FATHER…I pray for prayer. Before any other ministry for which the Church in Miami could possibly organize, I first and foremost pray for prayer. Before we plan, program, or strategize, I pray for prayer. In your wisdom and grace, may you cause in us a profound sense of our own inadequacies and an acknowledgment of our complete dependence upon you – manifested in a spirit of prayer throughout the Christian community here in Miami. In fact, Father, in the absence of prayer, hold back your blessing, lest we should ever say, “See what our hands have built.” Let constant and fervent prayer define us as the people of God – your Church – in Miami. Amen
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

quiet our hearts, Lord. Let us listen earnestly for your voice. Give us the strength to respond in obedience and diligent prayer when we hear you. Knit the church in Miami together as we join with one another in prayer for this city.
Let us pray knowing that God wants HIS NAME to be known, lifted up, and glorified here in Miami.
2 Chronicles 7:15-16
"My eyes will be open and my ears attentive to every prayer made in this place. For I have chosen this Temple and set it apart to be holy—a place where my name will be honored forever. I will always watch over it, for it is dear to my heart."
May You be praised Lord - and may the volume of your children's voices be louder than ever! God strengthen our faith, quicken our reflex in bringing everything to you...then should we hear your voice - may we act on what you tell us to do without trepidation. May we be known by your love. Let's dialogue God.
