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

Seeds

Father,
Thank you for the time of celebration that Easter brings. Thank you that across this city and county people sat and heard your word. Perhaps out of obligation or family pressure or tradition but whatever the reason people across Miami were exposed to your word and your Spirit as they came to a church or a parish and participated in celebrating the miracle of Easter. Lord, we know how powerful and how penetrating your words and Spirit are in our lives and the life change that accompanies them. We pray today that you would nurture whatever seeds were sown this weekend in hearts across this city. We thank you for our friends and neighbors who tasted your goodness this weekend and find themselves hungry for more of you. Make us, your Church, available to reach out in love to those people who are desperate for you. Make us responsive to the urgings of your Spirit as we work or play or study side by side with people who need to know your healing presence in their lives. Father, continue your work across this city one life at a time. Strengthen your Church so that we would be reflections of your love in this dark world. Guard our hearts and minds so that you would be glorified in our lives. This we pray in the authority, grace, and mercy of our risen Savior Christ Jesus. To him be the glory. So be it!
