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 School Children

Father,
We come together as your Church in Miami to lift up the thousands of children across Miami-Dade who start school today or in the coming weeks. Cover the schools with the presence of your Grace, your Peace, and your Spirit even (and especially) those campuses where you may not be invited. We invite you, Father, on behalf of our children and our neighbors children. We invite you to inspire the children of Miami. We invite you to love the children of Miami. We invite you to guard the hearts of the children from preschool through high school. Cover them with physical protection, emotional protection, spiritual protection. We also invite you to encourage the teachers and the administrators. We invite you to grant them all wisdom in the guidance and teaching of all the children in Miami-Dade. We invite you to instill the drivers and the security officers with a deep sense of love and responsibility for the children who they watch over and transport. We invite you to fill the coaches and trainers with passion, patience, and discernment. We invite you to intercede in the workings of the various education systems around the county. Honor those teachers and leaders who love you. Protect them and raise them to positions of influence. Give them encouragement and renewed sense of joy at the challenges facing them this year. Provide for them in all their needs as they pour themselves into the future of Miami's children. We ask this together as your Church in midst of your Grace and in the authority Christ's name.

Amen. So be it.
