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

The Church in Miami

Praying with you specifically for the Church in Miami - wherever it be found.
For the people of Christ and the response of the Church to those in need, for the people of Christ and the ministry to children, the elderly, and the poor; for the people of Christ and the penetration of the Church into the culture of South Beach and beyond; for the people of Christ and the work of Christ in the neighborhoods, classrooms, nightclubs, beaches and boardrooms; for the people of Christ and the conversion of the Church to her primary calling to bear faithful witness to Jesus Christ in word and deed.
O God, we pray for the bride of Christ! May her purity, her dignity, and her commitment to your Son be restored. May the Church know its primary calling, reclaim its only confession, and get on with its only work – bearing witness in Word and deed to your Son, our Savior, Jesus the Christ.
And even as we pray for the Church universal, we pray, Lord, for the local congregations of which we are a part. Use these sacred moments to prepare us to run with determination the race that it yet set before us – our eyes firmly fixed upon Jesus, on whom our faith depends – give us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that we may know Christ better. Enlighten the eyes of our hearts that we may know the hope to which he has called us, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for those who believe.
Do then, Lord, what you will - we are yours.
Amen.
