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

Prayer for Miami's Economy

Father,
We trust and know that all is your hands. Place your protection over this city and the people here, Lord. Provide for those who are impoverished and press upon those whom you've blessed so they would be your hands reaching out to those in need. Make all of us in your church more sensitive to your Spirit. Make us responsive and obedient so that we would know when to give and when to receive. Make us aware of the movings of your Spirit within the communities of this city so that we might depend on you and be encouraged and renewed in you. Strengthen your church here in this city so that we would learn to lean on you in times of blessing and also in times of hardship. Remind us that your econony is different from man's economy. Remind us that your goodness and provision is not affected by the stock market or by real estate or by tourism or anything else we might be tempted to depend upon. Remind us that we are called first to love you and then our neighbors regardless of the financial headlines or whether the city's economy is booming or slowing. As your church in Miami let us grasp firmly to you and nothing else so that you may be glorified throughout the world in times of prosperity and in times of economic and political uncertainty. We pray this together in the power and authority of the name of Jesus. Let us rejoice in you always! Amen.
