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 Vision

Heavenly Father,

Please give us -- your church in Miami -- a unifying vision for this city. May we yearn for community with our brothers and sisters across this city: those who live in different zip codes, those who dress differently, those who speak differently, and those who look different. Look into our hearts and create change. May Christ be our first love. May the world see him when they look upon us and may we see him when we look upon each other. Let us learn to rejoice together in our blessings and learn to grieve together with broken hearts for the lost across the communities in Miami. Eradicate jealousy, fear, misunderstanding, prejudice, bitterness, competition, anger, and any other foothold the Enemy may have within the congregations across Miami. Let us feel a longing for community with one another. Let us begin to sense the unifying power of your Spirit in the body of the Church of Miami as You move across this city drawing your people together. May the Enemy feel it as well and tremble.

So Be It.
