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

A Christmas Prayer

Holy God,

the news of your coming from heaven to earth in the person of Jesus is nearly unbelievable! Help me to believe.
The reality that you would exchange the glory of heaven for the broken realities of human life is truly extraordinary. Help me to allow your incarnation to rock my world. Awaken my sense of awe. Widen my sense of wonder. Heighten my hopes and lighten my burdens. Feed my faith and deepen my devotion. Magnify my gratitude and multiply my generosity. Pierce my heart and grant my peace. All in the One who came, who comes and who is coming again, Jesus, The Christ,

Amen.
