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

Sean Taylor

I know our LORD is pleased when we pray. He has chosen prayer as a means for us to join HIM in HIS work; and to use us to accomplish HIS work. He wants us to be available to HIM to touch the lives of others through our prayers and our acts of love and faithful witness on HIS behalf.

HE is the "air we breathe" and HIS Word is our "daily bread". The shooting and loss of Sean Taylor in the past couple of days is evidence of our need to pray. Sean was an intellegent, healthy, strong young man. He was from a good family, good schools, and a nice neighborhood. Yet he lost his life in an act of violence.

May the LORD keep Sean in HIS love and grace. We know his only hope is the "merit of our LORD Jesus Christ" accomplished through HIS death in our place on the cross. All HE suffered contributed to HIS complete atonement for our sins. In the words of the poet: "I should have been crucified. I should have suffered and died. I should have hung on that cross in disgrace, but Jesus, God's Son took my place."

May the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort...comfort Sean's family and friends and all who knew HIM or were affected by his life. May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give us a spirit of unity among ourselves as we follow HIM.

LORD, I ask my brothers and sisters to join me as I ask you to reach the leaders of Miami-Dade. I ask you to make them aware of their need for you. Give them a hunger and thirst for you that only a relationship with you can satisfy. Fill them and us with your Holy Spirit. May our lives be characterised by the "fruit of the Spirit". May we receive the motivation and power to say "no" to the passing pleasures of sin"; and say "yes" to the abiding presence of God. May Your will; and Your rule on this earth be demonstrated by Your people being like you.

LORD, what would you have us do to reach many other people? May YOUR Body grow in quality and quantity to be like you. I love you Lord my strength. You are my hope and my life. "For me to live is Christ" and to died is gain."
