Father Almighty,
we come before you this week in humility, covered in your mercy and grace. Forgive us - your church in Miami - for being lukewarm and self-centered. We don't want to be useless fruitless vines - tangled, dry, and ineffective. Father, we desire to be burgeoning with the fruit of your Spirit. We want to be tangled and mingled all throughout this city and bursting with the fruits of Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, and Self-Control in our homes, in our neighborhoods, in our places of business, in our church community, in traffic, in lines, in the marketplace, and all over Miami-Dade. We desire this, Lord, but we are completely ineffective apart from you. Draw close to us as we pause and draw close to you. May we have the strength and discipline to respond to you in obedience and to sacrifice our own selfishness so that the world would see a Miami bursting with your bountiful glory.
Amen
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
