place and that it will be a beacon in a dark world.
Pray that Miami would glow one day with the presence, power and glory of God
the way it now glows with neon. For more information: info@praymia.org
