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 weeping

"We will never learn how to pray until we learn how to weep." - Bishop Gerald Kaufman

Precious Savior,

Turn our gaze away from ourselves. Enrich us with your compassion so the world around us would come into full focus. Give us the strength in times of trials to trust in your faithfulness for our own provision. Let us walk in your shadow touching those near us with your love. Thank you that we can be confident in you. Grant that as we are buoyant in you we would lift others into your presence. May we weep not for ourselves but for those who do not yet know your redemptive peace.

Amen
